Yes as in closer together. Viewing this on my mobile so image is not that clear but am sure it will be fine

Here we go then - now to do snow and half heights...

Super the New Tracks.

And here's the updated snow version:

Looking good

Very nice!

I've added some lower speed narrow gauge tracks:

Are the early narrow-gauge station graphics correct? I would think the low-end wooden passenger platforms would be more appropriate than the top-end brick-platform-with-overroof for n.g. And do we need another bridge? How about the end-of-choose signal as well.

A splendid and useful addition!

We could do with some narrow gauge wooden platforms. Would be great if you could modify them. I'm hoping to knock up some bridges later - they should be quite easy as I have all the parts from the standard bridges and it's a case of inserting the narrow gauge track graphics. I will need to redo the wooden trestle ironically - getting an elevated way version consistent with it and with good snow images. That's the one that will take the most time!

I'm not sure that wooden narrow gauge platforms have much historical precedent. Have a look at these 19th century photographs of Tan-Y-Bwlch on the Ffestiniog Railway in North Wales:

They did not have platforms as such, but a sort of gravel area where passengers could alight. The modern stations have platforms after a fashion, made of concrete or some similar paving material, but these are only raised a few centimetres above the ground:

If we are basing our narrow gauge on Ffestiniog practice, as we are for the vehicles, then it would seem sensible to follow with the platforms, which are very different to standard gauge platforms: indeed, one might say that they are hardly platforms at all, but walkways, as they are not significantly above ground level. There is much to be said for simulating this aspect of things, as the current narrow gauge vehicles look wrong with high platforms next to them.

Fair point about wood v gravel. However your second point seems to suggest you haven't seen the narrow gauge platforms I made soon after you did the narrow gauge vehicles - they are reduced height rather similar to the last picture above...

jamespetts · « **Reply #48 on:** February 11, 2013, 10:28:57 PM »

Ahh, you are right - I had missed them! Now added to the Experimental version. Thank you for reminding me.

greenling · « **Reply #49 on:** February 12, 2013, 04:41:18 PM »

Thany you for the New Railways for Narrow gauge.

The Hood · « **Reply #50 on:** February 13, 2013, 10:05:24 PM »

There's a narrow gauge choose signal in the next SVN update.

greenling · « **Reply #51 on:** February 14, 2013, 04:51:56 PM »

The HoodThat it super that you make a choosesignal for the narrowgauge.

Finally, after much faff with blender and texturing, new canal graphics - joint effort with jamespetts...

For those of you not following the thread in the experimental section there are now 5 types of canal representing different widths/depths and capacities. Obviously standard doesn't enforce restrictions on this so they will be mainly cosmetic differences.

Splendid! Excellent work in getting them into the game.

Markohs · « **Reply #54 on:** February 28, 2013, 11:02:50 AM »

I'd personally paint a bit more blue in the smaller channels on the left one. They look great!

wlindley · « **Reply #55 on:** February 28, 2013, 12:17:29 PM »

Indeed, a gradation from light to dark blue would suggest increasing depth. Very much looking forward to these!

The Hood
The photo looks very good out.Good work.

The Hood · « **Reply #57 on:** March 08, 2013, 10:35:54 PM »

This should finish the way overhaul - additional bridges for canals and the narrowboat tunnel:

jamespetts · « **Reply #58 on:** March 08, 2013, 11:13:33 PM »

Splendid!
