It's Been A While

Ok so things have changed, layouts have come and gone, but the desire to build an accurate model of the railways around where I live has stayed the same. So for the last year or so I've been playing around with a few ideas, experimenting with Transdem and basically making more than a few false starts. I have now settled on a area to model. Well two areas that will later be joined. The first is Rotherham to Chesterfield, the second - Doncaster area to Rotherham. I've spent some time sourcing the maps to use as a base layout and after finding a way to erm 'retrieve' these maps I have then used Transdem to import them into Trainz. Well that was until Roland , the author of Transdem, gave us a new way of working with prototypical maps i.e. 3D tiles. This meant starting over, again! It really wasn't too much work seeing as I had all the data already. Anyway thought I would post a few screenies of the layout under construction using 3D Tiles in Transdem. I will endeavour to post frequent updates to this blog.
