Appologies...

I'd just like to apologise for the delay in these photos, this has been because of some issues with steam which have now been resolved. Anyway here they are, enjoy:

Oh and one other thing, I'm going to start the weekly edited image again.

Signals Update

Signalling Dinworth Central Station is now nearly complete pictures very soon.

Update

Route building is going well, will shortly (next few hours or so) be starting to (finally) add signals to the Dinworth Central Approach. Will post pictures soon, maybe a before and after shot if I can find a picture of it before all the work.

Route Building Resumes

After just over a month of emailing Railworks Support we have come to the conclusion that I require more RAM in my computer to stop it crashing, unfortunately I will not be able to afford the upgrade until after Christmas. So to keep route building going I am reverting to my last Railworks 3 Backup and will be using that until I get the RAM upgrade. This should mean normal service will resume. I would also like to thank those who have viewed my blog this month and helped make it the month the blog has been viewed the most in, I noticed that a large proportion of these views are from Russia and the Ukraine, so perhaps in the future I may develop something for that region of Europe. Anyway thanks again.

The Joys of Forgetting to Back Up

Well I forgot to back up and another problem has struck and meant I have had to revert to my last TS2012 back up which has none of the new OLE around Dinworth, so it's back to square 1. Hopefully I'll be where I was last night by next Sunday.

Route Building can resume......?

I think that the problem seems to have just stopped, I am hoping that it won't come back, but in the meantime I'm working faster than before to try and catch up a bit, however all the OLE around Dinworth Central is now complete, just a little bit on the approach to apply and then I can finally try the erm... stressful task of signalling the entire thing.

Apologies

I apologise for the lack of posts however I have little to post about to be honest, I have made little if any progress since the launch of Railworks 4: Trainsimulator 2013. This has been due to the world editor constantly crashing, to give you an idea of how bad this problem has been the progress I have made is to add 15 OLE pieces around Dinworth. Which is looking a lot better after the addition of some rather tall buildings (which were added before RW 4: TS2013) from London to Brighton and the North East Corridor Route, including the Shard and Empire state building (which has a rather nice view of the station from the top of it, I might add a picture when I sort the problem out. I feel that these buildings help to make Dinworth feel less flat and add some nice features to look at.

Railworks 4:Train Simulator 2013, what a farce.

To start I'd like to praise Railsimulator.com on improving both graphics and performance as well as some new, quite useful, route building tools. However I'd much rather have kept both the old menu and F3 HUD.

Once again I was disappointed to discover that every time I launch the editor it crashes at some point so unfortunately route building will be much slower than usual  for some time.

Dinworth Remodelling

As part of the remodelling of Dinworth Central I am increasing the mainline from 4 to 6 tracks out of the station simply to make signalling easier, although the track work for the extra lines has proven quite difficult because of the pre-existing layout which without removing 20 (yes twenty) miles of track cannot be made simpler. I may post some before and after pics of the work if I can find some good photos of the old track work.

Signalling Reaches Dinworth

Finally the Signalling work reaches Dinworth which in it's current state is not fit for signals because of the complex and very tight nature of the track combined with the limitations of Signalling in Railworks. So I am redoing a large percentage of the track from scratch and leaving virtually nothing untouched which should hopefully both make adding signalling doable and easy whilst increasing the realistic feel of the station. I would also like to apologise for the lack of posts recently, I have been rather busy over the summer, I went to Barcelona for five days in July immediately followed by my work experience at Nissan Sunderland both of which I thoroughly enjoyed, a couple of weeks later went to stay at my father's work colleague's static caravan in Warkworth for a fortnight which was good as well. So I have been rather busy but I shall get the weekly photos and regular posts sorted out for you again now that things are calming down again ready for school.
