Werrington to Rhubarb Bridge 1950's (colour Version)

A Colour Simulation of a freight trains journey through Werrington & up to Rhubarb Bridge during the late 1950's, All buildings have been placed onto an OS map to give a sense of scale, & are mapped using TRS2006 & Gmax. In real life, Walton Crossing has been replaced by a footbridge, Sages operates under different owners, Brotherhoods is now a retail park & Morrisons. Rhubarb Bridge was demolished in the early 60's to be later (1974) replaced by a bridge of the same name carring the A47 dual carriageway over the railway.. All the fields on view are now covered by factory units or houses.

I just made a late 80's model for peterborough to spalding using google maps and an old OS, but this morning Trainz decided to die on me :(

OMG, its got a habit of doing that, very tempremental programme!! I have lost everything a couple of times, including all the downloadstation downloads ive made, only for it to mysteriously reappear 5-6 days later, so hang on in there!!

@RailwaySeriesKB well i have a little tip. if you lay down some massively long straight pieces of track (i.e. from fulbridge to werrington) and then place the track junction creator (the circular point creator thingy or whatever its called) on the two spots where you want the tracks to be joined, then lay the track down between the two points, it keeps the track straight. If not, straighten the track BEHIND the junction. This should work. Its a little more effort, but it looks good.

@DoctorWho50Years I tried this myself. Im struggling to get all the points in and keep the track straight; even using the track starighten button! :@

Hope you kept the old Peakirk yard in there though ;)

i just made it much worse for myself... my download station wasnt working AT ALL since i bought the game in December. Ive tried everything to fix it. So I decided to re-install the game. However, after uninstalling this morning, i can't find the disc! Can't believe it... I've just spent the whole day looking for it!

So thats what i meant by dead! :(

Nice work. The Sages factory (now empty, but previously Triplex Components) looks spot on - I wonder how many people know that Peterborough had an aircraft manufacturer? I remember that wall of Brotherhoods being painted pink, dont know if it always was, but the chimney had 'Brotherhoods Thermoelectron' painted down it.
