Cornish St Ives branch

[Taffy Cross]

Hi all,

I have started working on a short route that will commence at Penzance and turn left at St Erth and wander down the branch line to St Ives.

The overnight sleeper service has been placed in platform 4 whilst the loco has gone off to shed.



Bye for now,

Stephen.

Hi all,

Back into PZ today. Departure signals installed, train shed walls and trusses up and just awaiting the roofers. Also a large stone retaining wall on the Up side in too. Will post some pics in the morning.


Penzance train shed, though you're likely to get wet if it rains!.


Signal electricians have been in and their favourite colour seems to be red!

Bye for now,

Stephen.

Looking good Stephen. Taking shape. Would be great to do a 70s one down around there with some local trip freights to St Erth and Hayle.

Looking nice, I've just got started in writing OpenBve routes looks like its a steep learing curve. Any advice would be welcome.

Hi all,

I have recently had some spare time, so I have managed to do some more work on the route.

Penzance now has a roof and rationalised arch supports.

Looking back across the throat of the station towards the buffers.

Departing St Erth with the road set for the branch.

Crossing the viaduct moments before arriving at St Ives.

Minor question is it the screen shots causing it but the sleepers look the wrong size as in to wide.

Hi all,

I have finished all the curves on the mainline, started working on creating modular passing scenery and finish putting in the track work within Long Rock Depot.

The HST service shed at Long Rock TMD, Mk3 coach positioned to gauge building's scale.

Approaching St Erth with the Home signal cleared for our arrival.

Will hopefully get some more spare time to make some more structures. Only the sidings on the London side of St Erth on the down left to be installed. Will then put the curves into the branch followed by the gradients for the whole route.

Bye for now,

Stephen.

Hi all,

Working on the static trains for the route. A Cl 57 and Night Riviera set of coaches.





Still a WIP, with the most work left to be done on the cab's front.

Bye for now,


Stephen.

Hi all,

The FGW Cl 57 is still very much a WIP but I thought I'd post another screenshot.


Bye for now,

Stephen.
