A scene

Here is the village of Rinckenstadt, a small town on the river from St.Rudolf.  This scene is made for a video which I am making of my first rail vehicle. It's working, with own sounds, cab and a small waggon. After learning a lot of tryal and error, I shall start a new 'real train' project. I already did some sound recording, next step is getting technical details of the train,etc..
Objects in this scene are partly from my upcoming route, the railvehicle will be published with some new objects as freeware.

First railvehicle on tracks!

After some work I exported my first railvehicle. It's a free interpretation of a Liebherr 900, with some elements of a ATLAS crane. It is still normal asset, for the next part I have to do some study.
So many (novice) builders stopped finishing their projects, which they started so enthousiastic, because it became to complex. (regrouping, wheels, lods..engine..scripting etc...) My goal is to make a simple version, only used as AI-traffic. When it feels OK, I will try a more complex train.

PS For those who ask me, when my route is published or the assets presented here..please be patience.
The objects presented form now, will be included in my new project, which is now getting shape in my head...

Abandoned railway visited.

In this video you see the 'Dutch beeching' of a railwayline in my neighbourhood, the last one..

Old railways

For several years now I am fascinated by old railways. In my hometown a small railway leads to the village of Stiens. It was used for transporting patatoes until the late 90's. After that it was closed and partly dismantled. Now the last parts are disapeared. Today nothing is left of the railwayhistory. There are no factory railways left..Friesland is boring for railwaylovers, thanks to ProRail. The only thing counting for them are 29 eurocents for a kilogram rails..

watch this sadly video...

Both photo's are history by now.. although Arriva is investing the possibilties to reactivate passenger service on some nothern local lines. Hopefully they don't sell the land..

Nostalgic video

finishing my route, starting new project(s)

I have finished my route..feeling a bit empty when it comes to Railworks.
Some expert is now doing the (re)signalling of the route. After that I will give some information about the release of my route. I am negotiating with a German company about this.

Until then I wil start my new project..animated scenery for general use. Also I will try to make a train in the next periode. First attemp is a simple rail vehicle, just to learn. Here is a first render of a Liebherr 900(in progress of course) After that maby I start with this Diesel train which is used by Arriva in my provence of Friesland. Regards SAD

Rangierbahnhof

At the end of my route I close with a old 'Rangierbahnhof'
Here some example pictures of the new tracks made for this and some Birch trees for between the tracks.

Nice days, good RW 2011 !
