Jen's random cities....

[jen_p]

Wow, so many replies, thanks to everyone who commented.

I've started two cities now, Pemberton and Littleton-On-Sea:

Pemberton's main residential area:





The church, the fire station, hotel, and most importantly, the pub:



Pemberton's train station:



An overview:



Littleton-On-Sea would have to be the smallest village I've ever created. It's not much more than a small train station and a few houses:

Nice job, jen_p. I love the steep hills, but I think my favorite picture is the one with the train coming through the town. It looks very realistic! Keep up the good work!

Great eye candy as always!

  An Ozzie captures England...

Technically, I'm a Brit as well as an Ozzie, so I have a sort of ancestral feeling that it is home.

Oh and thanks a bunch for the special interest April 07 award.

Nice work here Jen, great atmosphere you have created with the different bats you're using.

[rooker1]

Great pics, I love the row homes and industrial right across the track.   
Congrats on the award.

Once again, more fantastic pictures. And I see that you managed to get the japanese walls to work correctly too. I must admit that I failed. After several tries I settled for only 4 out of 5 working textures.

Congratulations on the "Special Interest" award, my friend! Can't wait to see the next update!

[threestooges]

Congratulations are certainly in order for the award as this MD is the source of much "interest". In particular, the one pic with the train pulling into the station (in the 4th pic) is a nice contrast of the old and the new. Although, in the second to last pic, the one with the shot of the station, it seems that if the track going around the station is meant to serve as a way for trains not stopping at the station to bypass it, it would make more sense to have the station off to the side so that the mainline (bypassing the station) does not have to go through the curves of the switches (and therefore force the trains to slow down to do so). Either way, this is a great MD, keep it coming.

Thanks, everyone, expect an update over Easter!

You caught me out. Where's that sheepish smiley when you need it. I put the station on the main line, before I realised I needed a bypass.

See the first picture in this update, I didn't notice before that I didn't take a picture with the sea in it.

And, everyone else, thanks for the comments.

Littleton-On-Sea's wave-power generator:



Suburban houses in Dunsinane:



The mill brook:



Dunsinane's high street and train station. That road would take a while to travel down, with all of those traffic lights!

[emilin]

Awesome details everywhere. The diagonal park looks amazing, and so does everything else too.

[Flipside]

Beautiful stuff, truly. I love that train station!

Keep it up. 

[thundercrack83]

Beautiful job! The wave generator looks fantastic, and I agree with emilin on the diagonal park, too. It looks fantastic. Keep up the good work!
