Isengard - New update 29.04 - LLANGEFNI - City Centre Part I

[M4346]

OMG what an amazing and stunning rail road that is! 

It is really incredible! Well done! 

[tooheys]

What can I say, that RR, beautiful work  .

Rarely does an MD show rail winding it's way thru undeveloped countryside. You have done a great job here and can't wait to see more.

Cheers

Dave

Awesome Update!!

Your railroads are really good planned and developed 

[Ennedi]

I was right, it will be a great MD! 

Your railroad is a perfect example of good terraforming:

1. Slopes are not too steep and give a realistic look
2. No sharp edges around the railroad - the slope begins a few tiles away (of course it is possible when slopes are not too steep)
3. The size of small hills corresponds very well with the radius of railroad long turn 
4. The forest is not too diversified and trees are carefully placed - it gives a specific atmosphere of high mountain landscape
5. The terrain along the railroad is precisely softened - I know it is difficult and needs much time 
Making a railroad with long turns on slope and avoiding sharp angles is very difficult - the slope tolerance of the long turn is very limited.

It's a great piece of an engineering work - Malinowski wouldn't be ashamed of it!

I have to agree with Ennedi, great work on the rail lines.  Very realistic.  It must have taken you a very long time to build.  I love the stone bridge over the small river.  Again Awesome work.

Hello Danthe 

This is a nice journal.  I enjoyed looking at the panorama picture. I like the way the railroad cuts through the hills and follows even ground. I also like the pine forests. I am looking forward to see how this develops.

Fantastic update of that beautiful looking railroad!! Great work!

[Jmouse]

That railroad is, indeed, an ambitious undertaking. It all fits well into the environment, though, and would make for a very scenic trip. Great job!

Until next time...

What a wonderful start to an MD.

I have spent many minutes staring at your pics. Superbly presented showing the care and level of detail you've put in to creating such vista's.

The only thing that puzzles me is the hangmans Scaffold in the courtyard? It looks out of place to me in a center for worship.

I shall be back for more with a nice big cuppa

[thundercrack83]

Whew! That monastery is amazing, Danthe! And the history is magnificent, too! Great read and great update! I'll be looking forward to seeing more!

[Schulmanator]

I like the monastery. Very well done and lots of great details - just the way I like it! 

BTW, how come they have the gallows set up?

[Jmouse]

Oh my goodness, the Monastery is beautiful. You have created a lovely and restful place befitting the reverence it represents. It must have taken hours but was well worth the time and effort!

Until next time...
Joan

[meldolion]

mmm, I'm considering becoming a monk , but I want to be in your monastery

Grreat monastery, it must be a very restful place

[paroch]

Only just caught up with your MD and have to say it's very impressive - particularly the railway line.

Great work
