Consequently, as the route is being built as it was in the 1930's, I have revised the model and taken the opportunity to add the disused coaling stage and inspection pit, to the south of the shed.

Lynton Revised
I have been reliably informed that my Lynton locoshed is too small. Apparently, it was extended during its life to be large enough to accept a carriage.

Lynton
I'm off on holiday for a couple of weeks, so I thought I'd leave you with a screenshot of my first assets for Lynton station.
Both the locoshed and the signalbox have visible interiors which I still find difficult to light properly. Using just a 3DS Max "skylight" makes the interiors too dark. Currently I tweak the shadow map to get the effect I want, but if anyone knows a good way of illuminating the interiors any guidance would be appreciated?

Woody Bay
Back to work on the Lynton & Barnstaple!
Have just finished the assets for Woody Bay. Originally called Wooda Bay the station survives today and is home to the Lynton & Barnstaple Railway Trust, who preserve the station and a short section of track. However, they hope to re-instate the whole line at some point.
On the other side of the track is the Station Hotel, later re-named the Moorlands Hotel. It still operates as a small country hotel and self-catering holiday establishment.

Platform Trolley Update
I had a request to update my trolleys to be selectable in scenarios, which only takes a few minutes, so I agreed to do so. It also gave me the chance to fix a problem with one of the stencil shadows.
While I was in the mood I also agreed to provide some luggage and boxes to put on the trolleys and here's the result ...

Luggage trolleys
After the release of the recent steam era luggage trolleys, I was asked if I could make some modern versions, so I thought I'd give it a go.

Texture tweaks
In retrospect I was rather unhappy with the textures on the Parracombe watertank, it hardly looked like something that had been around for several decades.
So, courtesy of photoshop, here's a revised version.
