Catenary being installed on major station tracks. Thanks to Roter Brummer for his great new catenary system  (Still learning how to use it)

Kind regards, Nebaru

And the station comes to life...

The small freightyard now shipping goods...

Electric locomotives can now get service at the local engineshead...

First concept of 13 track staging yard created...

Bearbeitet 14. Oktober 20187 J von henricjen

The staging yard was too boring a concept. 

So I have replaced it with an Alp pass station that all trains have to drive through. This is a very early view without details and final textures in place.

Kind regards,

Nebaru

Concept for the final station taking form. This will be a "Rhein" end station with a busy river harbor.

This will also be the "Parade strecke" of the layout.

So central to the "Rhein" part of the layout are the Grapewines (Weinrebe)

Here an early concept of their look on the slopes. Suggestions very welcome

Hello @henricjen,

Many greetings

are the Grapewines

Hi henricjen,
not long ago I requested a texture for that. But this Isn't just a texture, am I right?

Thanks all and to Andy;

No, it is indeed 2 3D items and a texture from the online database:

"Hoher Laubbaum" reduced to size 0,2, "Wooden fence" turned upside down and the texture "Waldboden_erde"

And then a lot placement work

Gruss,

Henrik

Great! I love all those 'special' solutions that people are able to find.
Perhaps the hint that a rough placement of a lot of same objects could be done with a plugin that is available! Don't know if you are aware of this.

First textures and buildings starting to form the small "Rhein stadt"

 

@Andy

Thanks for the tip, have tried the tool now

Ah, I see a thing that looks a little bit like the mouse tower. So it's getting a touch of 'Rüdesheim'.
I bet you can make wonderful pictures from normal human viewing perspective.

Gruss

Hi Andy,

I have had the great pleasure of visiting Rüdesheim years ago and loved the town.

So I had to open a "Biergarten" on the main street  Well, more of a "Weingarten"...

And then bring us to human viewing perspective. First beer or glass of wine is on me, all are invited

 

Hello henricjen,

They just look great. Gratularion.

greetings

Ja super stell sie online 

Vinter is here and Christmas approaching. Love snow and had to create a concept for the 4th module; "Ewiger Schnee" (Eternal snow)

This is very early without real mountain shapes, textures and buildings. Only a lot of "Gleiswendel"

And with Roter Brummers wonderful little electric "nebenbahn" electric locomotive and wagons there will be transport to the very top...

Hi @henricjen,

you're the Rolf Knipper of the model train Studio. What you are showing here is actually approaching the quality of this artist of model design.

Many greetings

Brummi

Hi Brummi,

those are very kind words. I think far too kind but thank you. Rolf Kniper is a legend in layout design and painting. I just like to paint in 3D

Here the first concept of the snowline (Schneegrenze). This is very difficult to get to look decent. But I will continue to work on it.

One challenge is the lack of your great looking low poly "Blautanne11" in a winter version. Do you still have the 3D model and texture available?
I mean if so, perhaps someday a winter version could be created...

Gruss,

Henrik
