The correct buildings seem to be not on the DLS, so I leave it as it is for now. I like this layout, & the whole rest of it (Windrush Station & everything in-between) is fictitious anyway, so I don't mind too much if the roof doesn't look authentic. I'm not much of a perfectionist...

... & a new derailment option, that makes trains derail randomly for no apparent reason. (It's 40 years ago, that I owned a model railway. Maybe some things have changed since then, & maybe some people are more crafty in building track than I was back then. ) That would make a virtual model railway multiverse, with the sheds being universes interconnected by wormholes; & as these sheds are wooden, it's obvious what sort of wormholes that would be.

Ashburton (or, as he spells it, Asburton) has been modelled by razor: <kuid:78778:100059> I've downloaded it with TANE (faster & no 100MB per day limit) & imported it to Trainz2012. Like always, some assets are missing, & unfortunately the track is one of them. But there is also an amalgamation of this route with another one of razor's (Windrush <kuid:78778:100021> or Windrush V2 <kuid:78778:100212> ), named Ashburton (now with the 'h') to Windrush Railway V2 <kuid:234086:100617> , & here the few missing assets seem to be nothing too important. The trackplan of Ashburton Station in these layouts looks very much the same like the one above.

The next things you should create are dustpan & brush; you will need them very soon. (I know what I'm talking about, I own a cat, or rather vice versa. ) My first thought was like "What is this good for? Why model a model railway, when you can model the real thing?" But the last 2 pages of this thread have convinced me. This looks great & I'm thrilled to see it continue. Are you working with TANE or Trainz2019? I still use Trainz2012, & it doesn't seem to have this feature.

Maybe you have a few more rusty pins for the guy who added the annoying music to this otherwise nice video? I've been reading this thread for month (in fact most of the 142 pages) & found lots of inspiration for my own Trainz projects. I was slightly concerned when there were no new postings for more than a week, & I'm glad to see that at least 2 of the main contibutors are alive & well. Next time I'll write something about my own layouts, or rather other people's layouts more or less modified by me. Meanwhile, take a look at the newest railway painting by Paul Lloyd: https://greater-albion.com/2020/05/29/taking-water-from-the-troughs/
