NSM: Fencing - The Second Batch

Another outbreak of fencing today.

The top picture shows three variations of timber railed fencing for field boundaries. The choice of 3, 4 or 5 rails depends on the kind of livestock likely to be kept in the field. While the four rail fence is suitable for larger livestock the five rail is required to keep sheep and especially lambs where they should be.

The second fence type is a fairly typical railway paled wooden fence with concrete posts. An all wood version to a slightly different design will follow in the next few days.

NSM: Fencing - The First Batch

Just popping my head out of the bunker to show these fencing creations for North Staffs Minerals that have staggered into existence in the last few days.

The top picture is of some 5 rail timber fencing in a style used for railway boundaries.

Second down is some more familiar 5 wire fencing with timber posts complete with straining posts at each end of the run and some double sided straining posts that can be used along the length of the fence.

The final picture is three variants of fencing created from sleepers with pointed open and closed spaced versions and a flat top, close spaced version.

You can only assume this picture was taken from a narrow boat on the canal of 102t bogie tanks in Cockshute Yard, Stoke-on-Trent

North Staffs Minerals: Eturia Yard

Sorry it's been a bit quiet for a while. Family business and health issues seem to have been laying people low in turn for the past couple of months.

Anyway, what has been nice is receiving screenshots like these of Etruria Yard from the builder of North Staffs Minerals our 1970s route addon for RailWorks Train Simulator 2012 depicting the lines of the former North Staffordshire Railway around Stoke-on-Trent.

NSM: Trentham MGR

Some more work in progress shots of North Staffs Minerals, our route for RailWorks Train Simulator 2012 have arrived in the inbox from the route builder this week.

This time we get to see a class 47 hauled MGR departing Trentham Colliery and heading past the Wedgewood ceramics factory.

NSM: Colliery Line

Not content with yesterdays offering another sreenshot has appeared. This time of one of the many colliery lines in the route as it crosses a local road on the flat.

The rolling stock doesn't form part of the route and has been used to give a feeling for the area and its operations.

NSM: Railway Terrace

A couple more WIP screenshots arrived in the inbox the other day. This time they're of the area around Railway Terrace, off Brown Lees Road, Knypersley, Biddulph.

Obviously there's still a bit more tweaking to go with these but they do start to show the atmosphere starting to be added to the route.
