DAR Screen Shots

[Paul Charland]

Hi All,

I'm posting a few screen shots that cover corrections to buildings I already had drawn for the most part. Steve suggested changing the color on the station and after checking many color samples from various photos this is what I came up with:

Duane Porter sent along a few color shots taken around the yard in what must be the late '70s. This lead to correcting windows and doors on several buildings, adding the sand house and air system to the Car repair Shop, correcting windows and doors on the Ice House, and changing the color of the scales and speeder shacks.

In the background you can see Calkin's Building Supply being worked on today.

Ramp added to the north end of the Repair Building.

Guess this is part 1 as I see I can only add three shots to one message.

Wow. To see it come alive like this is stunning. Love the colour on the station.

Hi Steve,

I have about a dozen Kentville buildings I want to draw, then I can start filling in with 'off the shelf' buildings, add trees, place a few car spawns, and maybe even crossing lights, then I'll post another beta.

I'm ready and waiting.

(Actually I'm chomping at the bit... shh...)

Heh heh.

Hi Paul,

I don't know if you want to add any detail to the CVR branchline leaving the yard, but just to the north of your nicely done mile .23 plate girder bridge is a 45 foot pile trestle at mile .27 which acts as a spillway to relieve pressure on the main bridge during floods. Pile trestles look kind of cool. This one has four bents, each with six round piles.

Morning Dan,

Thanks, I'll look into the trestle... would look nice I'm sure!
