Another update for preston station area. Slowly coming along now, as i am piecing the station up by loads of assets and copying the WCML Over shap version as best as i can.
Looks quite convincing though i think upto now.

Impressive as ever, Tom
Only one comment - can you find a larger spire for St Walburges Church - it is the tallest spire of any parish church in England, and most distinctive as one travels north from Preston!

Looking great, Tom.

On St Walburge's church: I don't know it but having looked at some images on Google I wonder if you might get a decent representation of it by combining the following:

1. Use the 'chapel' model in this pack (top-right one in the contents screenshot): http://members.uktrainsim.com/filelib-i ... leid=26272
2. Use the default 'church with spire' Kuju model but use the vertical scaling widget to make the spire taller.

I've tried number 2 to get St Mary's Kidlington to look more realistic. Distorting the rest of the model isn't so much of a problem as the church is some distance from the track and can be shrouded in trees and with other buildings. If you were to merge 1 and 2 above you might get away with it for St Walburge's.

Just a thought, anyway. Getting ecclesiastical architecture looking plausible is a niggle of mine - not enough decent models out there for my liking!

Keep up the great work.

Tom, on my L&YR-NW route I used no 2 as above (Churches Pack File ID: 26272, Assets/Cunningn/Churches/Church-spire.xml) with the settings x=2, y=3.5, z=2. This is what it looks like
Image
The "ground floor" of the church can be buried (and is not viewable from the track)

Note the 1950s views of Preston - the old houses have been demolished along with the mills!
