Nearly every thing I make is based on someone project.

The water wheel mill. The buildings is parts of the flour wind mill that I got from FIRS 1.4.3 and the water wheel is a wheel from a tractor from Industrial Stations Renewal (ISR) set.

The mill you like .. the blades can get from either the flour mill and extend the arms, or y=use the blades from the wind turbines. The shape of the building will test me. I'll have to do some exploring of over previous projects see what building they did that easy to convert to these flour mills.

Not sure how soon I can do this as busy till at least Thursday.

Cheers pal

Collecting parts for it .. the flour wind mill should be able to alter it to make the dutch mill.....

Using these pieces should be able to design from it.

Area south of Hoorn represents the best of GarryG great work. Colourful flower fields with greenhouses lay's west from rail line. Some windmills by the rivers. Along train tracks follows A7 highway with high voltage line. There's also Kaufland mall with large parking lot. Passangers from regional train have nice view through the windows, they travel from Purmerend south from here to Hoorn and further to Enkhuizen.

I agree with Quast65 even if most of the work is mine :D

Just wondering about the tulip fields if the fields like nicer if I remover the gap. I left the gap to allow pickers to cross between lanes, but when we look at aerial views on internet those gaps not that easy to see.

So I remove the gap to see how they look and this the result.

Yes, they look better without the gap.

If they need to change to another row, they have a long long long walk to get to the end and then change to the row they need to go to. How long would it take to walk from one end to the other with some of those fields.

Expanded area south from previous one. It's just north from Purmerend. More beautiful flower farms also vegetable and wheat farms added with harvesting machines. Regional train is going south from Hoorn to Purmerend along with A7 highway and high-voltage line. In few moments it will pass animal farm just by the tracks.

That screenshot looks awesome. Very nice with all the colours.

I still in progress making a new Industry set, so have to do a bit of research if it be viable to have a flower farm as a Industry and flowers as a Cargo? The flowers would need to represent all flowers and the cargo can go to a florist, shopping malls, and export at Bulk Terminals.

Two shots of north-east area around Purmerend. In south-west corner just by the N244 road, there is IKEA mall with KFC and Mc'Donald's restaurants for hungry customers lost in maze paths of IKEA :) Comfort bike lane bypass city from the east with two entries to center of the town. North just by the Noordhollandsch Kanaal we can see line of scenic windmills. Just by the other side of the road there is large Kaufland mall with also large parking moved from the previous position in previous post. South from the city center just by the stadium there is a small camping site with parking for SUV's and campers.

Area around Hoorn. Station supports three rail lines. One to Purmerend on the south, second to Alkmaar on the west and retro-diesel line to Medemblik. North-west of the city the A7 highway connects with N307 expressway to Enkhuizen that goes along to the east by the rail line. Retro-diesel line has it's own platforms, locomotive and service shops.

Its lovely seeing how you and many of the other players use the eye candy (objects) and make great scenarios.

Yeah, I'm trying to fill almost every square on the map or at least these around the tracks. Using my creativity to do it realistic. Without all this objects from you and Frideamon it wouldn't be possible ;)

Haven't got any where with the Dutch Mill yet. Need to put batteries in my thinking cap to try working in it again. I can do it ok with the blades just one setting, but like to try animate it so the blades turn and drawing the blades different angles my problem at the moment, so I doing other things for a while.

I tried do my screenshot for competition to day and got side tracked making container objects as didn't realize I didn't have any.
This the result so far.

I have Railway station ones but not object ones.

So looks like I will miss out on entering the competition as next 3 days I be busy with some house work, shopping, and if weather fine Thursday go train riding and see if I can get photos of some new locomotives on the coal trains.

So looks like Friday my next chance to concentrate on coding.

Cheers pal
