Now that's something completely different!

What about those railroad tracks, are they new or the ones from the Czech set? It somehow gives the feeling of rusty tracks, is that intentional?

New, they were drawn by Coalroads Artist, quit a while back.

Yes, most NSW/ Australian railways are quite weathered. A lot of abandondned branch lines, and some lines see one train a day at the most...

It's a nice effect, imo .

Yes, it does! It blends in very well with the surroundings, looking very good!

hmm, i'd say the tracks a tad bit too dark, but it looks great overall! i've been waiting for this landscape for quite some time. maybe an entire climate change (like the Alpine) is an option?

Perhaps not the tracks itself, but possibly the "wood" the tracks are resting upon. I have no clue what the English word for it is though!

that's indeed what i meant, milady. still, i'm gonna get me this landscape pretty soon. or maybe i already got it, if it came with the ausset mail. anyway, enough OT.

Just for your reference, SAC, they're called "Sleepers"

Sleeper?

Sleepers? What a funny name!

Heh - I knew that was coming. Yes... Ambiguous, you may agree. Still... Blame the English Language.

Actually, it's exactly the same in Swedish "slipers" which *is* the English word, just spelled according to Swedish standards

I know, it's just that it sounds a bit funny in English, as if they're lying there sleeping...

...wait a minute...

..that's what they do!

SLIPPERS!?

What... You wear your railway on your feet?

I shouldn't have said anything...

...and that ends the OT.

Actually, the sleepers are also quite accurate, a very dark wood. I suggest it's because of the ligher colour of the grass around it actually. In later years, Australia is using concrete sleepers, but thats impossible to do in TT, and most branch lines are using crapped out wooden sleepers anyway.

Hell the "main line" into our Capital City is a single track branch line that has such a rough ride, trains are severely speed limited .

Finally, if you guys do want to discuss the landscape and whatnot (and believe me, it's very much appreciated to see more community input), we'd be delighted to meet you in the thread I linked to earlier .

In Dutch a sleeper (the wooden things, not the carriages) is called "dwarsligger" (something that lies across something else) or "biels". A sleeper coach is called "slaaprijtuig" (sleeping coach).

Did I not just say to end the OT?

And here's a few more from me

Where can I actually get this landscape-mod? I looked up the ausset topic, but can't find it
