Nice postcard, awesome photoshopping again.

[WeekendCityPlanner 19]

OMG, your skills are amazing, especially your photoshopping ones. Did you increase the contrast of your pictures or something? Also, you are very fast, some of those buildings were released a week ago.

Fantastic airport! I especially like the "Castleford International" signs. They're realistic, snazzy, and they make it look like the entire airport was BATed separately.

Update 5

Taunton - Commuterville

Taunton is a small town located to the north of Castleford.It was founded in 1900 as a new town to house the factory workers of the Castleford Nestlé Chocolate Factory. It was transformed in the 60s into a small commuter town and then in the 1970s was overtaken by Castleford International Airport. It does not lie under the flightpath but can be adversely affected by traffic.

5.1 Taunton Community College

Built in the 1960s with the new town the community college offers vocational courses.

5.2 Copsley District Centre

A small shopping area in the Copsley area of Taunton. It includes the indepenent Sainsbury and Sons which was locked in a copyright battle with J Sainsburys supermarkets but it won.

5.3 Taunton South Station

A major link to the city it is the highest used station in the town. Opposite is the Station Close Surgery, one of many GP Surgeries built in the 60s.

5.4 Civic Buildings

The fire station, main college and police station are all located in the same area. The police station is the tallest building in the area.

5.5 Williamson Road Bridge

The RailLink line goes across Williamson Road between T2 and Aviation Square stations.

5.6 Robins Road

One of the pitfalls of 60s planning is the frictional blight between industrial buildings and residential buildings. Some residents complain about the noise caused by chemical plants.

5.7 Taunton Grammar School

One of the original buildings, built in 1901. It is the largest and best school in the area.

5.8 Arsenal Street

A typical example of the kind of 1960s housing. Behind it is Arsenal Common which used to be home to a small army ammunitions factory during WWII.

5.9 Forest Hill Rondabout

To the left of this image is the T2 RailLink station and to the south is the Oribital Motorway.

5.10 Jules Common

A small green area amidst the industrial hubub. Behind it is the Red Driving School call centre and headquaters.

Thankyou, I do strive for Englishness.

Thanks, I do like my postcard.

I increase the contrast by 25%, flip it and then add little photoshopped details.

edmonton_stinks

I do try to add little details if people see them it makes me smile.

oooHH GooD !

[The Big Z 103]

Great job! Taunton is very realistic. The layout is fantastic. The railroad is cool, too. I'm interested to see what your next update will have.

[edmonton_stinks 5]

Most of those houses look really nice! Although, I would hate to live next to the factory.

This is one of the best cities i have ever seen!! Great pictures! Did you know your CJ is on Wikipedia?

[lucky7 73]

What a great update, the postcard is unique! I like it very much!! Looking forward to more,

Hey GB nice to see you back in the CJ business! Your pictures are looking sharp... must use a good editor.

I like the BA 747...

[Smarty218 2]

Awesome work! I like the rail and road systems and the realism!

[Benedict 3,119]

Once again, really good work from you, although I was hoping you'd show us more from your previous CJ.

[Twenty20 28]

wow ! it's a fantastic work, these pictures seems to be of a real city !

[krbe 193]

Glad to see something one can keep up with But in regards to the signs; lotted or shopped? I'd say lotted, especially if that WP pic is authoritative. Also, there's a lot of buildings that look like they've gotten a concrete base to fit with the pavement?

Jesus; GB has shamlessly inserted one of his own pictures in the WP article (though technically he's the only one at liberty to do so).

[LBraden 14]

Have to admit there Ginger, never heard of a Castleford down there, only know of this one up here near Leeds, which coincidently, I live in

[psander5 195]

Stunning. I'm enjoying this so far. I'm learning some fine lessons in detail. I've never really used the lot editor to fully customise the look of my game but, after seeing here what can be done, i'll have to give it a go.

Truly wonderful work, a joy to look at. Keep up the good work, this is one of the best C J s I have ever seen. Can't wait for more

[roboo1 1]

Your CJ is great! It shows many things which I would try to learn from you

[wallasey 8]

Keep up the good work! Is it likely there will be another installment soon???

[tepodon 29]

That is one beautiful city, I especially love your airport, its absolutely amazing.

[Framling 1]

Yeah but no but yeah but no but yeah but I soooo can't believe you've just said that!

Absolutely great, did you play with the colours in PhotoShop or sumfink or nuffink? VERY English-looking indeed - and the city seems to be well rich, judging by the size of the local MINIs...

Keep updates coming and don't be giving me East Anglia evils!

[lifeless08 1]

This is the best brittish city ever, noone makes them!! And its so realistic!

[SirUnger 13]

WOW, awesome pics! It looks so realistic. I hope we will see more soon.

[spore415 5]

sirunger, its been a number of monthes since the last update so its unlikely but this is an excelent CJ! i loved the airport, i would definitely be a follower if it was still up!

[Merlin of Flyote 8]

How do you get all the sign writing on the Terminls and Stations.
