    You should find the new 'road' here: Euro road texture mod
    And the 'circle' is part of the new NAM (Network Addon Mod). If you don't have that, download it under essentials in the modding section.

    Thank you very much for opening this page. And thank you for your nice words, too!

    But, ahem... What do you mean by 'error'?
    And I do not understand the word 'cabal'. What is that?

    Anyway. Thank you for your post. Merci beaucoup!



    There will be some new pictures soon.

    Thank you for this comment. It is always a great pleasure to see you here. I hope you will like this one as well.



    Construction of the rail line


    The planning state is over. The local council agreed over a trace for the new rail that is going to pass the ground of the village. Unfortunately some houses have to be bulldozed, some people are very angry. But it is believed by the majority that the best compromise has been found.

    And construction allready has begun.

    Some trees had to be cut as well:

    aukvillagepart9p11wi.jpg

    This bridge is nearly finished:

    aukvillagepart9p21en.jpg

    Another bridge that has to be build:

    aukvillagepart9p38cv.jpg

    And the one at the other side of the village is half finished, too:

    aukvillagepart9p42rr.jpg

    This is the main construction site where the station will be build:

    aukvillagepart9p62ky.jpg

    And here you can see how the whole town is full of ongoing work:

    aukvillagepart9p77nd.jpg

    The former restfull peace is gone. But hopefully soon the rail line will be completed. And many citizens are waiting eagerly for the first train to arrive at the local station.

    But that will be part of the next update. So - stay tuned.


    What do you think?

    The completion of the western part of the rail line


    Do you remember this newly remodeled high tech park?

    aukvillagepart823hl.jpg

    Well, the construction of the railway caused it to be remodeled yet again.
    This is what it looked like just after the railway was build:

    aukvillage11p18el.jpg

    And like this it is looking as of now:

    aukvillage11p29oz.jpg

    Now we will see the new tracks, entering the village from the west.
    The first bridge:

    aukvillage11p37fj.jpg

    The second bridge:

    aukvillage11p43ef.jpg

    The third bridge:

    aukvillage11p53qg.jpg

    And the surroundings of the station:

    aukvillage11p68eh.jpg

    The eastern part of the new local rail line isn't finished yet. Work is in progress. So - stay tuned.


    Good one?

    You know, I think the UK BATters should make some cool stone railway viaducts... especially like those big ones they have in Scotland. That would be a bit more realistic for your UK rail where the railway track goes over roads. They usually have sidings at least, with advertising boards on them.

    Very cool stuff, and very lovely landscaping and terrascaping. Curious where you got those smaller shrubs and bushes from. Are they plant-able and drop-able in God mode?
     
    Keep up the fab work.

    E.J.C:
    Thank you for your reply. I am glad that you like the elevated rail line.

    artemis:
    Thank you, too.
    Yes you are right, it would be great to have viaducts. But I suppose that would be hard to make.
    About the bushes:
    I use jeronij's Plopable Maxis props and Andreas Roth's Mayor Mode Tree Mod .
    I hope this helps.



    I will post some pictures soon. So have a look again later.

    The eastern part of the new rail line


    First a closer shot of the station. It is really cute, isn't it?

    aukvillage12p18ss.jpg

    And here another picture of the bridge to the west of the station. This time from the other side. And as you can see, the rail line is already in use.

    aukvillage12p25ww.jpg

    This is the first overpass to the east of the station:

    aukvillage12p31vm.jpg

    And this is another bridge:

    aukvillage12p43fi.jpg

    Here we see the rail going through the forest and climbing up the hill:

    aukvillage12p51df.jpg

    The main line is entering a tunnel here. The train is comming from a side line:

    aukvillage12p65kn.jpg

    And at last an overview of the eastern part of the newly constructed rail line:

    aukvillage12p74xw.jpg



    I hope you like it. Next update comming soon. So - stay tuned.

    Very nice pics of the construction of the railway. I like the way you have tried to minimise on the number of level crossings in urban areas, just like in real life.
