Hi all,
Just done some minor updates at Gifford station. The bungalow that sits at the entrance to the station has been added (might get updated if I can get the 3D modeling software I need, as will the station building). The Goods platform has been reworked so that it no longer spawns passengers, still missing the crane though, again, if I can get a hold of the software, I'll make it.
Had a stupid incident with the old carriage that sits next to the station building at Gifford. A photograph of Gifford station after construction in 1901 showed that the station was very bland; no benches, no lamps, nothing other than the station building. A picture from 1910 shows the addition of benches, bins, bushes, lamps, and most notably, a 5-compartment carriage sitting next to the station building. To my surprise, I then found a picture of the station from 1952, 4 years after the station closed (due to a bridge near Humbie being destroyed because of floods), which shows a brick shelter (like the many already scattered around Gifford station) where the old carriage used to be.
So after removing the carriage and adding the brick shelter, I went back and looked at the 1910 photograph, thinking I was mistaken about the carriage only to find that I wasn't! And I had to add the carriage back in again.
Things that still need added at Gifford the goods crane, the water tank, and the platform bushes. When I can, I also hope add new building for the station bungalow and the station building, for upmost accuracy! Outside of Gifford, the Inglisfield level crossing still needs reworked to fit correctly, and Phase 2 still needs to be continued.
