I grew up in Bridgnorth. From the mid 1950s until the line closed, this was a regular journey to Shrewsbury, where my mother was from. Early train from Bridgnorth,first stop was the children’s play area in the Quarry. Then onto the market building, fresh produce and maybe cakes. Then onto Auntie Gin and Uncle Bill who my mother stayed with during the war. Your video journey brought it all back to life, thank you. PS you were right to get rid of the bird song, much better without.

A fascinating recreation of a lost railway. One correction. The Potteries, Shrewsbury and North Wales Railway referred to at 19:30 opened in 1866 but was a financial disaster and was closed in 1880. It then lay derelict until 1911 when it was reopened as the Shropshire and Montgomeryshire Light Railway which operated out of Shrewsbury Abbey Railway Station.

Try Stephen Spry's Northumbria series on KZfaq. Starts with how to use a height map and then how to put a real life landscape onto a TF2 map. And experiment yourself with recreating small scenes that you are familiar with, such as a few streets from your home town. Practice is everything.

I must get around to playing with this game, had it for ages but not had time to look at it. From a film point of view I would like to do something similar but using cab shots, running along side and passing shots from location as the one think lacking is the engine/train as such it could almost be a drone running down the track. Don’t know if this is possible but I will give it a try.
@anthonyguter 2 ай бұрын
It is easy to do drone shots, just move the cabview camera a bit. It will track the train from whatever angle you leave it. I chose not to do this because otherwise I might never have stopped adding and editing footage.

I lived on the outskirts of Kidderminster in the early 1990s, and visited SVR at Bridgenorth a couple of times. The tunnel north must be behind the sheds as I didn't see it. A pity the tunnel can't be reopened, it would be amazing to easily travel through a countryside with no roads.
@anthonyguter 2 ай бұрын
The tunnel is exactly where I have placed it - across the road from where the current SVR tracks end. The bridge that used to be there has gone.

As a fan of the Brill tramway (A friend and I tried to walk along it in the early 1960s) I thank you for this representation. I notice, however, one error. Platform edges were not painted white until 1939, as part of the WWII blackout regulations. My impression is that the road was much nearer to the railway than you have shown, but that may be because the road had been widened between the time of your depiction and the 1960s, when I saw the remains of it.
@anthonyguter 2 ай бұрын
I made this some time ago when there was less choice of platform models than there is now. You may be right about the road placing as well - I take more time these days in checking with the original maps.

Anthorny. This lot must of taken hours to produce. Well done for sticking with it. It has been a facinating journey along the line. At the same time, you can see why it never lasted. There was nothing there. Once the Industrial Revolution moved away from the valley and the coal mines shut, there is no revenue to keep it alive. Atleast you efforts have made it worth while.

There are a number of anomalies within this simulation. Stencilled speed restriction signs were not used at this time. And if they were, they did not look anything like the ones we know today. The fence appears to run alongside the track on one side only. Each telegraph pole has a curious grey box clamped to it .- what is it? The wires suspended between each pole do not match up with the insulators, which themselves are badly designed.
@anthonyguter 2 ай бұрын
Where to start... I wanted to put up speed signs so that anyone watching would understand why the trains were runnning slowly. Thes ones I used are the only assets available. Sometimes I left out the fences because in reality they can be lost in the undergrowth and also because it is tedious putting them in and doesnt really matter. I am one of the very few KZfaqrs who even bothers with fences. The poles come from a mod. I may have picked the wrong model but I really don't think it makes much difference and if you are unhappy with the insulators then it is down to the modder not me. I make it clear in my description that I am not a modder myself and can only use what others kindly make available. Anyway most people seem to enjoy the videos....

This is excellent work. When I started work as a field engineer, I travelled around Shropshire daily and was fascinated by the remains of old infrastructure still visible. The line north of Bridgnorth of especial interest to me. You have given me the opportunity to experience it as close to how it was. Are you going to cover the line south to Hartlebury, and the lines through the wyre forest towards Ludlow? There is a branch line just after Ironbridge along Wenlock edge.

Thanks, the "experiencing it as it was" is what motivates me. I have done the current SVR and may release it, perhaps as it was in 1910, but there is so much KZfaq content for that railway, I am not sure if it is worth it.
