Scottish Country Station Kit Pitlochry Main Unit East Gable Tower
This set of modules can be used to make a slightly simplified version of the main station building at Pitlochry (on the
Highland Line between Perth and Inverness) or selected and combined to make a freelance building of your own (the parts
could make a village school as well as a station).
The Gable Tower sits asymmetrically on the Main Unit East, rather than centrally between the two main units, and is the only
item where I've departed radically from the station's present condition by reinstating double windows matching all the rest
rather than the large picture window which is obviously a comparatively recent addition (it's visible in John Hume's 1977 shot available on the Canmore site on the web). I'll add a picture window verion later if anyone needs a contemporary version . If you are building a station on my dedicated platform spline, then you'll need to raise it by one whole unit in game. You can find pictures and information on how the units fit together in my 'Buildingz frae Scotland' thread in the 'Freeware Announcements' sub-section of the 'Workshops - Your Creations' area of the Trainz Discussion Forums.
Please note that the asset may need turning to match the other items, as its lighting and shadow state have been preset by
my choice of the Pevsoft exporter, which behaves slightly differently to the inbuilt Trainz Asset Creation Suite version.
I've chosen it, together with the Images2TGA programme, because it allows me to use normal mapping with Gmax, a definite
advantage in representing stone and tile textures, so the directional straitjacket is but a small price to pay for the added
character.
Many thanks once again to Peter Villaume for his continued work and help.
