VH-KDK Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Plenty of railway traffic as well as aircraft around Southampton International. 1. Overflying EGHI with an electric train probably on its way to Waterloo from Bournemouth. 2. The railway works at Eastleigh. Today it is just a maintenance facility. Between the 1920's and 50's it built many steam locos including the Southern Region Lord Nelson, Schools, U1 and the unusual Q1 classes. Later all of the Merchant Navy class along with some West Country and Battle of Britain steam engines were built here and 90 of them were rebuilt at Eastleigh in the late 50's. 3. That's more like it. Tangmere, a preserved Battle of Britain Class steams into Eastleigh on the Gosport and Fareham line. In its original form with streamlining it operates rail tours to this day. It was however built at Brighton. 4. Tangmere joining the mainline at Eastleigh with the Swan Shopping Centre dominating the scenery. Goats? With all those fields in along the River Itchen there has to be a goat somewhere! Many thanks in order to Lars and Martin for this wonderful airport and for all of the little extras that add to the realism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreaD Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Looks like a masterpiece. Quite impressive indeed, plus while you fly in England there are some added bonuses: for instance you need not model the sun, or blue skies ... wherever you look everything is uniformly gray ))))) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
