Hello everybody,
it has been a while, but I finally managed to model the bridge I wanted my
Edelweiss train to run on.
So after cancelled trips, cruises and occasional lockdowns here it is.
While setting up this image, I thought that it might be nice to have Titanic
sail underneath. So I think I'll raise the Titanic (That sounds like a movie
title!), and see whether I can render her again.
Cheers
Ton.
By the way, for people who don't recognize this bridge, it is based of the Forth
Bridge, not far from Edinburgh, in Scotland.

Nicely done, sir! The Titanic becomes compulsory indeed.

Excellent modelling. :)
Remind me, do you use a modeller? (Probably not.)
I made a version of the Forth Rail Bridge using Moray.

Make sure the Titanic's pilot isn't distracted by Stephenson's Rocket and hits
an iceberg ;)

At one time, I would have needed to take off my socks and shoes to count the
number of times I crossed it, in a year.

Or the bridge!

About nine years we were living in West Yorkshire, and one of our UK trips was
our world tour of Scotland. We drove to Fort William. Spent two nights there,
and took the train to Mallaig and back. Then we drove via Loch Ness to Inverness
and Aviemore. Two nights there, and then on to Edinburgh, where we spent two
nights. On that trip we crossed the Forth on the road bridge (there was only
one, then), next to the rail bridge. I took some photos of the rail bridge then.
One of the memorable views in my life. A very impressive construction. So I
never crossed it, but I've seen it.
Cheers
Ton.

BTW I use kpovmodeler for modelling, to make sure everything fits.

[Train of thought] Could I rebuild the Rail Bridge in Blender, incorporating the
"Physics/collision" modifiers?
I might give that a go.

Years ago I did a similar trip in reverse, when we lived in Aberdeen, ending up
in Glasgow. It was very scenic. We stayed in a B&B and after we were checked out

can only see orange pillars and the Firth of Forth, if it is not raining. The
view from the Road Bridge is probably better. :)

Final image:
Forth Bridge
Edelweiss
Rocket
RMS Titanic
all in one.
The height of the masts of Titanic is about 200 feet above waterline. The
clearance of the bridge is 150 feet, so Titanic could never have sailed
underneath.
But in the POV world everything is possible....
Cheers
Ton.

Very nice indeed. Excellent modelling work. Hint: one thing missing is a
flying machine (whatever age, preferably before 1950).

What an incredible amount of modelling! Very nice work. Congratulations for
taking the time to do it right; worth the effort. I need to read your post from
the beginning, I missed it first time 'round.
> ...in the POV world everything is possible....
Indeed! And I'm *still* learning interesting ways to use its many tools.

Thanks Thomas.
I think I leave it as it is, time to move on new adventures. Your landscape is
nice, I have never done anything like that, so that will be a challenge for the
future. Might have a good look at Jacob van Ruisdaal voor motivation.
Cheers
Ton.
