This is a single baseboard diorama of the well known Classic Windmill landmark from the first season. It has appeared in every single Classic Series Intro, excluding Season 6, in which footage from the Season 3 finale celebrating Christmas (UK) / Thanksgiving (US) was used instead. This windmill is located near Dryaw.

ZA3D - Freelance Allusion

Ever wanted to test your speed on locos? Here is the perfect route for it. The track is made to last forever. It's like playing with trains. I might do another one in the future.


ZA3D - Neville's Bridge (S9)

Here is a one-baseboard layout of Neville's Bridge from Season 9. The Bluebell Branchline runs over the Main Line with this bridge. It got it's name when Neville nearly fell off the collapsed bridge onto the rails below and Thomas had to rescue him. It features the bridge itself and some extras.

Report any problems to me on the forum or on DeviantART! I will see what I can do!


ZA3D - Kirk Ronan (S5)

Here is a six-baseboard layout of Kirk Ronan and it's surroundings, which only appeared in the fifth season. Following the amalgamation of the Sudrian railways into the North Western Railway in 1915, the line to Kirk Ronan was demoted to branch line status. In 1920 the NWR started daily sailings to Dublin from here and had enough success to disturb the LMS. Sailings to Dublin still continue, but following the Agreement of 1925, they are on Tuesdays and Fridays, as a local service only.

THIS DIROAMA FEATURES:

  • Kirk Ronan Station
  • Nearby Relief Siding
  • Standard and Narrow Gauge Tunnel Runby

Have fun!

  • The Roundhouse itself, with seven berths, modelled by myself!
  • Left Half of the yard from the Classics
  • Right Half of the yard from the CGI Arc Era

Transitions (Season 1)

Here is a one-baseboard layout of the iconic character closeup shot from Season 1, with the hill moving in the background! I've added invisible track and extra road on both sides of the transition diorama so you can control the speed of the motion of the hills. Please note that this requires the Flying Cam asset in your Content Manager in order to properly utilize this diorama.

THIS DIROAMA FEATURES:

  • Railway Line Transition
  • Road Transition
  • Extra scenery on both sides for decoration purpose
  • Looks like a model of the original transition layout just without people and water is instead used
