The final location of the shelter is still to be confirmed – it has changed with the ebb and flow (I believe it is called ‘design development’ in the 1950s area), but we shall progress completion of the kit of parts this summer, then ideally look at installing it ahead of the more inclement autumn/winter season later in the year – when once again a Darlington bus can call at the stop! The guttering components are on the wrapped pallet to the right.īelow: The roof structure looks a little less daunting on the ground! However, there is a lot of fiddly painting work required as the next stage, and I also wonder about a net inside to discourage birds nesting within the shelter once it is erected. Only once of these had survived, in very poor condition but fortunately intact enough to enable copies to be made. The components were donated to the museum in 1972, and were probably already in pieces before then, so it is appropriate that half a century later, it is now reaching the stage where it can shelter waiting bus passengers from the elements once again!īelow: Without the glazing in place, lifting the roof structure is relatively easy – the glazing will be installed once the shelter has been erected, but the measurements have been made by the supplier in readiness for this work in due course.īelow: The restored columns, some of which act to discharge water from the guttering to the street surface, are seen here, along with the replica brackets to support the roof structure. It is now over to the museum teams to paint the shelter components, and erect it on a suitable base at Beamish later this year.īelow: The size of the shelter is quite surprising, when we’ve been so used to seeing it in component parts up until now! I don’t know when it was dismantled, but is has been so for at least fifty years, and probably longer. The work to date has been carried out by North Bay Railway Engineering Services, appropriately located in Darlington. Expect a final release date to be shared soon.The restoration of the Darlington Corporation bus shelter took another important step forward with the arrival of the restored structure at Beamish last Friday. Shelter 3 was originally due to launch on Steam at the start of the year, but that's now been pushed back slightly to some time in March. "Motherhood, social harmony and inheritance are the keys to prosperity", says Might and Delight.
#Shelter 3 part1 series
Shelter 3 notably moves away from the somewhat solitary nature of previous games in the series to offer a more communal focus, exploring how elephants work together - their social and hierarchical behaviours - and the trials of herd life. As an elephant you're not a predator but prey, so you'll need to steer clear of beasts in the bushes at the same time as avoiding starvation.Your journey will be scattered with special moments as you discover new terrain and untrodden pathways, but grief will also play its part." Shelter 3 gameplay trailer.
"You'll use ancient knowledge to navigate, gaining wisdom as you do so. "Help the matriarch by choosing the best route to keep your herd well fed and safe from harm," explains Might and Delight. You'll find some of that in Shelter 3's first gameplay trailer below. Here, though, the journey leads your herd across the savannah, on the hunt for new pastures while avoiding natural dangers, including crocodiles and tigers. Developer Might and Delight has shared a first gameplay trailer of Shelter 3, the latest entry in its long-running open-world nature series, which this time casts players as a mother elephant who must protect her calf, and indeed the entire herd, from harm.ĭespite the change in animal (Shelter 2 followed the adventures of a lynx and her cubs, while the first game starred a family of badgers), Shelter 3 offers a similar structure to its predecessors, blending open-world exploration and survival.
