Lakota Line

[SemperFy]

Hello everyone. This is my current route I'm working on, and am in just the beginning. I didn't put in too much detail yet, and am still laying down my main line.

Heres a look at the Lakota Hills Coal Yard:

This is a small section of track outside of the coal yard. These freight cars are currently waiting to be picked up and taken to the Lakota Freight Yard on the other side of the river:

Looks like a good start. Just one suggestion,if you can change the track . Other than that its a great start,beleve me it will come together.As my route started started the same and still looks empty.

 

[SemperFy]

Right, the track.

I usually use the U.S Fabricated, but I don't like it too much anymore..

Any tips from the DLS?

 

[Gandalf0444]

If its in the U.S. I would suggest the concrete(sp?) track thats what Im using for my route.(Its built in and its easy on framerates.
Edit: or try this 98193:10660,98193:10663,98193:10674,98193:10665 or try the creator Betriebsleiter

For US try US Mainline and the other series of tracks by sg1. look up US in the track section and you will be amazed.
or try MP Wood and the other from Hp-Trainz. Thats low-poly. i use it a lot.

That coal line is cool

 

[SemperFy]

Thanks for the replies, and I'll check out those tracks.

Lol, Jper...

Im going to take out that small oil field in the background, as it doesn't make any sense there...

I got some more screen shots. They're more of the same, but I put in the new track and a small container depot.

I replaced the wood tracks in the coal dump with tracks with no gravel:

Finally, another shot of the bridge over going the river. Two different trains hauling freight north and southbound:

Also, I noticed that the coal dump branching off looks unappealing with the no gravel tracks, so I replaced the beggining of the switch with the mainline track.

Are those container cars industry active? If so where did you get them. Lookin better,espicelly the tracks.

 

[titaniclover]

the track are i think US Yard New by sg1.

[SemperFy]

Yea, they can be loaded.

Search TTX on the DLS.

The ones in the screen shot are TTX Husky 53.... Or something of the sort.
