Norfolk Southern Murphy Branch (Large Pics)

Ah, yeah, thanks, they did resemble UltraTreez but are different from the ones I have. These must be payware or are included in TS12.
 
They aren't payware so they must either be 12 built-in or something I've got off the DLS at some point or another. I may end up replacing them, they are really native to the Great Smokies, but I liked the way they looked.
 
I have got some work done today, but it seems like it's going to be back to Android land for my Mobile Application Development class that has consumed my life. Most of the work I got done today and yesterday has been setting the grade and assembling grade crossings. I also ran a test run from Lake Junaluska to Sylva. This is the part of the route where the grade is set, and it took an hour and twenty-five minutes non-stop. I don't have any great pictures to show you guys but I figured I'd update my progress before getting consumed in school work.
 
It's been a while but I have got a little work done. I've had a ton of school work and more than a few set backs. I have replaced the SAM track I was using with USLW's new 132lb track. I have also grassed a lot more of the route.

One of my favorite locations in this area. NS P59 rolls across Skyland Rd. near Haywood, N.C., not to be confused with Skyland Dr. near Sylva.

Bridge four, now.


I will continue to work on these areas as I find time, as well as the rest of the route. I also will update this post with some pics of the real P59 crossing bridges one and two from last Tuesday. I would post them now, but I have lost the card containing them :/.

Also if you guys are interested in a live Trainz video stream, I have one up at http://www.ustream.tv/channel/trainz-12. The channel is live periodically as I find time to leave my computer idle. It should be up tonight, but I can't promise too much for tomorrow.

A railfans dream. NS 135 heads under Russel Interlocking while NS P31 heads out onto the Murphy Branch.

I was working on the interchange with I-26, I-240, and Patton Avenue when I got bored. So I made up a little scene. I assume that this is what it looked while it was under construction.​
 
This is looking great, now is this route Trainz12 only or will you be able to play it on Trainz10? And that DEM is it of the Murphy Branch and if so where could I get it? Thanks for sharing and keep up the work.
 
In the state you see it here, it's 12 only, but have replaced all of the trees with PoFig's speedtreez(pics soon) which should be compatible with 10's SP3. And as for the DEM, I cooked it up myself.
