Northern Arizona Route

I agree that it fits in well with the colors of my route. By the way those paver stone sidewalks are from Spain Trainz Rutas. I used a type of shrub that re sizes every time you move it. It took quite a few tries to center the shrubs in the planter squares at the right size. It basically involved a lot of swearing before I got it right.
@kamran, thanks, ‘not sure what to say but maybe next time you could stop in to the El Rodeo Mexican restaurant and have a cool beverage. Virtual that is, and the chips and salsa are free.
@FREDO93, thank you, I appreciate your comments. I’ve enjoyed looking at the detailed and realistic screenshots that you’ve posted. They really have a painterly like quality to them.
@Bob Cass, thanks for the compliment.

Anything I do for your route, just let me know! I am firmly behind route creators such as yourself!
Thanks Euphod, I appreciate that. A couple of things that come to mind some better Route 66 signage for Holbrook, Winslow and Flagstaff. I’ll show a shot of a sign for Winslow. There are a number of pics of Arizona Historic Route 66 road signs on the net. Also some kind of Route 66 souvenir shop that is so common in towns on route 66. I know when I get to Flagstaff. I’ll have a bunch of things I’ll need.

You're welcome, and I made these too:
And I sent you an E Mail through the forum. Important!
Thank you kamran, I would call it "garish" myself!

Thanks again, they all look great. I really like all the signs! As far as garish, it’s all part of the look. Arizona and the southwest are overflowing with these tourist traps. Having these will really enhance the look of these towns on this route.
Euphod, did you mean a PM? I did not receive anything. The forum is very slow for me today.

You're welcome again. My question was would you prefer I hold this content from the DLS, and send you CDPs instead? I could wait to upload specific pieces to the DLS until the route is done. Your call.
And, no I sent you an E Mail. I'll have to try again, as I don't accept Mail or PMs.

Even though your creations are specific to locations on the AZ route I’m doing, I think in the spirit of the Trainz community I’d like others to be able to use them, if that’s ok with you. When they are up I have locations complete and ready to go now around Winslow. I’ll post screenshots after I get them. In the meantime I’m back to placing boards and tracks towards Flagstaff. I have a lot of work ahead of me.

I've been by that arts center 
That's generous of you Gordon, I also uploaded these for now. I'll get to more tourist trap buildings when I can, to go with the signs.
and I changed the Jack Rabbit sign due to a lack of a working alpha:
Feel free to post shots of anything specific you want, and I'll try my best to produce a reasonable facsimile.
Edit: I uploaded these On Sunday, I'm trying to make a variety of small, medium and large signs, and lighted billboards to allow you to build the "clutter" without using the same signs over and over. I also recommend you use CM to search the DLS for arrial's small collection of Dinosaurs, These will be used in conjunction with some of the tourist traps I have in mind. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about! Just use CM and type in Location DLS and then name "saur". Anyway:

I look forwards to downloading them. They’re really looking great. Does it usually take a few days to show up on the DSL?
Anyway I’m finally back to moving along with track work. I’ll be to Canyon Diablo by tonight. I’ll have months of scenery work to do just on the boards,
elevations and track I did this weekend.

Thanks; I know your goal here isn't to replicate Rt. 66 or route 40. I looked in Google maps and saw that the railroad veers away from the roads quite regularly. I did make the drive from San Diego to Chicago once, but the memories are faint. Just enough to ground the railroad in the area. I am also looking at some of the motels and hotels along the way.
Yes, the DLS takes awhile, yes it certainly does. The only reason I'm posting the thumbnails here is to bring them to your attention. I don't know if you follow me reskin thread regularly. If you would like me to not post them here, just let me know.

I uploaded this tonight, (larger pic on my thread) will also do all the signs on the property, and the ones around the ostrich pens, and the slightly higher wall for the right side. It's up to you to find the other pieces of garbage to make it look right!:hehe:
