Driver shots and recolored tracks!
Just a quick little update. I recolored the surface tracks since they were too bright--I finally got them to the right shade and they look better than they did before!
Also, a quick shot of 135 St and Lenox. Work has been kicking my @$$ this week, so that planned Lenox-Bronx tunnel construction is still pending.
February 13 Service changes include:
(2) extended to 135 St, full time. Late nights, it'll run local with the (1).
(3) implemented as an express between 96 and 14 Sts, weekdays from 6am-Midnight. Late nights, it'll still run in Brooklyn. The (4) will turn at Atlantic Av (not shown). Express tracks on 7 Av-Bway will be used as storage tracks until I complete Harlem-Lenox Yard.
I've also included some in-game shots while in Driver mode on the (1).

Sweet pics! What are the tracks you used for this pic?Just a quick little update. I recolored the surface tracks since they were too bright--I finally got them to the right shade and they look better than they did before!

@Adam: Thanks
@Susanaes: Thanks for the reminder :] The station info I have (almost) always shows platform length, so I'm sure for 11-car trains it'll be longer.
@NYCBoy: The tracks are the NYCTA Surface Tracks that haven't been released yet. I had to tweak the color to get it right--I'm also looking at other parts of the system in Google Earth and various photos to see if there are any other ballast colors that are needed. I figure there are maybe one or two other ballast colors on the system, so I'll replicate those and then release a mini-package of those surface tracks. Right now, Samplaire has really amazing tracks to use (they also come in low-poly versions), if you'd like to substitute and get amazing realism. Problem is that they don't have a third rail.
@Jamal: I use the AJS Invisible stations. Because the invisible platforms on the 2T, 4T, 6T and 8T are too wide for the NYCTA stations, I only use the 1T invisible station for all of my stations. It's a PITA for anything that has more than 2 platforms, but it gets the job done. Now that B has praised the goodness of the Ruby TMIX exporter, it'll be easier for me to edit the station platforms and widen them so all the AJS stations can fit on them.
By the way--does anybody know if there are any other invisible stations besides AJS?

That's one of Samplaire's Ballast textures. I forget which it is (as in the name), as I'm not at my Trainz PC at the moment.
More photo evidence later, but here's the updated system map.

You are correct. I just finished the track work up to 242 St. I will build the 240 St yard later on today and have some pictures tonight.
So the completed lines are:
, 42 St
75% done:
(Bronx el needed)
60% done:
(Bronx el needed)
10% done:
Yards completed: 239 St (2), Unionport/E 180 (2)(5), 137 St (1), Harlem (3)
Yards TBF (to be finished): 240 St (1), Jerome (4), Westchester (6), Livonia (3), Corona (7)

@Fooly: Challenge accepted. Be prepared.
@Susanaes: I don't know if there'll be a way to backdate the TS12 route for older versions. I'm not saying it can't be done, nor am I saying that I won't do it--I just don't know if it's possible. I've tried before, but it didn't work--this is probably because I had no idea what the hell I was doing. :hehe: I'll research the matter more thoroughly and get back to you on it. If I do decide to backdate, I'm only going backdate to TS10, as going back to 09 will push that hardware well past its max.
