Hello All; By golly, I think I've planted the last dang bush!!!! I present to you the bushes of Upper Musquodoboit (the end of the line). Now all I gotta do is all the rest of the work! Dark green will be forest, light green with bushes will get grass and light green will become farms with a few more textures swirled in. I may have used more JVC-(ST-1) Shurbs 1b than the rest of you trainzers combined! Thanks J (don't have your name in front of me at the moment), I really made a pig out of myself with your shrubs! Don't mind the mess on the other side of the road, just picking out what I'm going to use over there.
Well D, you're right! I have to put the plow on the ATV and get rid of some of it in a few minutes. If it starts raining, and then freezes, it will be impossible to get rid of it. The wife will have to skate to the shop! That's it for today, finished the bush work and thankfully the power stayed on.
Later folks .... Rick
Hi Vuk; This is my second try at the same route. It will never be worthy of uploading to the site. I think the most embarrassing part is the track work. Although this used to be in the area where I live, I know very little about it. I'm trying to just capture the feel of the late 1950s in Nova Scotia. Poor folks still living off the land and sea. I have no idea of what most of the communities or small rail yards looked like. So, it has become more fiction than truth. About this time the roads were finally good enough that the railroad was becoming less important.
I have no real skills! What you see is the work of a guy who bought the sim, then while waiting for that to arrive, read about TransDEM and ordered that. Somehow I figured out enough about TransDEM to make the map, and went at it! I've just been learning on the job. Honestly, it's been 2 or 3 days since I learned you can lower items by fives (5 units of what I'm not sure!). Before that, I thought you could only do it by tens. I learned this when one of my fingers slipped off the "Ctrl" key! I wish I could do the great work so many others can. For now, I would never embarrass myself or upload something not worthy of being in the DLS. I'm sort of just showing you what a "normal" unskilled guy can do! So, if you're like me and want to try building a route, just go for it!
Cheers .... Rick
