hi just wondering if anyone would be willing to post a few screen shots of the Nec that came along with TS12. im interested to see what 30th street station looks like as well as the track track arrangement on both ends of the station.

Thanks :)
 
same here with me, im supposed to be getting mines this weekend so I'll post as much as I can

Passing through ARSENAL interlocking. The SEPTA Westchester branch curves off to the right to meet the Octoraro

Not the distance limitation isn't as pronounced as it was in TS2010

Outside Wilmington, Delaware, approaching Bell interlocking

Just outside of Wilmington, the Shellpot branch splits off

If you mean the flying crossover, yes, there is one, though it actually goes the other way; towards Wilmington, it goes from the second track closest to 495 to the outer track by the bay. It was used to allow freights to and from the Shellpot Secondary access to the inner tracks of the corridor.
 
Wow! Very nice pictures, thank you for posting them. The 495 shot is indeed nice. If those were the shots posted instead of what was in Auran's ad, I would have preordered.
 
yeah thats my thought that is why i was wondering what it really looked like, im from Philly, Pa and i know the track layout for the most part. i did see in Aurans screen shots that the PRR Highline is there. not sure how much of it though. and since this is only Wilmington To Philadelphia not sure if Zoo interlocking is there either
 
Is the Wilmington Flyover just past "Bell" detailed accurately ?
Please post a screenshot of that, and other interesting places, please.:cool:

Is the route just from 30th St to Wilmington ? Who created this great route ?

Edit: I see a brick retainilng wall wher none exists in real life, Concrete_Bank_Spline would better depict the flyover embankment. I use it throughout my Horseshoe route, and especially in Johnstown for flood control canals. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2773/5704784773_086787b8f3_b.jpg

i swear i have to give the guy who made this route the most credit because when it comes down to putting the tracks in the right order he did it right, I just hope the septa stations are in place like 30 street station
