Old thread, but I'm pretty sure all his stuff is on the DLS now... but I could be wrong.

Close call on the SJC! A freak storm toppled one of the twin steeple rocks almost closing the line. Hey!...You don't know... you weren't there.... It could've happened...lol

Thanks Phil. Yeah I thought they were variations of the SJC. Trainz is so "chuncky" you almost have to make it larger due to the grid. Even using 5 meter grid it's too blocky. I increased my version by 150%. 200%, it was no longer a model rr. Even at my 150% the tables would be too wide, Some...

Thank you!

Some mills simply used super elevated tracks to ... more / less... roll the logs off the car and into the mill pond. I know there's been talk about super elevated tracks for curves, but would somethin like this be possible in Trainz? If so, are ther any guides for making the track that could...

Thanks and the MR articles is what give me the idea. The structures on photo #2 were made for me by a good friend. They are from the Thunder Mesa series, San Lorenzo

Thanks!

I've always been a fan of Macolm Furlow and his San Juan Central. I bought his book in the 80's and was running trains on his SJC in my attic until I had to leave it behind due to a move. I've since been following Dave Meek and his Thunder Mesa Studio layouts. So I'm setting out to attempt to...

LOL... Especially the dude on the left...lol. Thanks Jim. Mom's 88, so kind'a expected. My wife is only 67, can't even stand, and tells me stories about things her and her husband (me) did in the past. Not exactly the retirement we planed for, but all you can do is play the cards we're all...

Thanks for the link Bob, but it's not that important. I just threw a line in the water to see if I got a bite. I have a wife and mom both suffering from Alzheimer's, so any serious learning will have to be put on the back burner. Too many distractions right now. Trainz just fills the gaps, but...

Oh yeah... @Shortline2 got me started in gmax years ago. I can make boxes look like buildings, but that's about it... If I attempted to make figures, they look like stick figures drawn with a Sharpie ...lol. I just thought I'd throw a feeler out to see if someone knew of a site that may have...

Seems odd... Being Trainz is international software, You would think someone would have made some old west type of Mexican figures. I'm thinking Clint Eastwood western Hombras...lol

Does anyone know of any traditional Mexican figures? Complete with poncho's sombreros, bandoliers etc...?"

Thank you for that reply. Every once in a while I'll post something, forgetting the old Trainz community is gone. Refresher well taken.
