Just a Test. I'll try using the Trainz gallery... ...now that Imgur is blocked in some areas as politicians play mommy. Does this work? Best, smyers

Hey Piere old friend, what is the 101 seen above. Looks like a 2-6-6-0 of some type. Nany Thanks, smyers

Many thanks for your kind comments, friends. Here's a couple more shots... ...and, are you ready? This is the whole thing, When I said tiny, I wasn't kidding! Best, smyers

OK, well, just for jollies, here's my "Docksider" route, really a just very tiny switching module designed specifically for Ben Neal's outstanding Docksider engine series... featuring some very tight radii, gnarled trackwork, short runs, 5 mph or less, and 3 or 4 sidings for switching. Enough...

K&L has a few older examples. Their freeware PRR A5 0-4-0 is still my fav K&L. Also, Ben Neal has put some fabulous examples on the DLS. Search Author bdaneal. smyers https://kltrainz.com/

A couple of WIP routes with Dinorius_Redundicus's new Background_city assets... These work really well, and will add quite a bit of depth to your urban scenes without using tons of 3D assets. Many Thanks! smyers

Just a couple more of this switching module. A5 idles on the frozen foods siding while docksider finishes it's setouts... Hoppers are just "ghost" cars that are in the inbound consist to make switching moves more challenging, which they do. They'll go back to the interchange... Best, smyers

Marc, the East Harbor Terminal tender is a re-letter by yours truly. It's not up at Trainz Forge. Best, smyers

A couple more of this miniscule switching module. Marginal coaling facility, though they can head to the (off layout) roundhouse if need be... Switching assignments can be a challenge depending on how the inbound cars are arranged... Best, smyers

Well, I've expanded this tiny WIP switching module a bit to allow for two locomotive operation. Thanks to Rob Gunstone's Ewe... That's the whole thing, still very tiny, just to showcase some of the excellent switchers we have from Ben Neal, trainboi1, K&L and so on. Best, smyers

You're sure right about that, Piere. Here's the trainboi1 UP S-6... ...and this one is free!! Best, smyers

Thanks to MSGSapper for much of the high quality garbage and industrial scrap and junk machinery. It makes this kind of thing possible. Best, smyers

OK well, here's the antithesis of some of these massive projects, a tiny WIP urban switching module. This is it!... The trackplan was inspired by the "Warehouse Alley" HO scale switching module designed by Late Night Model Railroad (YT). Tiny it is, but it lets me run my favorite 0-4-0s and...

Merry Christmas and New Years, Claus old friend. smyers
