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

Hey Guys! The Cross Harbor route is a work in progress. You can see how he's doing on YT... Should be quite something. Best, smyers PS Thx Piere. With the small brush sizes you can actually paint individual cobblestones!

Trying another switching module with Trainz22+. Mostly street running, inspired by Approach Medium's Cross Harbor route... The dilapidated streets would much harder, if not impossible, in earlier versions. Street damage assets by TheFue. Best, smyers

Thanks for all the tips, pware. It's actually going much better with a new route rather than rescuing an older one. Here's a look at a WIP route inspired by Approach Medium's ongoing Cross Harbor effort which also features much street running... There are only 4 street textures here, but the...
