Work Crew on a lunch break as the train pulls in.

Passing the check point that alows the VIPs to enter the grounds in there cars.

Looking at one of the employed school buses to shuttle the people from the cras into the parking lot to the front gates.

Looking at the empty parking lot and the police on the ready to start directing the traffic

Now the locos run around to the side of the rest of the consist and get ready for a crew change and ready for the trip home once the cars get unloaded at the loading bay.

Yo! Cowboys have where to go:hehe:? Why? Because horses stand there so mean maybe you need change back to old time of steam like between 1700's to 1800's that old past time! :hehe: Mean you can't use new freights anymore so you need use the steams locos! (LOL)

Great idea gandalf, very impressed with the grandstand and race circuit, I didn't think you teenagers were interested in horse racing...:hehe:

Maybe someone can do a NASCAR circuit or Speedway, or something similar...

BTW, I didn't know there were horses already saddled-up on the DLS, or did you get them from somewhere else please ??

Thanks guys! Ex railway man,Im not ususally into horse racing however it is a part of the New Jersey Trainsit Coast line route that me and skiingiggy are working on,so thats mainly the reason why,Its there. However I did take A LOT of extra time to do it,still not fully done but its coming together.
Also I got those horses on the DLS they are supposed to be used in the old west etc. But I found that they blend well in this case.

 

[ex-railwayman]

Hi Gandalf, thanks, I'll have a look on the DLS for the horses, as they do blend very well into your scene, very authentic.....Keep up the great work guys.

Cheerz. Ex. :wave:

I was born and "reared" in NJ....and I know the taxes are high there. I would think they would be able to afford more ground textures than that. Ah well.....blame it on the casinos I guess.
