CP Tuna Sub

Two days ago, I got bored. I was suffering problems with the subway pieces by Magicland, and so I've post-poned the project. Instead, I've decided to do something easier. Please welcome: The CP Tuna Sub!! Opened in 1987, this sub commonly sees CP and CN freight trains, and sometimes Interacts with Conrail. Amtrak stops a the stations along the line. Welton County will probably come after this. This route uses my Canada region, which will, hopefully, be avaible from the DLS in a few days. Just some progress shots...if you see poor track-laying skills, please keep your thoughts to yourself...the track will be perfect when the route is done. As for the yard you see here, the tracks are unstraight due to bad maintenance, so if a train derails, you can blame the driver for going too fast. :hehe:

Enough chatter, time for some pics!

Texturing will be done last.

Please post your comments and suggestions (constructive criticsm only, criticism is NOT accepted!)

I feel for that poor sheep getting lost in the tunnel.

Good start Freightcar2, early progress but hope to see the end result soon.
 
Thank you Colhad. :)

You're right about the sheep, I shouldn't have switched to wire frame mode to take the picture. I'm 90% sure someone else is going to make the very same comment. :hehe:

More pictures should be up today or tomorrow...I'm having fun with this...and watching the cars on Maddy's YARN highways.:D

:wave:

So, will the Premium/extended version of the route be the CP Albacore Sub? Or maybe Conrail used to have an adjacent Meatball Sub which CSX mothballed? :p

Good start so far, looking forward to more developments. I might recommend using different people, though; those planar people look odd next to the 3d crewmen/station attendants. :wave:
 
LOL Ferrous, I don't know about the CP Albacore Sub, since I'm keeping this route strictly "Tuna":hehe:, but I do know that Conrail was once a regular on this sub, like CN. The Conrails were voted off the sub in 1992, and so Conrails are now rare to see. :'(

I might change those planar people to 3d objects later, but what about the colourful waitress? I don't know of another waitress on the DLS that looks as good as this one. :confused:

I will get more pics up soon. :wave:
 
Is good

Thanks :D

Here's some more shots. I've started texturing Ghost Valley, so I don't loose my idea, but I took no picture of it. Next time.

This part of the sub is famous for its derailments. Because of this, crash barriers were added in 1995, but I'm not sure that will help. There have been derailments since then anyway. :hehe:

After a day of hard work, school buses are cleaned and washed and are prepared for the next day.

I'm having fun with this, so expect more screenshots soon!! :Y:

Very niec, may I ask where you got that highway kit, like its kuid?

Also, ur track laying skills look fine, only a few tweaks on switches but as you said it is not done, so Ill save my breath. Do they really have gaurd rails, I'd like to see that in real life?

Hi Davis,

the Highway is part of Maddy25's YARN road network kit. Here's the link to the thread: http://forums.auran.com/trainz/showthread.php?t=30160

Which guard rail are you talking about? If you mean the crash barriers near the part I said is famous for its derailment, it's a newer piece of Maddy25's YARN Road Network Kit. They don't have those in real life, but keep in mind that this sub is not real !!! :hehe:

:wave:

Ghost Valley

Here's a peek at Ghost Valley. The landscaping needs some adjustments, but here it is so far.

Very cool, I like it. So I guess Trains really do exsist on other planets, at least some survived impact:hehe:

Okay, you should right a novel on this. This chapter could be called "Burnt Tuna" because that hole is so charred :hehe:
