Awesome work Andy, I'm with Mike this is my new fav now and can't wait for it so keep up the great work.
Cheers Mick.:wave:
 
Thanks Guys! It's good to hear from you Mike, it's been a long time :)

@ Enzo - The lost Gevo would be ex-CSX G042 Loaded Unit Grain from Venice IL where several western grain trains converge for forwarding to CSX Evansville Howell Yard and thence to EVWR. OK, Union Pacific power would be more likely, but a 'lost' BNSF loco is not impossible.

Another look at that kitbash you all seem to like so much...

Overview of the south western part of SWMC, and yes, I do know the coal barge needs a tug, it is just 'plonked' there temporarily to remind me to do something with it...

Too bad we don't have very many river towboats. The only one I've seen is the Veerhaven (kuid [FONT=Verdana, Arial]222633:11000:1). Arjen gave me permission to reskin it, but it doesn't have a full skin, only a few colors can be changed on it and I can change the name boards on it, so I haven't done anything with it yet. Vulcan's tugs are great, but they just don't seem right for river service.

This is awesome Andy. Love that arial shot, I'm trying to work out where the main goes after it goes behind that white building on the left, is it a loop or something?

Perhaps a trip thru the google warehouse will provide something that can be used.

Yep, it loops around behind the big white building and crosses the central road (you can just make out the white posts at the crossing) and rejoins the start of the loop almost exactly at the rear of the train, you can follow a line of track-side shrubbery. Another line of trackside shrubbery heads off to the right from about the same place, crosses the river and head out-of-screen to the bulk coal loop...

Andy :)
 
Fantastic looking route! I really like the attention to detail! Can't wait to see the finished product! Could you tell me what grasses you are using, they look amazing! :D

Your right, I have seen some "lost" CSX, CP , BNSF, NS, units here too lol
 
Could you tell me what grasses you are using

Just three on the whole route (so far!) all DLS or Built-In:

Splines
FMA Instant Grass I - 149987:37017
FMA Instant Grass E - 149987:37013

Object
JVC(S11) Grass 'O' - 328583:10226
 
Not rare to see lost BNSF units here in Indianapolis. Use to see set of 2 at least every week. Even a BNSF with a UP. Nice shots Andy. Ill have to get Trainz 2010 or 12 when you release it. :)
 
Not a lot of detail here because it is so far from the tracks, in fact it's pretty much invisible from the cab if you run clockwise (as per prototype) through the unloader where 100 cars of CSX coal are presently being dumped...
