Everthing Steam (Warning Large Pics)

Andrew...you appear to be doing something wrong with the links for those shots. That url stuff should not be appearing to the left of the screenshots.

A pair of NYC Mikados pull some empty coal hoppers along the Hudson...

SAR 400-class Garratt

SAR Garratt on the Krashnburne Railroad:

The 400-class was purchased by the South Australian Railways to haul mineral concentrates on the narrow gauge line between the mines at Broken Hill and Port Pirie.

They were designed to be easily convertible to standard gauge, but were replaced by diesels before this occurred.

Another old British Rail steamer.

Schools Class, “Harrow”, passing some of the old Mk1, “Blood & Custard”, carriages in an old shunting yard.

Thanks for your kind comment


It’s great to be able to re-live those 1950’s days of steam once again through Trainz.


Here’s a shot of Defiant.

Casper,

Your first shot, post #1208, is by far one of the most beautiful and realistic screens of Trainz I have ever seen, and in TRS2004 nonetheless! Keep 'em coming, you have truly blown me away.

Hello Carfreak4.

Thank you for your kind words.

For me, the real thanks and praise must go to the asset creators. I cannot imagine the amount of tireless hours that must be spent perfecting such great work. All that we Surveyors have to do is download the items and re-arrange them.

Auran did a pretty good job too, in creating the software!

I still use an old version – but that suits me fine. I’m sure later versions are just as creative.

I simply enjoy seeing what can be done with Trainz. My Italian and UK efforts are as accurate as I can get them, but I also have some smaller routes where I just like to play around with the assets, particularly some of the eastern European stuff. They seem to be the masters of creating beautifully textured rolling stock and trackside items. The rustier and grubbier the better!

Then there is the old derelict stuff and vegetation which is indispensible for littering yards and trying to get that extra bit of realism.

There are far too many great creators to mention individually. Praise needs to be heaped upon them in huge volumes. Trainz is unlikely to prosper without their magnificent and continued input.

Here’s an old, about to be scrapped, PKP steam loco in a yard with all sorts of assets from various countries.

Cheers
Casper
