Help Building a Tourist Railway Route

[JCitron]

Are there any of these on the DLS that I could get?

There might be some, but I made a couple myself which were just for my own use.

I took a small industrial switcher, changed it from a type train to a scenery item. The process then required removing all the stuff related to it being a locomotive because it wasn't accepted in the scenery item. Try fiddling and removing the stuff from the config.txt file. Once that was done, I changed the bogies to scenery kind and was able to see these assets under scenery items, which I then placed. It took some fiddling to get the engine body positioned properly on the already adjusted bogies, but it was worth it. I then found some steps and put those down next to the loco so it looked like one of those poor old engines that's been painted up and then stuffed for people too oogle at on their while on a bike trail, which was once a 4-track mainline with double crossovers, and many passing sidings.

Did you have an outside braced wood boxcar, and a wood caboose that's now a visitor's center? Don't forget the depot that's now an ice-cream stand!

I took a caboose and made that a restaurant and had that on a spur of fake track. The visitor's center is a good idea....

Back in the early 1960s, during its early years of operation, Cass Scenic Railroad used an old C&O diner car that was tied-down on a siding near the depot as a restaurant. Currently, in Oak Hill, WV, a few miles from the New River Gorge, an old Southern Railway bay-window caboose that's tied-down on the track behind the depot is used as a ice cream stand during the summer months; on the loading platform of the depot, there's usually a few bicycles lined up, as visitors can rent bikes at the depot to ride the rails-to-trail route that used to lead to two coal mines located a few miles out of town.

The Waters and West Point is no more. It just was too big for me to finish and has been deleted from the Content Manager. I've got a few saved as .cdp files, but it's unknown whether they will ever be completed and released.

See this is when I get stumped, because I have NO talent in the content modification department, I found one that someone had made by making an LMS Coronation Class into a piece of rolling stock and it works beautifully.
I would like to be able to find stuff like that, so I can still move them, but have them have no sounds, no lights, and no ability to move on their own.
Thanks!
