Seth go into your Building pull out tab, go to the Spline button on Right side, look for Metropolis, Neighborhood, Large City, Etc,,,,,There is some different types of Splines to select for fast city building, what I would suggest, add a blank baseboard somewhere on your route, doesn't matter, then take the splines buildings and stretch them across blank baseboard. Use it as a blank area to put items down, like your own private work place....Delete the baseboard later when your done. Lots of Route builders will use blank baseboards to put certain items, textures etc to copy frequently used items so they don't have to look it up, and it's there so you can see how it looks on the board.....Hope this makes sense........
Great SETH glad it'll work for you, as for your 3 parter new area, that's kind of how I do it,
I have an idea in my head from something I've seen or read about, and decide somewhere on the Route, or even add new baseboards for expansion, then build a small section of what I think I want, and after a day or two, it starts to take shape, like some of the other Route Builders have said and I think quite true we have an idea simple, complicated whatever, but we never quite know how it's going to turn out in real time modeling and that's OK!
That's what makes it fun, to see what your creation yields and be open to change, else you'll frustrate the bee jeebers out of yourself, you can't always have what you want.
:wave: Keep up the good work and keep those Screen Shots a coming.
the track I'm using is actually a pack of track from Jointed Rail, it's freeware

Hey SETH, Thanks for the info on Track, I'll check it out, and like your new Yard completion PICS you posted today well done, scenery looks terrific.
My stupid Cell Phone Battery is dying and I find out my Phone itself is starting to paddle down river at alarming rate, only 2 yrs old and starting to fail! So I had to mess around today trying to find a replacement, fortunately between backed up files and what I could copy off it I'm good now, except the new replacement is 3-5 days out, inventory was sold out on the one I wanted........Guess I have to be patient HUH!
So I didn't get any chance to play on Kickstarter Route today, I'm shall we say Trainz deficient!
So where are r going next with your Route?
I just finished looking at this thread and you have certainly come a long with your route building. Nice job. In post #11 you stated that you improved the smoke. Would you explain how you did it? That smoke looks a lot better than the original. Thanks.
Hello SETH, looks great, I think add a couple of workers, and maybe some type of Trucks that transport Coil out of the Yard. And whatever Tools you'd expect to see around a place like this. Possible Forklift? Maybe some pieces of spare wood for the Coils? Hope that helps, others might have some better ideas, yard lighting?
SETH....Additions look great, as for Lights, I have to be honest here I'm not the best when it comes to lighting, Knowledge, but I did some looking around, and I see 2 possible lights for you to try, and your eyes will not deceive you.
Try "Light Small Wood" and "Light Parking" one has a different color of light contrast to the other.....Place one of each on the 2 corners of your facility, go into Night Mode time wise, and see which one you like best, delete one you don't and add maybe 2-3 just enough to give it light for night Loading's etc, also I know what else is needed, 1-2 Flatbed Semi Trucks to haul away Coil loads from the Cars, position them to your liking? Let me know how this works out, also maybe a small Diesel Fuel Tank or Propane Tank for the Forklifts, a the smallest propane Tank you can find.......And maybe a small Security Shed, Tiny, for a Guard in the Yard.......
Adding something more, possibly a Crate somewhere around the place with 2-4 Oil Barrels sitting, Oily Greasy like, It just seems to me it would right around this type of place?
Possibly some small weed growth near the Steel Roof Supports too.
Up to you of course.. whatever you think will work..
Oops...I just looked at your picture again, I see you have lights there already, did I misread something
?.......
