Illinois Railroad Museum W.I.P Thread

[petrama25]

Surprisingly, that's how it actually is on the prototype. The shed the tracks go through looks to be for trolleys or something like that.

Started on the new buildings. I am aiming to have animated doors soon.

I have redone the wheels and have started the pantos on the EF4

It is a trolley barn, Hence the sharp curves.

 

[chris2001trainz2010]

Oh, i get it now. Thanks.

 

[benjaminw]

Sure thing!:wave:

 

[nicky9499]

Those barns are off to a good start.

 

[petrama25]

Thanks
Skinned up a Metra F7A

Uh you should know that the Metra unit that's preserved at IRM is numbered 308 and 305(before its repainted into C&NW). But nice Skin.

The Project has a received major update!

The group has discussed it over and we are no longer only doing the Illinois Railroad Museum. The project has been extended to Chicago to Rockford, including IRM and other locations along the way. As well, a large extension down south towards Chamoaign, IL & the nearby Monticello Railway Museum.

Will include many custom locomotives, rollingstock, buildings, and time table based sessions.

As for what versions we're going to be making this for, we will be trying to make the route usable in TS09, TS10, TS12 (no SP), and of course TS12SP1. TANE compatibility is not of any priority, and is doubtful.

Further updates to come at a future time.

Cheers,
SM

I find it rather strange that you guys suddenly change your project them moment I change mine?

 

[trainman7616]

Are we not allowed to change our minds matt? We aint doin the exact same projects are we? Nope. You stick to yours and we will stick to ours. Thanks and have a good day.

 

[chris2001trainz2010]

For god sake, Matt, will you just STOP?

Why the hell does it matter if you are both doing the project? IT DOESN'T!

Matt, just because they change their project doesn't mean they're copying you! Stop asking if they're copying you and focus on your own work.

Geez, stop trolling Trainman's thread with your stupid paranoia. Go do that on your own time!

Couldn't have said it better....really annoying.
Anyway, a great project guys. Good luck with it and waiting for more updates

Thanks for the support guys

I have returned from a trip to IRM with many many things. I'll spare you the details, but we got in the cab of CSS 803. These are in 4K, which is way too big for the forums, so I'll just drop 2 images in here of stuff, but I'll confirm we are making a very special custom cab for 803! Not to mention a certain S3...

Looks like a very productive visit, glad you had fun!

Should be a lot of good pics to make textures from!

 

[trainman7616]

Motivation for 265 has been kicked into high gear LOL

 

[trainman7616]

Work on some custom tracks is looking really good now.

As for the snow version. Im more or less playing with snow meshes.
