Thank you!
Slowly slowly slowly... kinda nice to build something small other than a large mainline route. Can finally start really working out details for once...

Ahhh... finally. Finals are over, and now it's winter break + Christmas in less than a week! I will be building this little mini-route quite a bit over this weekend and putting it up for download on my site. I'll announce it here when I've actually released it.
Currently at 3 baseboards on this and I don't think I'll increase size of it. Just a small route to kind of do whatever on. I guess it's like a kind of route starter or whatever. Eh, besides, I'm really pleased with it. I'm inclined to say it's my best work yet.
Also: oh my god the series finale for the Legend of Korra I can't even right now that was too amazing oh my god why did it have to be the series finale and not a season finale oh my god

Hmm.. so I hear Pofig's trees aren't gonna work in T:ANE, and I'm pretty sure every single tree-item I use is a Pofig tree. Shoot.... I wonder if we'll see an upgrade for them to work in T:ANE since, after all, these trees I use are my favourites.
Well, we'll see what happens then.
Hm.. is it just me, or does the actual number of posts within this topic have an error in them? In the general screenshots area it says 81, but in the topic, 82 (well, 82 & 83 respectively as of this post but still). Weird.

That is a cool reskin of the CR unit! I like how just the circle part is removed! Well, back to work on my bad track NS industrial, "The Bad Track Road"

Looks good, you guys aren't swapping locos back and forth to skin though, are you?

O man, what you do to that cr unit, nice job on the patches, keep up the good work, :wave:
No worries, mate! I didn't even know about those skins 'till right now. And they look pretty good, it's gotta be said. Especially that green unit, it just works so well. Great stuff, Judah!

Well, I suppose we have new little route to run some of that SLRR stuff on 
I finished a version 1.0 of this route I have finally labled "Silver Lines Overgrown Tracks" as just a simple caption. And that's what it is - overgrown tracks with a hint of mainline tracks (those tracks being the bridges seen above). The route additionally features a lumber yard (no industry function) and roadway. The tracks cross over a river and go under two bridges of mainline tracks before arriving at the lumber yard. The route is 3 baseboards long.
The route is free to download on my website - link in my signature.
Pics!
The route features no sessions, locomotives, rollingstock, or signaling. All locos/rollingstock in the pics above have been removed.
This is version 1.0 of the route - expect small problems!
Additional Info: For those running TS12, you'll want to change the build in the config from 3.8 to 3.7 - discovered this when I released the model rr route earlier.
Also, a v1.1 of the Northborough Model Railroad has been released underneath the original file.
That's about it! If you have questions/concerns, post them here or PM me.

Last SLRR loco reskins for now... couple more patches
No. 122 and No. 3000

I suppose I need to set up an actual locomotive roster at some point... haha, one day.
Well, with that last route done for now, I can finally drop back onto the Silver Lines Midwest for a little while. I have ideas now. I've actually been thinking that if I were to remove payware stuff from it and whatnot, I might release this route. Obviously removing payware items and I might have to see how JR feels about the MWG yard being thrown into it.. but it's a possibility. We'll see!
I went ahead and destroyed the coal mine area. I don't like it - just doesn't fit ('tis also payware stuff). Now, I have no clue what to do with this area. Any ideas..?
I also just threw this together.
Banner taken from my freeware release page, but now on a billboard. Thoughts? Original billboard is by 2Wayne. Really awesome billboards from him!
Also, I finally went back and fixed this a bit. It's bigger overall, but I might tone down the black stripes. Better than before, though.
Actual route progress at some point later, but for now, just these little things. Still a lot to do here. I'm thinking maybe replace the area with the coal mine with the town of Northborough, maybe? Afterall, that is what the train yard is named after...
We'll see..

Skins made from JR KCS ES44AC, JR CSX F40PH, and JR CITX SD40-2
Gotta lighten up that stripe on the F40, lots of other things, too...
just basics now.

Wow, you're quick to skin up that stuff... How do you do it so fast? Is there some kind of replace colour option I'm missing or something, since, wow, that's fast. Looks pretty good though! Only thing they lack is a grey cab and some more black stripes...
Meanwhile I've only somewhat finished this side of the SD60M and can never find the care to actually finish it..
I swear this'll never be finished. Ever..
