lego207's Work/Silver Lines

[judahGrice]

The blue cab was intentional on the F40PH. I am going to redo the ES44, as i am not happy how it came out. F40 needs work, but it's good. I gotta skin some PAX cars. For the reskinning thing look on youtube for user BNSF1238 and videoRe skinning Tutorial Revamped

Interesting... I'll experiment with it soon.. thanks for the tip, though!

Stuff!

The lack of signal makes it seem like a crash is imminent.. I should totally add signals.

But I don't really know how they work all that much, plus also I don't really know how to fit in signals to be more prototypical. Something to look into, for sure.
tl;dr I dont know how to into signaling.
Also, quick question for anyone who knows, I read in the config of some JR freeware stuff (engine shed, tower, etc) that items can be uploaded to DLS as long as credit is given to original authors - does the same go for websites? Been thinking about throwing a thing or two on my site that fit the SLRR stuff, but are originally from JR. So if anyone knows a thing of it, I'd be grateful for some light to be shed on that.

Anyways, aerial shot for no real reason. First real high-up shot.

Cheers,

Good idea, I'll see if I can give you a hand or two with explaining it. A forum post doing it here would take hours to read, so I think I will make a short how to guide on doing it.

I don't use signals either! I tried to find a tutorial but they were all confusing.

That would be magnificent and much appreciated! I'd love to make this route as best as I can, and this would help greatly.

Well, it's freezing cold out here. School closed today because the highest temp. we're gonna see is 3F, which happens to be the exact temperature outside right now. Tomorrow at 6AM we will see -11F weather. I think another day off will happen.
Not even including wind chill, as well. Only goes downhill from here.

Just made these. I love my aerial shots now.

Cheers,

[lego207]

I wasn't wrong.
Currently snowing outside, phone tells me that with wind chill it is a lovely -11F outside. It's 4 PM here. Judging from what I can see, it's apparently going to be 7-3F for most of tomorrow, not including windchill. Potentially a third cold-day off. Also there's snow. Lotsa snow. I hate snow.

Introducing Northborough a little bit here. I'm finally developing it in the route a somewhat. So, that'll be fun. Another aerial shot, as well.

Cheers,
SM

Back and forth between SL routes..

Silver Lines caboose! Bit of a red outline to all the text still, which should be an easy fix. Thanks to @judahGrice for that video search on reskinning. Helped quite a bit with this. Although, the caboose still feels a bit more white than the Silver Lines grey, it still looks good, I think.

This might be kind of a dumb question but does anyone know where to get those tall weeds from????? Are they 3rd party, or built-in??? Because I was thinking about putting those on my own route(s) and I can't seem to find them in TS12. Am I not looking hard enough????

Thanks in advance!!!

Search "Grazzy" on Jointedrail.

Thanks lego207. Even though I downloaded them right after reading Meowrailroad's post yesterday, I forgot to mention. Thanks again!!!

Ah, well, Grazzy Grass is some great stuff. Only need some smaller splines of A and B ones...

Speaking of Grazzy, I went back to the starting area of the SLM and started adding grass around the track for some good looks and help cover up the area a bit. In addition, removing trains that don't need to be there.
Still going to remove some of that ballast texture in these areas, but for now adding some grass is a good step into updating older sections of the route.
Side Note: Some of the turnout frogs are a bit out of place due to moving the track around, that's been fixed seen I took these pictures..

That is so beautiful. A night mode with a relay box with a small light, the sound of crickets, would be amazing.

 

[lego207]

Thanks!

Recreated one of my all-time favourites. Not bad. Also, night shots!

I should do more night-shots, I enjoy them.

SLRR needs some biz cars, so...

 

[lego207]

Indeed we do.. those look pretty good, judah!

Grazzy grazzy grazzy...

Just deleted TSMac 1 off my computer for good, and lets just say upon removal of that a couple of misc programs, I went from 4gb extra space to 177 extra gb of space. So.. I wonder how much TSMac 2 takes up...

Cheers,

Where can one get these cars?

 

[judahGrice]

Where can one get these cars?

they are re-skinned from landrvr1's California Zephyr cars, so it is unlikely you can obtain them, unless someone emails you the files (the only way he allows distribution)


P.S., have the files if you want them, no stress though
