Thanks!
Here it is nearly finished (I spotted a few places where the textures are warped that I need to fix)

meh..
that building looks great good work!
Latest, still wrestling with the random crash.... grrr!
Note the "Betholine Sinclair" billboard - my re-creation from a poor photo.
Words are correct, colors are a guess. The Dinosaur, while it is a sinclair logo, is a guess as to what was in that corner as it was very washed out in the photo.

Yes, but not always...
The Sinclair part of the Betholine logo was most definitely on a green background and the background was visible, but the dino's body was not visible in the old photo, only his shadow.
Thanks for the input tho.
I have no info on 2002's weight, only that is was an 8 wheeler built by M&Pa in 1905 and had a "side door added in 1961"...

Looks nice what you did there.
Just the track doesnt find my love, but thats personal taste, I guess.
Keep them screenshots acoming, good sir!
I'm open to suggestions...
Tho to be more or less like the real thing it has to be low ballast, lots of tie showing. My biggest wish is that it had some nice fishplates...I'm not looking a gift horse in the mouth, but I am modeling 1947 so the door wouldn't be there "yet" - the Maryland division was ripped up for scrap in 1958/59.

you know, if you haven't toyed around with it much, Curtis (pencil42) has some pretty amazing, light-railed track on the DLS. They come in two ballast colors (grey and brown) and three flavors each; well used (well-mantained, clean ballast, and polished rail-tops), lightly used (slightly rusty/grimy, some weeds on ballast, rail tops looking kinda grungy), and unused (...it's been abanoned in place for the last century...). BTW, the tracks are 60lb rail, and have some prettty amazing fishplate/rail joiner action going on
like Isegrinns said, though, it's your opinion and wha YOU like that counts. I tend towards Curtis' stuff because it lets you have different levels of overgrown track without the weird looking effects you can get sometimes with different...and I'm ranting again
:hehe:
