M&Pa Route in Development

Some "dailies" of the Baltimore Freight Terminal which I am modeling.

The textures are temporary. There are still many details to add, including columns, roof beams and braces.

Next week. Right now I'm cross eyed from pushing vertices all day....
 
Thanks!

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

Sweet! I look forward to it. All I've got ATM is a generic bobber acting as a standin for 2005/2006...

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"...

I'm open to suggestions... :D 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 think I will add the door.

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.

Meanwhile:

Nice! Very nice.
No no, just stick with what is fine by you.
It is your route and if you like it, then its all fine.
:)
Thats the reason I stick with Trundras tracks.

Meanwhile:

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 :D

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 :o:hehe:
 
I'll have a look. I love Pencil42's rolling stock. And the fact that he permits you to do whatever with it. I've reskined his cars as M&Pa Box, Baggage, and Passenger cars so far....
