Marta CQ312 reskin to DC Metrorail

Ah right, thats encouraging, out of interest what items did he make?
He made the station platforms and several vaulted ceilings...and of course the reskins seen in the 1st post. Other then that all the other stuff that has been claimed to have been made by him is bogus...unless he has made other stuff that he just never has let anyone see. But as I said the things he has made so far is accurate just not scaled correctly etc.
 
Yeah, I just realized that when I went there recently, and man, it's a dump. Particularly the VRE platforms, which shake up and down with dust falling off the roof when the train gets in.:confused: They really have that ticket counter hidden well there...

EDIT: workin' on a really good Metro station:

Obviously, some work must be done, I only started it 2 hours ago, but I think it looks good so far.

Really a shame this never went further
 
Just an update I'm going to set back the release date for the route for the end of the year or at least to the end of next month. I'll have to admit training for the pole volt is serious work which makes time on the pc shorter please bare with me I'm just as surprised as you are.

As an update I a'm still doing the demo first i'm going to lay down the tracks then adjust the height levels to the actual above sea level height then I will take care of the scenery later.

p.s. i'm starting at shady grove station and dow from there.
 
Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaah the c-100 I downloaded onto trainz 06 made the program go insane now I can't even use the launch menu.please give me time to counter act this problem.

p.s. progress is slowing down because my little sister is always on my desktop which has my two trainz version in it.

If anyone whats to know the wmata transit workers/supervisors are very picky about people taking photo's of the rail yards or maintance sheds. The reason I'm leting you guys know is because I got in trouble with a transit supervisor just because I was about to take a photo of the shady grove yard facility from the platform. Any how just keep in mind that most wmata are just picky about who takes photos of what, and where the person is taking them from.

p.s. I got in trouble on dec-13-09
 
I'm pretty sure that any project in this thread is long dead at this point - however....

I'm still working (slowly) on Silver Spring to Takoma Park, possibly extending further after that, we'll see.

This is impressive. :). If you want, I can beta test this when you finish... I'm glad in any case that anything dc metro is still being worked on! :D

That goes for me to ill be glad to beta test this for you as well.

P.S. Excellent work on this the Red Line is my fave. Line for D.C. Metro it was the first train i rode my first time 4 a vacation trip. And my hotel was right next to the station Metro Center.
 
Some more update shots, I have the track layout set out as far as Takoma. Now its just a case of filling in the scenery.

The scene over Silver Spring Metro, I've adjusted the colors on the bridge to make them a little closer to the real thing.

Thanks for the comments - the station roof was created by someone I know outside of the trainz community, so I can send that no probs, the other objects such as the station columns and stuff are reskins done by myself.
