My Current Trainz Project

[santa_fe_dan]

I am currently making a model of the Illinois Railway Museum in Union, Illinois. As you can tell, it is not very far, as I just started it today! If anyone would like to contribute, write me a message on these forums, post a reply on this thread, or email me at luckylindy@earthlink.net! Thanx,
Daniel.

hi,

The route is looking good however I did notice serveral things that need fixing.

First Screenshot:
1) You are missing another track for the UP [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica]Belvidere[/FONT] Sub
2) All road crossings don't use gates.
3) The track on the left is supposed to be straight through
4) All tracks (except for Barn 2, Yard 5, Steam leads, Yard 10, and Yard 11 ) are electrified using overhead wiring.

Second Screenshot:

1) 50th Avenue (on the right side) is 2 track not 3 and connects to the wye track

Third Screenshot:

1) The road crossing is single track not double
2) The road uses wigwags not crossing gates
3) The track isn't connected for the wye it looks like
4) The tracks for 50th Avenue connect on the wye.

For the 2nd and 3rd screenshots look here

here is a map of IRM.

Also here is a map of the property.

HTH

That computer-generated map of the IRM grounds is what I'm using already. Thanks for the other maps and info guys!

I hope I don't get in trouble for digging up an old thread, but how is this layout coming? Did you finish it? I'd be very interested in being able to use this one.

Thanks!

Honestly, I never did. TRS crashed on me not too long after these shots were taken, so with the uninstallation left the project.
