Thanks Robby, that'll work great.

And thanks Mike for...um...yeah, lol

Beat me to it. FWIW, those are the exact type of approach lights used on Runway 10 of BWI.

This and a few other things recently have convinced me that I should learn Blender before starting my own route...

 

[strench707]

Yeah its hard when you don't have a lot of things that really stand out in a route. I'm lucky to have some 3-D modeler friends at TCR to help me out.

Been to BWI it's amazing how they elevate the runway lights on most of the runways right.

Before my thread gets too far buried...

Another great shot Stench. It looks like it did on my last trip on the Northeast Corridor and that was...2 days ago. :hehe: All kidding aside, keep up the good work, man. :wave:

 

[strench707]

Thank you very much I appreciate it!

Davis

 

[bryinmich]

Looking good Davis. Keep up the good work!

:Y:

 

[RailRunner154]

That is awesome. Love the scenery.

 

[strench707]

Thanks guys!

Here is a shot of my current area I'm working in (Relay, MD) and this is looking down CSX's Capital Subdivision (ex-B&O) railroad south towards DC but really more westward at this spot where it crosses the NEC. You can see the Home Signals for the recently rebuilt and relocated HX Interlocking:

[lsstaten]

nice.you know theres a DEM for the area you'll doing.

 

[strench707]

Yeah but I'm doing the terrain from the charts I have because its WAY too late to start over, lol.

Davis

 

[PereMarquette1225fan]

Man, the Northeast Corridor route is going to be a blast to operate in Trainz. It'll definitely be better than the one in Microsoft Train Simulator. (I know, I've used MSTS and it was okay, but Trainz steals the driving axles. :hehe: )

 

[strench707]

More progress...

Lol thanks PM1225f!


Here I have started constructing WINNANS Interlocking (which is located in Halethorpe, MD) this is a one switch interlocking with Interlocking Rules only applied on Track 1 and Track A. The four tracks run together all the way until BRIDGE Interlocking in Baltimore:

This next shot is in another WIP area just south of the last shot (almost visible from there). It is where the CSX tracks cross over the NEC and the Diageo industry is:

Any questions or comments please post!

Thanks

Davis

 

[PereMarquette1225fan]

This is just getting better and better. I can hardly wait to download this beauty.

 

[susanaes]

strench idk if i asked/said this but i be happy to beta test this for you if you want? So if you get the time just PM me so we can talk ok.

 

[NIARTcar]

There is no better screenshot than that of good track work...... I always say that the track work makes the route, and you clearly are doing a very good job.... keep up the good work, it will definately pay off.


cheers

where did you get the bridge in the second pic

 

[strench707]

Thanks Guys!

@PereMarquette1225fan:

Thank you very much and once released it'll be a blast to drive, trust me I'd know lol

@susanaes:

Thanks for the beta testing offer! I am still very far away from that stage but when I'm there (maybe months from now) I'll deal with it then.


**Now guys this isn't the time to flood the thread with requests to beta test, I'll get there when I'm ready, thanks.**

@NIARTcar:

Thanks I'm glad someone posted about that. I spend TONS of time on track. It literally can take hours to get it looking right. Thank you for recognizing my efforts!

@kevp123454321:

Okay well this bridge was a major PIA to build and I still am not fully satisfied with how it turned out. I basically scratch-built it with different assets and I am not really sure what part you need, so I'll give you all the pieces I used:

**I put quotes "" around the asset names, they're not actually part of the name.

Gray Wall -- "Retaining Wall 12x6m Blue Brick, Brown Ballast with coping stones"

Brown Girder Bridge -- "Bridge A 2track"

Red Railings -- "Fence NY 07"

Now if you need help finding any of those, just post which one you need and I'll try my best to dig it up.


Small Update:

This is another WIP area just south of WINNANS Interlocking:

Here you can see the SB Home Signals that protect the new HX Interlocking:

Thanks guys for all the support!
