NS Pittsburgh Sub (Large Pics)

See who can spot the oddity in this pic ?

MG tower is not like that tower ... I see cab signals with no stop pattern ... I see a clipboard (I gotz' no clipboard) ... 96 mph :eek:... windshield wiper needs fixing ...

Thanks CPman!

haha, u got it cascade, reached 115mph at the brickyard, quite intense trying to take screenshots... MG tower should be swapped for some custom content in the future when the route is closer to completion. As for the cab signals, i believe their prototypical over the Pittsburgh Line.
 
Now we just some super elevated curves in there ( i think theyre in this division) and the locomotives and cars work with em!
 
This makes a somewhat believable MG tower:

Its really hard to sink the two L & R towers, rotate them, and match up the seams.

115 mph ?

In cab mode I have to make 3 full brake applications (releasing brakes when I slow to @ 25mph), from the "Slide" (Bennington Curve) on the East Slope, and run in Full Dynamic braking-throttle 8 until I reach "Works" tower ! (Probably because I am running 15,000 ton trains, 1 mile long, with @ 8 loco's). :eek:

The ballpark at Mill Run twin tunnels (the Altoona Model RR Club site) is a great trainwatching site ... helpers on the rear with full dynamics howling, trying to keep downhill trains below 15 mph entering Wilkes Curve-Brickyard-Slope-Alto-Works areas.

Fantastic shots Scratchy! I was wondering when you were going to post a few with those puppies in them.
The route keeps looking better by the day.:D
 
yep its more or less an Sd40e, or an sd50 with some improvements which is what they are in real life. It was modified by a friend and is likely never to be released. I'm sure I JR one isnt completely out of the question when the route comes closer to completion.

The new dash8s are great by the way, just to rub it in a bit :p

P.s heres to 50k+ views! thanks everyone :)
