NS Shirley Industrial Park (LARGE PICS!)

My WIP Projects (LARGE PICS!)

I'm making a new route. This is an industrial park on the Norfolk Southern outside Washington DC, circa 1990. A detailed article is in "Mid-Size Track Plans for realistic layouts". As you can see, I'm NOT very far yet.

Decided to do all the track before the scenery. I left this siding blank because I can't find an industry that loads steel beams. Any ideas?

Hey, Just set up the track work and I will set up the multiple industries and sessions if that's okay...

 

[boyerm25]

Ah, but I love doing sessions. It's one of my favorite parts of the process. I suppose if I can't find the right industries I may change them a little (I am NOT using that horrid "Multiple Industry New". I'm sticking with the BI2 system.

Thats why I was thinking about making a base session where the multiple industries are set up, you just have to make your own train.

Ok, I'll do that, I was going to do a sample operating session too. I'm a slow worker, and I want this to look perfect.

No more screenshots until I'm done with the trackwork. Might be a while.

 

[boyerm25]

Trackwork = Complete!

looks good, Id like to recommend mcguirel's pinehill textures for the route with certain combinations it will look great!

 

[boyerm25]

Cool, i'll investigate those.
