Rubber, Coal, Cars, and Steel: A Protolanced Eastern Ohio Route

[jacksonbarno]

Instead of filling up the USA pics and Steamshots threads, I thought I'd give this little project it's own domain. :hehe:

I don't know what to say... It's simply... stunning. routes like this are why I'm a proud trainzer. Great work jacksonbarno!

 

[rrfoose]

I look forward to seeing more. So will this be old LE&E stomping grounds?

For now the LE&E is getting the short end of the stick. I'm trying a different approach to building this route, and I'm trying to not make it as congested as past routes. As of now, the four railroads on the route so far are the PRR, B&O, NKP/W&LE, and the Montgomery Steel switching railroad. I'm working towards adding an EL main and possibly throwing a super secret project of mine into the mix. After I get at a section of those lines laid, I'll start fitting the LE&E into the mix. For now though, the EL is stuck routing trains over the PC line, and that won't do at all! :hehe:

Hey Jackson, whose PRR signals are those?

 

[slabay]

Very nice work, Jackson.

Hey Jackson, whose PRR signals are those?

Those would be RRsignal's. He just released a massive amount of PRR PL signals that comply with NORAC rules. They are on the DLS BTW.

Jackson: Nice shots man, your work is an inspiration to all of us who model the transition era!

Nice work Jackson looking forward to seeing more of this project mate keep at it.
Cheers Mick.

Thanks guys! I've been recently getting some tips on asset choice and how to arrange scenery, so I did a bit of experimenting in these shots on a new part of the route.

Amazing route! You really capture the feeling of the area at that time.
May I ask where the patched EL GP35 (?) came from?

 

[jacksonbarno]

Thanks for the complement! The GP35 is my own private skin, as are most of the other GP35s that you may see.

 

[rr325]

Beautiful skin then!
And again, spectacular job, I look forward to seeing more!

Ok so this isn't the same route, or Eastern Ohio. Welcome to Cincy (sort of).

 

[Thai1On]

Well now this looks interesting .

Also, look out for a tutorial coming up on how to make the 40ft trailers from RRMods and Eastcoasttrainz work with the flatcars by Cloakedghost!
