A CN train headed north from vancouver

The same idea as hert's and bentrain's of Bering Strait crossing but with technical aspects being taken into account. This is the last station in Russia - Vostok.
Due to the massive security concerns of this project all trains are throughly inspected before being let further and the station itself is secured by guards armed with AK47s. Firstly trains drive through radiation detectors, x-ray scanners, FUES/WILD systems and high and/or wide load detectors. Then they are being let into yard A (customs, closer inspection and initial sorting):



Not containerized freight such as those Canadian coal cars being shunted to a facility to exchange bogies to Standard gauge. American (the continent) cars shunted by an old broad gauge c36-7 bought from Estonia with one coupler refitted back from SA-3 one to the American one. While Russian cars are shunted with a regular Russian shunters.
After yard A comes yard B (transfer between gauges)

Containerized freight from Europe, Russia, Middle East and China being transfered from Russian cars to American double stack cars.
The rest isn't ready yet.

This is being modeled somewhat like our real European Union - Russia border station - it also has radiation detectors, x-rays, security screens, etc. The gauge is same though.

Go Go ... Bering Straight "Chunnel" ... The drive underwater would be kinda boring to run though ... same as a Trans Atlantic RR.

Thanks montanawestren! Back at'ya

So...still experimenting with poorly tampered track.

Is definitely an interesting experience running over the dips in the cab of a locomotive. :hehe:

I think so, the joys of photo shop!

DC, the steamer, where..?

 

[ns1997]

It Is really amazing that how old that Models bdaneal made and they have not lost any punch to them at all....

Dunno, maybe the same place you left your manners
Common, man, have some respect :n:

It is a nice looking steamer, Dave

Cheers

hey now Rbar...no need to be so rude. Personally Taylor's comment seems more akin to an attempt at humor that went over like a lead balloon--trust me that happens a lot. Frankly, I'm trying to sort out what loco that is/is supposed to be myself, now that I've seen it lurking in a few different shots.

 

[flyboy559]

I just figured it was Feather River Shortline #8

 

[sawyer811]

actually, now that you mention it, she does have No. 8's face...

 

[817TAYLOR]

I was and still am in shock, hence the "..." and I was actually wondering if it is a reskin or an actual new model.

@justinroth,

Where did you get the bracket? I've been looking for a possible way to bracket mount the G-type signals from SAXRT to make a nice old-NYC setup.

@UPBigboy,

Any pointers on the "bad track" techniques? I tried using the gazillion-spline-point method, and got tired of it quickly for anything other than very small stretches of track. Are there any other ways to do it?

You could make a patch of slightly uneven ground, then copy and paste it along the length of your ROW. Lay new track on ROW leaving spline heights unlocked (white spline markers) and they'll conform to the uneven ground.

The brackets are Grahmsea's edited to be height adjustable scenery, and the concrete base is just a rusty corrugated tank. Repainted them and slapped a few ladders up there, kind of a pain but you gotta do what you gotta do!
