An old project Im bring back for what I thought I could not salvage.....(see if you can guess it) And giving it a new look in TANE. This is to pass the time until I make my first trip to IRM. :)

I've brought the old TS12 version of the L&A into TANE and so far I like it. I'm getting better frame rates so if I can improve the lighting there is no turning back.

Here we have a pair of L&A ex Y6's heading up a long heavy train of coal out of the Hazard yards heading for the factories in Cincinnati. It's going to be a long slow heavy drag to the Ohio river before hitting some level grade.

Here are some shots of what the new version of whats left of my old White Pine River Railroad (all I have left is whats left of the mountain pass area) I have no plans on releasing this version of the route to public and Im going to keep this route for just personal use since my putting all of my effort on making my IRM & Mainline route project to be the release route. So until then, Im working on this to pass the time and get back into the grove of making routes. Im giving Sand Pit Jct. Im turning it from just an old siding with a few buildings to a bit more of a small industrial but now abandon industrial town where (instead of lumber) this time it was once a mining town and had a siding with a locomotive shed since Sand Pit Jct was a place where frequent wheel slipping happened and where sand was always required to keep trains moving, but in the advent of trains stalling the town has a shed for helper engines to be stored on standby incase this happened and in winter months when heavy snow came it was also used to store rotary snow plows at one time. Sadly due to decline of materials in the area the town was abandon but was left mostly intact but still has a few locals who still refuse to leave leaving only the Railway Depot and any facilities associate with it being the only things left in the town that has not been derelict. over the years the town has been the spot of a number of ghost sittings (Particularly ghost trains that either had accidents or were scraped long ago) one of them just happens to be a certain engine the locals will tell you "If you hear its whistle get out now or you will regret it" with the number #311 but I will get to that later.... For now the town is like a time capsule where not much has been torn down and everything is still left as it was when the locals left....

Here are some photos of the new Sand Pit Jct in TANE.

Im still working on it and unlike last time Im going to be working on a town to town type fashion and then once the towns are done I will be working on the areas between them. Hope you all like the work so far. :)

Looking really nice Matt!
 
Thanks, Its great to be route building again. Its why I got started in Trainz in the first place, I can build the layout of my dreams on here with no worry about space or cost just to add 1 building or tree to a town. :) Im still working on it at this moment. I might post more shots later if I get enough done. The only thing that is slowing me down is that I liked to us a lot of the cliff and waterfall sensory pieces that were used in the Murchase 2 route (THE DLC route) from Mac 2/TS12 but hopefully once that one has been moved to TANE I can reused those assets to make this route look beautiful again.

golly, that reads like a chapter in Clint Eastwood's The Outlaw, Josey Wales!
 
Morning everyone. I done more work on Sand Pit Jct last night and started to add the trees in but until I completely finish adding the smaller pieces of scenery like trash cans and old junk and machinery around the factory area, Im going to hold off any more flora scenery until then. Here is what the route looks like

I plan on creating several small towns, a few sightseeing locations, and a few cities, as well as abandon towns. This route will take place in a alternate universe where Steam was never scraped.

Dug up some old shots on the old computer. This route is in mothballs, but it's definitely something that'd be awesome to finish. 10 points to anyone who can guess it.
