-Thought this was a cool shot. Looking west at Barstow yard in southern California. Shoulda had shadows turned on.

-Thanks man! The switches are based on the m23 US&S electric switch machines. I made two versions, ones with yellow and green lights on top used in yards, prob. not 100% prototypical, and regular ones with no lights for mainline use.

Well in my opinion , they look great . Makes that shot pop . by all means keep the shots coming , the switches reminded me of how the Edgemore yard looked with lighted switches . Now not much of the yard remains .
Again thanks for sharing

been a while since I've seen that hump :/
is that a new barstow tower or is that the one that was on the DLS now with added features (and some new textures)? haven't messed with that in a while and just curious

-It's not new that I know of. I think it was even faulty and I had to fix it to make it work.

-Btw, there is some JR pink ballast, wood ties, built-in to T:ANE and TS12. Used on the Mojave Sub.

Some of you may have seen a few shots of 1839 in the reskin thread 
.
You will notice the Idlewide yard is a interchange yard for the L&A and the N&W and was built in 1903 in an old part of SW Norwood. Most of the area was razed for the yard except for a few old factories and buildings that will be torn down one of these days. 1839 has finally made to the Idlewide yards after a long trip from her branch line home with a consist of empties. Needing repairs that the boys back home couldn't do it was time for a trip the the city. The Booneville main shop being the L&A's heavy repair shop was a long trip, but the Norwood shops were closer and could do the work so here she is. The empties will be dropped here and next stop is the Norwood shops.
