Hello everyone!
I love all of your creations! I'm still kind of new to posting to the Trainz forums, (so if I accidentally make a mistake in posting or use the wrong terminology, feel free to let me know), but I have seen many of everyone else's posts and they are really beautiful!
Anyway, here is a creation of my own that I have been working on for quite a while now, which is The Maryland, Grafton, and Appalachia Railroad (MGAR). I'll explain more about its history in future posts, but it is my fictional shortline railroad that takes place in modern day and operates in the Appalachian Mountains in mostly western Maryland, southwest Pennsylvania, and a little of West Virginia and Virginia. The following screenshots are of an eastbound MGAR local freight train arriving and switching at an automotive glass factory in fictional Victannok, Maryland. This is an industrial town located close to summit of this division of the railroad. For the factory, the inbounds are 11 cars of potassium nitrate and 16 cars of sand. Outbounds are 9 boxcars of automotive glass.
Here we see the local coming off the main and on to the branch line to the industrial park.
Here is another view of that same overpass but with the surrounding mountains seen in the background. (All terrain work in building this route is done from scratch, despite the numerous amounts of mountains I've had to make, :hehe.
Here we see the local passing the switch to an abandoned spur, (which actually leads to that same abandoned track in the left part of the first screenshot).
Here the local rounds the curve before stopping to uncouple and then to assemble the outbounds already at the factory first.
Stopping to uncouple from the inbounds:
After uncoupling, the power backs into the automotive glass factory, and here we see them starting to assemble the outbounds to take back to the yard in the western end of the route (the city of Grafton, which is not yet built, :hehe.
Sorry for any grid or unfinished sections in the background. Also note, the three locomotives used as power for this local are reskins of mine, but they are still works in progress, (as you might be able to guess from the blue smokestacks and radiators on the leading GP38-2, :hehe:.
I'll see if I can post the other screenshots from this operation later.
Thanks for viewing!

@rwwaterz - they're made by Iliosin which can be found on the DLS
------------
@chdias - that is an amazing route there! I agree with Dartrider with leaving the half of the GP38-2 the way it is as it does make it unique.
Cheers

Saving your Authors of interest into Content Manager for quick lookups in the Future
FYI,
This is one way too save my Authors for quick lookup in Content Manager:
After running the Author Filter and Manually typing their name in search Que, there is a safe Button on top, to save the name. Which is simple and works great, but since your list in generally in Alphabetical form, I put a "-" just in the front of the name, that way, the names of other Authors if you saved several end up on top of list. I haven't tried other symbols like "+" or "?" too see where it places them unequally in the Content Search Filter List.
One other thing, several times, when re installing Trainz into a new place or drive, it has wiped out all my custom saves for different Search Filters I made and saved. So what I was told, is manually save the names of Authors in Notepad or Word Document to copy and past them back into Content Manager. The rub is, as far as I know, you have to do each name individually. But better than trying to figure all the names you had saved originally.......20-30 for me over time........
