UP coal tenders assigned to derricks often had black and silver striping like that.

On another topic, color me impressed with the latest TANE SP2 Beta, RC5+

Enough for now, I think Bob would have enjoyed this. :wave:

 

[KenRuof]

Norm, what route are you using for the V&T? Also the 3 track open sided tipple I do not recognize, where is it from.

 

[normhart]

:hehe: That's Mojave Sub. Division just below the Walong loop. I figured it was the closest I could find to the Nevada foothills.

Might take me awhile to ID that tipple, it is on the protoclinchfield route well below Sandy Ridge on the north side of the pass.



That's Jacob's Fork Tipple, right next to the Splash Dam Tipple not too far out from Elkhorn City, 10 to 15 miles maybe.

Edit: That got me wondering how calibrated my mark one eyeball was so I deadheaded #153 down from the tipple to Elkhorn upper yard



8.85 miles, not bad at all

I have gathered most 4-4-0's released in Trainz thus far for some shots! We've sure come a long way since Trainz SP3! Yet, as always, we still have ways to go!

Another angle...

3 foot in particular...

 

[normhart]

Nice collection! Thanks for sharing!

 

[normhart]

N&W collection, 'J's in the first row, 'K2's in the second, the third row has 'K1's, 'A's, a 'Y3', a 'Y6', and a Southern 'M' after acquisition by N&W . There is a pretty good selection of cabooses too.

Build 84204


Build 88304


Not much difference visually.

I was planting weeds along the river banks and got bored.











(Need to add coolers)

 

[Thai1On]

Norm those shots are amazing! Dave

 

[normhart]

Thanks Dave, it was a lot more fun putting cars, swimmers, beach stuff, and boats around the river than it was planting weeds. Of course finding majekear's rail cars with 50's Impalas was icing on the cake. I got lucky with that Grayhound bus showing up too. Most of the assets were from Lothar, of course, including the Bel Air and Fairlane. The route is Dermmy's East Kentucky somewhat modified.

Since those are brand new 1959 Impalas I would have been nine years old at the time these photos were taken. :hehe:
