G'day folks,

As some may notice from the USA Screenshots thread I have been working on a route based loosely on the HO 'Franklin and South Manchester' layout in Model Railroader Magazine.

Read the AWESOME thread! Wow 2nd time in one thread.

MT #611 approaches the main yard, waiting the green from a pair of 4-6-2s on an Express Passenger...

Cheers

One question.... if you only have 09 how can u have profigs trees?

 

[montanawestren]

That tunnel area progressed really quickly, and again my bad. And Jackie Probably not, but I don't Have 2009 so. Id ask Derrmy.

He would be using MYcopy of TS12 (we installed it on 2 computers) and all downloading is under my name. That said, it runs better on his machine then on mine.

...New Years Eve: Two passenger Trains, headed by an F7 set and a MT, depart Burnmouth on a Parallel run to New York...

Happy New Year Y'all!!

Cheers
Stevo

 

[rbar_164]

...Kicked off the new year by creating a new 'Burnmouth Limited' Pacific...

...#7, fresh out of the paintshop, is prepared for it first train to New York. I'll leave these unweathered so you can see the changes...

...the "Burnmouth Limited' departs...

...probably will re-do the tender... a bit distorted...

Cheers
Stevo

 

[sawyer811]

so just out of curiosity, is this going to be straight TS12, or can it work in older versions? I don't want to pick, but frankly I'm in love with this route right now...so George Sellios...I'd kill to get it into TS10.

 

[rbar_164]

Well the people who have it are running previous versions and is a bit... messed up once downgraded. I will, however, keep it in 2012 (unless the next one is too cool:hehe . That way it should work in future editions of Trainz

Cheers

...here are some more for whoevers interested...

...Baldwin No.8 banks a train out of Burnmouth while MT #611 brings in the afternoon passenger...

Looks great so far Steve.

Reading through this thread, however, I can't help but feel that this is more about your skills in Photoshop than it is your work in Trainz. They're both brilliant, though.

Keep it coming.

Matt.

 

[rbar_164]

Well, its a mix of route building, reskinning and photo minipulation... so yeah, two-thirds Photoshop

 

[stmsoccer]

Nah, Steve's work is great, spot on textures, and great use of foliage. Not to mention his great trackwork. The photo effect makes it pretty cool though.

Nothing wrong with altering a screenie to help set the mood.

Awesome shots, Stevo, and happy 1000th post (for your next post)! Keep them screenerinies comin'!

Happy New Year, everyone (still waiting on you, West Coast )!

Thanks fellas,

Now, don't go begging for it Taylor, or I'll put you in my ignore list...

...ok, heres the Loco Roster that Burnmouth Roundhouse currently play host to...

...4-8-2 (MT) no.s 616, 619 and 611...

...Baldwin 2-8-2 No.s 8, 14 and 10, with more to come...

...4-8-2 (Pacific) No.s 61, 65 and soon 66...

...4-4-0 yard shunter No. 6, with no. 4 in the shop...

...Heavy 2-8-2 No. 66...

...and a variety of F7s, ranging in numbers and additions, such as snow plow, icebreaker, ditchlights and others...

...I am currently looking for an express passenger steam locomotive. If anyone knows of some good ones leave the name and creator in a reply and I'll see what I can do.
I'm also hunting for some good tunnels, suited to the great depression era. If anyone knows of these drop them in the reply as well...

Cheers
Stevo

I think for express passenger I would have to ask what era are you looking for because if you want 20's stock you might want to use one of bdneals pacifics or atlantics but scince you route is set in the 40's I would have to suggest one of leeferr's engins mostly one of his northerns or you could reskin his crusader or go to trainz Italia and take a look at their two locomotives or ask lib if you could reskin his Gs-4 but for the most part if you want a 40's express passenger engin I would go for a pacific, hudson or a northern because those were some of the main engins used for heavy passenger or express passenger but for the most part I would look into lib's, Bdneal's, and leeferr's locomotives.
