Casey, you are a master in the scene composition of the life surrounding the railroad. You have all my congratulations! May I ask where is that flatcar coming from ?

Thank you for the high marks. Glad you enjoy them. The car can be found on the DLS under "Bulkhead Flatcar GSI 45 Ft SP DES" <kuid:101046:106235> by Dave Snow. The half load of wood was made with a spline, "Cordwood Stack MBC232" <kuid:431633:100578> by Cayden. The half loaded car remains a static part of the scene while fully loaded cars are picked up as scheduled.

cheers

I've been there once by the tracks. Wasn't much trains running (before the virus came here in the States). Nice capture!

A CN coal train prepares to hit the steep 2% grade between Robbins and Stormont on its way to the Odium Coal mine on the TRS19 edition of the Highland Valley.

 

[hiawathamr]

Lovely picture Jordon! Highland Valley is still an awesome route to drive on - I don't know why, it just has something to it that makes it special
Love the TRS19 updated version!

Early morning

Hiawathamr, those shots really capture the look of early morning light.

Ardens Hot Springs Spa welcomes travellers seeking respite from stress in this new atomic age.

Thank you!
Your route is looking amazing just by looking at your screenshots - keep up the excellent work!

Awesome stuff as usual Hiawathamr. I didn't think they had signs that light up that well at night due to the lighting restrictions in Trainz. I've recently been looking at radio towers but they don't appear too much in the distance (normal corona views I guess). Just curious how that looks so cool at night.

Casey that also looks VERY cool. You have my son all excited now

Thanks

Sean

 

[hiawathamr]

Thank you Sean!
Yeah some of the signs do light up at night so you can read / see them at night - that's what I like about night mode
Basically all radio towers don't have any flashing lights, but they can be added.

These beacons will do the trick to have the flashing lights for the towers. Of course they aren't viewable when far, but when close you can see them. They are height adjustable, so they should work for your requirements

Sorry everyone for no screenshots awhile - was working on this town that is finially finished

At 17:45, CP train 9111 passes through the town of Clifton with BNSF 7651

[CaseyBerg]

Hiawathamr, Looks good. The town of Clifton must be glad you’re finished what with all that construction noise at all hours.

Schools out for the weekend here in Dovetail Corners. Been busy posting adverts on the side of the general store.

 

[hiawathamr]

Yep, and I'm done making noise for the time being (with the exception of blowing the horn ); thank you for the kind words
Love your scenery there Casey
