The Laurel Line Revisited

Howdy All, It's been a while since I posted a progress picture in this thread. At this time I can report that I'm still plugging away and the Lackawanna Station model in Blender. I'm up to the adding textures part of the game plan. Here is the latest Blender render.

Thanks, guys. I think I should be close to finishing this weekend. I knew it would take a long time. I just don't have the time that I'd like to spend on it. My next project might even take a bit longer as I'm going to model the dreaded Luzerne County Courthouse. :eek:
In the mean time here is a screenshot of car #113 entering into the Scranton LWV yard passing the carshop and powerhouse. Besides some more grenery on the ground this area is basically finished all though I can't rule out a model upgrade of the carshops or powerhouse down the road.

I'm glad you like them...I think they're great too! I've opened up some dialog with Jananton about this very subject. Maybe we'll have some news on that soon.
 
I now got the Scranton DL&W Station into Trainz. Unfortunately, I have no place to put it right now becuase of me starting the Laurel Line Project over again. I did the next best thing here and made up this little mock up to show what the station might look like.

AGAIN??? what happened?

Go to the Laurel Line thread in the freeware section for that answer... I feel I can do a much better job then I did on the first one. I've learned alot in Blender and in Trainz since I first started this project long ago. Personally, I'd like to take another crack at it.
 
I haven't posted in this thead for a while and I'm overdue for a post. :)
I recieved the new 3rd rail track and I'm in the process of re-fitting all the track starting with the Scranton Yard portion of the layout. For those that didn't get the memo, I've decide to continue on with the original layout instead of start it over. To much work has gone into what I've done so far, it would be a shame to waste that all.

Anyhow here are some screenshots of today's work.

The track is still going through the tweaking process so there will be some more updating. The matching bridge/tunnel track is still being worked on and the 3rd rail ends still needed to be placed.
 
Looks good, Scott.
Can use a bit of grass and shrubs and trash.
:)

Actually looking at the 3rd picture, there are a group of trees not showing in the background...it could be because I have too many trees. I may have to slim down the selection of Pofig's trees.
 
Yes, I'm still working on this...I'm in the process of adding a set of Pofig's trees to the layout. Out of 1076 items, I selected about 100 of trees and bushes to use on the Laurel Line Project. It's a slow go, but I'm slowly getting 'er done. Here are some scenes with the new trees.
