Now you're fine....ain't no reason to be sorry.

They're good, but the turntables want to hang about a half a meter or more below the rails. that's why i try to stay away from them (mostly because I haven't figured out how to fix them yet...still tinkering though, or I will be).

PS: There are some working water tanks on the DLS, by pencil42, but they're more for the back country/shortline terminus kinda deal. For somewhere big like Ishpeming or Marquette you'd be best to go with the first idea. A couple of good examples are YVRR Bagby watertank (KUID2: 124060:28047:2)
and the straightly named "Watertank" (KUID2: 124060:28046:2). sorry, I'd have added that earlier but I just thought of it.

I figure it's best to ask Steam Guys...then try and figure that out, and this too.

Suggestions are more then welcome. If they work but don't look good, don't worry...maybe the author will let me skin them up for everybody on the DLS....Ben is really good about that.

..because simply put, I'm a bastard on quality with this route...from trackage detail to.. geo, Ah ......Gps location track spike detail.

IE...Spike number 1,000,261 goes here on the North Bound Lane...I'm a Virgo and can't help myself, that's where it's going......

The more detals the better...it'll do it over and over to get it right....infact...I've already done this area twice. There is a big difference between doing it twice, trying to make it look nice. And doing it.

I am trying to set a period here, where all Loco's are Welcome.

So, I don't think they've run out of harddrive space on the forum yet so keep them comming.

No problem, the more the better.;)

Raise the ground under the pit. It won't show up because of the hole punch beneath...

Yup for free..download youself Loco's...they're in...

Thanks for the loco roster now just gotta get through a scripting nightmare

My "Diamond Plate Class", considering there is no way he, CNR could look at his model like I can now...to "fine tune it"...he has a better eye then I'll ever have...again. Very wonderful GP9 Class of Loco's done for MRL, CPR, CN & the SOO...if you have not added them to your Freebe Roundhouse...You Should. Best GP9's out there...IMO.

I notice the view count on this thread going...

through the roof....

That's a good thing that people take an interest in their history.

There's no way you can get this mapping from Google Earth and this route in it's day was busy, busy, busy.

Let it be known when all of the United States was being rationed in Gasoline, Rubber, and Metals of all kinds during WWII....This is one of the places where Iron came from to make Steel.....all day and all night 24/7/365.

Blow up our Tank or Ship, we'll dig up another one and put it in your Face.

Now if more then a three quarters of high schools grads knew who George Washington was I'd feel better.

Hint.......He was the Nations First President.

What Nation? The United States...he's on the Dollar Bill.

And He Drove a Big Train Back In The Day. The AmeriTrain.

This was a very, very, very busy place back in the day....as everything we have now depended upon it producing.

And no expense was sparred getting that done. (one of the origional getter done deals, or if so inclined; DODMF.)

Three Cheers for the Yoopers...and the Men & Women who did this nation a service by doing their jobs.

Just Saying....This route Looks Killer is Killer.

come to think of it, i think I've seen photos on Railpictures.net of LS&I RS-3s sitting on the Dead River Branch...I know i've seen them running under the ore dock.

BTW, this is actually in Marquette Right? I've seen enough old shots of the place to kinda sorta know where i am (in the 1950's probably...:o it's the whole steam guy thing) but i'm having trouble transfering the track plan to my mental image (bearing in mind mine's probably all wrong anyway). I think a trip around google earth is in order.

Just saying, this route looks killer. If it's in a future version of trainz, I'd definitely buy it just to run this. though it needs about a dozen more 2-8-0s.:p

Well, IMHO. I ain't seen a trainz route yet that can compare to what I'm doing here with this, nail by nail....it's geography and history in one.

And if they try and Dup ME,(clown content, for REAListic), I'll kill them with details, like hand drawn in artistic streams and give it away on a 3rd parthy DLS..

Like I"m doing this for money....thousands of hours a year...for what?

Pleasure....My Pleasure.

SO..if they want to make money, they have to talk to me and not an idiot with a box of color caryons.

Plain and simple, or I'll blow them out of the water, with my art, and They lose..but I'm the only one standing that can say FU.

I'm gonna do this reguardless of them, or if I ever get paid.

I say this because I have a Confidentiiality Letter they asked me to sign scan and send back to them.

I don't have a scanner to send my signed letter back with....and repeated attempts to get a fax....have got me nothing from them.

So I figure they are not interested....So...I say to them.......GFAD.

Otherwise I'm just gonna keep doing what I've been doing, because this it my hobby,,,,Not a business.

Unless you get serious...and stop screwing around with me......see how nice it would be if you gave me your fax?

I'm loving this...

everybody want's those maps.

Let me guess, there are 9 people who are doing what I'm doing...and one of their source locations it me!

I'm not going to devulge my sources, but I will devulge content to keep you busy..

Finding content sourse.....is worth money, "if you need it, and don't know where it is, and can't find it"

Remember confidentually agreement. If it was signed sealed and delivered.

Well....I most likely wouldn't be here. So enjoy while you can, if you are routing for them. OR...

for the guy who don't give a rats ass, ME.
 
Stop going back and forth between the Pics.

You guys are hammering the page count up.


Like from Kevin Costner in the Postman...

Speaking of Picks...do you know who your 38th Great Grandfater was?

Here's a pic of my Grandpa along with his calling card.

This on took a while to get it right.

This is the West side of Negaunee, MI. Top of the Map is North.

From top left; Chicago Northwestern Main curves past it's Depot & station toward Iron Street Junction

Next Top Left, cutting the Left X top left to right...the Duluth South Shore & Atlantic South Main comes into it's staion toward Iron Street Junction.

The X on the top has the DSS&A Under the Lake Superion & Ishpeming North Main which runs in the North Side of Neguanee...goes through the Harris Yard then down hill miles away into Marquette.

The Next track from Left to righ is the DSS&A North Main comes past it's station from Iron Street Junction.

Iron Street Junction is thel lower X with a Yard...The CNW is comming in from the North and going south through the Yard.

The DSS&A is comming in from the West...one branch runs straight East, another Dives into the Yard and Parrells the CNW...Merging into it on both Sides of the Yard.

The Lower set of tracks with an engine turn around on the Lower Left is the LS&I South Main....It merges into the CNW & DSSA Traffic on shared track to Palmer, MI....where it splits...is stays up on the Hill to cross over the DSS&A, CNW and it's line to Palmer for Eagle Mills.

The one other Branch right Center is the DSS&A it merges into the Hogan Yard then into Eagle Mills or Marquette, MI

It's a piece of Work for sure.
