Couple things here.

On the right is Maddy 25's Dock Wall 01 it is a spline of a dock wall with a cement top. On the left is my Chunk of Maddy25 wall soon to become a spline.With Maddy25's Dock Wall 01 you would have to use the spline, then on each end put in her asset Dock Wall Corner 01 Corner which was not a spline to terminate the structure. Since she's already made those asset there is no need to reproduce them. But what I want is a Pier Wall. ie a wall face on both verticle sides. She was from the Great Lakes I am from the Great Lakes and what she's done accutately represents Great Lakes Piers and Dock, and even Breakwaters at the end of a Rivers enterence into the Lake where the Light House is Stuck.So now that I have Her Paint properly scaled on my asset to the Left. I wll make a spline for a dock, a Spline for a Breakwater, they're different on the Top Side. Then I'll make another asset, track which you can drive Trainz on. They will be all mix an match Harbor assets to be used interchangibly. Set back this is gonna get cool Great Lake Modelers.And I give all the credit on the texture, again to Maddy25. The fact that her assets end with 01, just means I'm taking it to 2, 3, 4, 5 &6.Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Here's the new Dock. I'm gonna upload it right now. It's on the left. Maddy25's spline for dock wall and dock wall corner is on the right. you Can see the differece to assemble, and it's not 4 sided. It's a Dock wall, Mine is a Dock. I don't need corners, and I"m gonna make mine a bridge later on with buildings on it. And turn it into a Loader/unloader. For rignt now it's a 4 sided Dock Spline, and I will up load it tonight. This asset will change I'll be adding them rope tie things later on. Help first Mates what are them called?

Well let me qualify that last post, the dock, will always be a dock. I will use the image of the dock to make track out of it, seperate KUID. And the Dock is now uploaded on the download station right now. I see My 1 Track Plate bridge updates are now live on the down load station. Git'm.

So if you look at this picture you have a chunk of breakwater, a dock quay, (whatever that is) and my new Dock. Problem with breakwaters is they don't have tires on them. So I'll be using my chunk to make a spline, forground. No biggie. Except everyone I"ve ever driven through looks primer paint colored. Consider that a warning.

This Break Water in Marguette is Different.

Most I've driven my boat through have the light house on the end of the pier. This is pure and simple a breakwater from Northwesterlies. Which is off to the right. One thing about the Great Lakes if you ever come here. Don't get stupid. We fish Tourists out of the Lakes on a regular basis. Ie don't walk to the end of the Breakwaters when the waves are over the top. 5 or 10 a year think they can fly, respect the water.
 
As a Michiganian and regular visitor to the UP and Marquette you work is amazing. Since you are going with the 1915 rail arrangement am I too assume that you will be adding the Upper Harbor LS&I dock. Keep up the great work.

Yes the upper LS&I dock will be there. I'm going pre-depreciation in the lower Harbor(prior to dock6), along with LS&I in the upper. But I'm going to install the Dead River Bracnch...though town by the Fair Grounds, which was it's last usage. All the Dead River Branch will be there along with the Dead River Lumber Docks in the Upper Harbor and the LS&I dock. It's freelance for me, if I can get a picture, under stand the story....it's in. It's not proto, it's just it is what it was when. And the more track and industry the better.
 
There are some other unique items comming for this harbor.

Double track trestle, trestles with walking boards to the dock...railing etal, and ect. I'm going to do my best to add assets to the trainz database.

In fact I was lucky enough to find an ore dock in google sketch up. Cut that down to a chunk, foreground, so I could spline it, background. And what you have is the start of the LS&I Upper Harbor Ore Dock. The next step is to turn it into a 4 track bridge, and then build all custom approach Iron Trestle work. In fact ships are on their way in already.

But with a much wider form, I was able to slip it under the Ore Dock. And it looks just fine to me..for now. Actually that Ore Dock is going to be Track. Think of the entire Structure as a Trestle, and then it makes more sense.
