As you can see those 4 settling ponds are larger then Palmer Michigan. It's gonna be one cool working Taconite Plant. And one of a kind..it will only fit this terrain.

Speaking of one of a kind Models
The Saw Mill in Ishpeming, MI is built to the grade of the CNW tracks on the left, and the DSS&A Tracks on the Right. Custom, Custom...those crossing boards are tipped to the grade of the track...if you moved this thing one inch from it's current position it won't work. The track has to be where the track is, and pitched exactly.

See no wiggle room on the tracks...they gotta be where they gotta be.
It's a one piece model...if I upload this or hold it for this route it only works one way...right here, just like that.

If you look closely at that last pick...I'm working on a water tower...basing it on gfishers just behing mine floating in space. Which too is a part this model why not? I was constanly tweeking this thing to fit the track bulding a water tower on the side should be a piece of cake...got the dimentions and the size...those will come too, and will work. Back to the Saw Mill, 2 Wharehouses one for each Rail road, will have 2 wood chip loader one for each line.....but I'm going to move this whole unit around to the other side further in the Yard. Receiving Tracks for Saw logs....busy, busy.

Somebody got some time to check this...I'm showing 10 YR TS Shed 01 to 10 in content Manager...are they all on the download station?
Because you could take the sheds, mills and mine shafts and cobble up just about any early american industry you could think of....there will be more of these mix'n match units to come.

This one won't for now....it's the Ispeming Freight Depots of the DSS&A on the Right, and the CNW on the Left. Each had a freight office and the largest building in the center of the Yard was for freight interchange. It's all interconnected, track specific, grade specific and both Offices have the name Ishpeming on it. Maybe I release a skinnable version? What do you think about the red roof on the CNW office over there? That's one of the problems with black and white old photos....everything is a shade of gray. They probably painted every thing blue, with green roofs LOL!

I see I had scale issues with the one on the right, and 2nd from the left...corrected and uploaded.

Nice buildings, and yes, you should release a reskinable version. As to the red roof, I like it. I'm only 16, so asking me for help seems a little silly.
Also, about the water tower, could you do a diesel era one, with the spout knocked off? That would be a great asset to hide in a Forrest.

What do you think about that concrete floor...dirty enough for you?
BTW....thanks for down loading my bridges. Over 100 of each....so I got with it and finished the steel webbing and braces on the bridges. I'll put the updated versions out first of the week. I also resized the old stone paint on the supports to be in line with the origional Maddy25 Old Stone supports.

Here's the next Item up....
I'm going to attempt to make this Trestle chunk, become a bendy trestle so I can get my loading dock trestle work done. I'm also going to use the supports for this trestle which are round into a trestle that looks like every trestle I've ever seen that crosses a river. ie the supports are round driven piles not squares.

First attempt... Mesh is a little long...shorten that up need a little more height on the trestle itself. I think this is a first for Trainz...a Bendy Trestle.

Threw some engines on it and put a junction on it so you could see it WAS track!
Not a bridge. It's Bendy Trestle Track.

Yup! I don't know how anything at the docks ever got done, right, without this kinda track. Soon to be on a download station near you. YR Bridge Trestle Bendy. Was at a complete standstill on this route when it come to the docks, had to make this in order to get it done correctly. Yes I could have used the Plate Girder Bendy, but it was verson 2.0. So I looked at it really good, updated it to 2.9 and released it on the download station..then created this trestle mesh to do the same thing as Maddy25's Plate. Like I said, I'm a big fan of her work. This trestle is going to open up endless possibilities for modeling in Trainz.

One Final Step, the Track details.
As my way of promoting Maddy25 fine work, and the fact that I like similar textures similar, the ties and rails will get Maddys Paint.
