Trainz Eastern Route-The Volunteer Line
- Thread starter Red_TVRM
- Start date
We laid track using the guidelines in the DEM. We moved a few yards around here and there for our own concept ideas and at placed used tunnels to add to the feel and also cut some twists.
We also contacted NS and asked some questions and they are sending us a timetable for the area covered and we’re using it as well to add immersion.
If one wanted they could tear up our main yard more it north and relay it and run it as the Pokey.
But in the end we’ve tried to stay true to the track guide in the DEM. Which is also another reason we went and used fictional names for towns and didn’t do a true representation of the area we started out to do, the fit just wasn’t there.

Very good...
That's good, the route is original for the most part, being isolated from properties it once had, you have improvised what you need to support the route & that is just what we need.
Portals for off route entrance & exit adds excitement to the game.
Actual terrain maps any way provided will eventually give us any direction we so wish to get too!
It looks like you have a clue on how to get to realistic track profile & we will help any way we can.
I am always looking for detailed authentic maps to learn, mark-up on & run the wheels slam off my locomotives!

That is an early post that shares the feel/idea of it all. Clearly it has been expanded since them.

Northbound is good....
I hear some awesome railroading is going on in the Grafton area.
I have created a DEM of the Interstate Railroad if your interested....
In TRS2004, TRS2006 or TS2009.
I have been working a route in TRS2004, the first I have worked 'o4 in years & I must say route-building is easier in 'o4.

I don’t have any experience with 04.
We’ve also had a number of community members step forward and offer their work for Trainz Eastern Routez; which is humbling to say the least.
I’d be interested for sure. I’d also enjoy the chance to work with you on any project you felt like sharing with us. Our goal is just to satisfy the community’s desire for top quality and free routes.
What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others and the world remains and is immortal.

You're welcome Red, and I'm happy that YOU ARE working on this project, without sorting people! ... if you catch my meaning!
Looking forward to reading/viewing what you have store for us!! :wave:

might be back?
I am loving those patched units. Also, that sign is pretty cool.
Thanks Jade, I have a "be safe" as well as a "welcome home crews" sign for the yard. I felt it gave it a family feel. The idea came from Digby Trucking in Nashville, TN.
We now have patched units from CSX, NS, Clinchfield, Conrail, Family Systems and some of our own paint. I like them each for its own reason.
We've cut spline trees out and have replaced them with other products, and are making our way north.

The Family Lines System?
Oh gee great!
Here is a Family Lines paint diagram I made for Nikos1 quite awhile back...
Nikos1 did several SD40-2's on it, it matches the Jointed Rail GP38-2 loco also.
You will see it is not plagued with a camera filter but feel free to weather it as you see fit...!
Tonight, I updated the mask shown that was done using Prjindigo's loco & got it running in TS2009.
The original was a 512x512 map, I updated it by larging it to 1024x1024 but it needs weathering...can you do that?
