There are some very interesting screenshots on here. Many of them look like a real-life photo. However some of the night ones are extremely dark and you cannot even see anything in them. You do know that you can put a screenshot in a photo editor just like any photo?

They use Photoshop, and they are dark for effect. Don't change effect

I agre most are too dark,.. but this is easily fixed in game with a few tweaks to any skies light intesity. It's all a matter of preference though,... Personally,... I prefer the night photo session look...

GREAT night-time shot!

 

[Conrail45]

GREAT night-time shot!

Much appreciated!

Credit's got to go to Justin though for the amazing lighting on those units. Main reason the shot is so dark is to highlight the walkway/numberboard/cab lights.

And some not-so-dark shots.

BTL was leased a SD70ace to help on the local runs.

Shots from a one-board layout I'm messing with:

Crossing one of the ravines.... I've got an idea for something else here, too.

Grade crossing below the logging trestle:

Rounding the bend at the base of the trestle:

An MOW crew working in the cut:

At the logging camp:

Coming out of the logging camp passing Train Park:

Em..those grades look kinda iffy, don't you think....?

It is not a prototypical rivet-counter layout. Just a one board model railroad style layout. Big loops and grade separation to maximize small space in a single board. Pretty tight radius turns too. C36-7 is actually too big. Its got a passing track, but it can only hold about an 8car train. You won't be running 100-car consists on it anyhow. Only takes 6 minutes to run the entire circuit at 28mph. The lumber mill and logging camp were to give something to do.
