Superb work both of you Taylor and Andy! That Chessie stuff is like really hot right now. Taylor, if I could suggest something to you, I would suggest going and getting Pofig trees (found in dep packs and Checkrail, JR, and Traindivide) and using a mix of those. You could probably strike a pretty awesome looking scene!

I believe I have them, will do

That's because no one can avoid the cuteness of the Chessie Kitten ;P

what do you all think?

Well done! I do agree with Enzo about using Pofig treas in there to, being it looks realistic when you use more than one tree intermixed even if it is the same type of tree but varying in shape and height.

Hey Erik can you inform me how you weathered the trucks of the es44ac in your pics a darker colour than the loco body?

In the same way as when I paint or weathering a locomotive, a train car, or anything else (I just do it, hehe).
Unfortunately, I have no better answer than that, but to practice, practice, and practice even more is a tip, if you want to learn.

^ Erik--- superb shots as usual. This may have been asked before, but are all these shots from a work in progress route that you plan to release some day, or just staged for screenshots? In any case, they're beautiful.

Cheers,

Dave

Probably the most important is lots of experimentation with different techniques until you get the look you are after. Superb shots Erik.

What's this about CSX not letting steam locomotives on their lines?

 

[817TAYLOR]

early in the morning midst the silence is broken as a pair of CNW C40-7's, a NS SD80Mac, a NS SD70ace, a BNSF SD70Mac, a KCS ES44AC, and 3 UP ES44AC's struggle to carry a heavy 13,000 foot train, weighing 11,000 pounds

 

[H222]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but 11,000 pounds equals about 6 ton. (metric anyway) Considering there are animals that weigh more than that, those locos are seriously underpowered or are running on donkey urine. Either one
