USA Pics

Thanks LVman. Yeah, I think that I will change out the mainline with the darker ballast track. It was just an experiment that I was doing. Even though it probably would look better if I added more trees, I have decided to not add more because my framerate is already starting to suffer.

I have done a bit more on the Alco, and fixed the area around the headlight that wasn't weathered enough. I will probably be posting more pics once I get my yard more detailed, and finish the lumber branch.

Thank you....And yours are very nice as well :Y:


3 more to add quick

Here we are set up the Neenah Paper where we catch todays switch job....Todays power is a WC GP40 #3009

First shot we see is him pulling out a loaded boxcar


Moments later he shoves an empty one back into the plant


After switching the mill tracks...He then scoots over to the woodchip track where he is about to pull 2 woodchip cars and 2 bulk head flats from the spur

The year is 1989 and we are set up just a lil south of Fond du Lac and to our surprise we catch train T002 which is based out of Fond du Lac heading for the Illinois Central's Markham Yard which is south of Chicago and we see a "Green Gator" 'as some crews reefer them' and a WC SD45 in charge of todays revenue with a good sized train in tow....President Ed Burkhardt noted that this has been a very commendable year in many respects. The high level of customer satisfaction that WC enjoys is directly attributable to the great personal interest that each of you has demonstrated in the company since start up....Wisconsin Central commemorated its first year by decorating SD45 6655 in a special paint scheme which soon became the railroad's standard...Ironically, 6655 would be the first SD45 retired, even though WC amassed over 100 other SD45's......So we were lucky to have caught it before it was taken off the WC roster.....

More like a 15% grade. I'll fix it up and replace the CDP on my site.

 

[jadebullet]

Wait, this is released? BTW, 15% is WAY too steep, you would never be able to climb that slope in real life.
