@NewYorkCentral and Jimbiglion: Ahhh! Blast from the Past! I forgot I did that, I lost it unfortunately. Shame, it would've been great to have some cars to go along with it too haha

Looks pretty reasonable for a 5m grid layout. If you've got anything above TC you should be able to get similar results. Also, the track seems to be level, so by using the raise to height tool one should be able to cut it even closer. A rock texture on the train's left would make a dramatic sheer-drop effect.

Cheerio,
Nicholas.

It's 1962. Hurricane Alexander is 3 hours from hitting the coast. An NSL Electroliner speeds down Ocean Boulevard(Front Street) on North Beach, passing hotels, gas stations, restaraunts, and the Shoreline Expressway heading to the maintainance yard. The beachside is very derelict and abandoned. In the distance, a Jetliner makes a return back to land because of heavy gusts.

5 Years later, 1967. The area hasn't had a hurricane for a while, with the exception of a few tropical depressions and one tropical storm. The coast has been teeming with tourists and people have enjoyed the warm weather. A Greenliner heads southbound to South Beach and the suburbs further south.

(Good times, Good times... all of this stuff is lost, but there's always the saved images that harken back the memories!)
 
Screen shot question. When I post a screen shot in a thread and click on it it shows up in Image Shack with all the extra junk stuff. How do you get the screen shot to appear by itself?

You should be able to find a link code, usually ones with in brackets is the one that will post your shot to the forum. If you want to post a link [I]to[/I] the pic, click on the pic so it is full size and then copy the web address from the address bar. I'm not 100% sure about image shack since I use photobucket, but it should be similar.

EDIT: I just found your route thread, and clicked your thumbnails.

The "direct" link will give you a link that only shows the image when clicked, not the Imageshack junk. No thumbnail though.

Under embed, the "forum" one gives you this when you copy and paste the code.
