Turnin back the clock...
Not realy a yard shown, but it is part of it.
W&A #3 on the wye just outside of Winchester Dock (wich has a dock spur and an additional storage spur) about to head back the 2ish miles to Winchester.
Circa, late 1800s...
Shoutout to Pencil42 and the others at the Carson Car shops for everything! Especialy the animated switches!

Old West is here. This is why I love the Trainz so much.

More of the old
This is actualy a yard! (Somewhat...:hehe: )
Two spurs, one for the dock, heavily used, and the other just for storage.
View from town. Train just got off the wye and is backing into the dock.
And yes, the dock is interactive, and shown by this shot from the boat.

Exactly. Just got a brand new laptop 2 days ago, obviously it has windows 7. I am attempting to learn it more in depth, however it is painful. Even when I was at work dealing with XP,Vista and 7 I never really ever had to "Fix" a windows 7 or vista computer. XPs were always the one to come through the doors. So it may say something, however I still prefer XP and would install it on the laptop in a heart beat if I knew there were drivers avalible, but there aren't.
The Puter im on now originally had Vista Home Prem installed just like se7en it worked good for awhile and it took a giant dump... i know its not the pc itself... im running a P4 titan Pro mainboard 8 gigs DDR2 "dual Channel" dual 512mb invidia video cards ... so once i get everything packed up in a cdp file out of the content manager and back up some of my other games im sayin bye bye to se7en.... so should you other se7en users.... trust me it will happen sooner or later....
One end of the (working) humpyard on my current WIP project.
It is a shared yard for 2 class 1´s and the end of a shortline.
The shortline has its own small yard somewhere up its line.
From left to right:
-elevated tracks with passenger traffic;
-ramp (connection from a shortline for passenger traffic);
-2 tracks to bypass the yard;
-6 arrival/departure tracks;
-15 directional tracks.
This is the end opposite to the hump.
Still tons of work to do, but its very refreshing to "test" everything between 20hs building sessions.

Same here. If the vendor still allows returns, I recommend checking out Tigerdirect. You can get new laptops with XP "downgrades" (lol, funny the misuse of the term; if anything, Vista and W7 are major downgrades...) And if you want to go cheap you can get recent off-lease laptops as well.
And if it is too late to return it, I still wish you luck.

It really is not an issue for the run of the mill person who is just looking for a computer to do word processing etc.
However I do have more knowledge then most when it comes to computers, and Windows 7 makes everything I do on XP a nightmare.
However I do need to get acquainted with the OS to keep up with the times, so I can repair someones issue with a Windows 7 based PC in a more timely manner, rather then scratching my head for about 10 minutes, then click a few times, then scratch my head for another 10 minutes or so.. Otherwise I would be out of a job sooner or later as XP falls out of the loop in favor of these new things.
Although XP will still be the standard for at least another year, but there is no guarantee once Microsoft dumps support for XP SP3 that the commercial and private businesses will still keep there XP based computer in fear that a new fangled virus may penetrate and take valuable and sensitive information because Microsoft no longer updates XP.
Well you must be a patient person because the biggest obstacle I've found with Vista/W7 (minus the fact you really can't conveniently run offline, which is a huge deal, and the false promises of security) is the totally unusable interface.
This is Lewis family Lines Koda Yard. We can see in the shot the MOW equipment yard, intermodal factilty, part of the engine and car repair facilty, and turntable. Out of shot is the freight yard, roundhouse, sheds yard office, switch tower, locomotive prep area. The Lewis Family Lines mainline runs through the middle of the facilty. Their are tracks to a mainline heading north and south, one to a secondary line, Port Branch line, and to Spencer wye and industrial track.
