Very nice! Hello fellow Trainz lovers.
Im new to this thread. Don't post much unless i need something lol.
Im learning new things every day about our game.
Im a former railway worker for CN from 1979 to 1995. I was in the engineering department called Work Equipment. Machine operator. Change ties out, line track, lift line and surface track, cut brush. Lots of fun stuff lol. Loved it and miss it too.
I worked most of my time at CN in southwestern Ontario. Dundas Sub Chatham Sub, Cayuga Sub, Strathroy Sub and even the CASO sub for a bit cutting brush.
So next best thing to be out there is Trainz for me. Im currently working on the Chatham Sub from St. Thomas to Glencoe. First track i worked on.
I lined the 25 miles with a Fairmont Spud Liner.
This image above looks very similar to what I'm doing. Its not completely accurate what Im doing but the mileage is correct.
Im doing a lot by memory, trackside stuff and so on. Im going to be featuring the N&W trains that ran from Welland to Windsor and how they pass through St Thomas pick up the cars from the Ford plant at Talbotville and run across the Chatham Sub over to Glencoe.
Train 27 was the Westbound and 28 the Eastbound. Two trains a day at that time. They tried hard to run at night, not always the case tho. Anyway Im looking for some lighting for the Yard at Southwold where the N&W's picked up and dropped off the car carriers.
Cant seem to find one that the light is not so ambient, too bright.
Anyway thanks in advance –Ross
