lego207's Work/Silver Lines

Nice. I'm currently in the process of driving a TOFC eastbound up Marias Pass with a CSX SD40-2 in YN3 leading. I'll probably have the screenshots up tomorrow.
 
My two favorite fictional railroads - my California Southern, and of course, Leo's Silver Lines in Trainz together on Leo's spectacular route! All equipment skinned by me besides those G72s which are from JR.

One day I'll get around to rebuilding that old mess of an SL route. Today is not that day.

Slightly out of date now, but whatever. Electric route has had progress made on it.

Plus, a new even more ridiculous bridge setup.

Slowly, slowly progressing.

Fresh units, fresh skins, & fresh routes. What a time to be alive.

are people still interested in this, or no?

I went to your website and downloaded you V1.1 of the Northborough Model Railroad and V2.0 of the Rusty Track line. I have Windows TS12. Both of the routes are installed but aren't showing up in my Trainz route menu. Is there a way to fix this? I also have V1.0 of the Northborough Model Railroad and that also doesn't show up.

Ah, well if my somewhat limited TS12 info gives an idea, are your favourites on, by chance? That will just not show any routes not under favs, including newly installed routes. If not, check if it's because the build number is 3.8, in which case you'll need to change that in the cfg to 3.7. Also would check if deps are all there, might cause problems.
Heh, you've reminded me I need to rebuild those routes sometime - maybe shortly when I get the chance.

Well it's been such a long time coming, forgot about this thread for the most part.

Well if any folks are interested in my doings, I've done a few things.
4 recent, brand new reskins
2 route modules (1 is an extension)
plus something like half a dozen older reskins.
Work on major routes is essentially non-existant.

Module 1: Distribution Center, plenty of goods and products arrive here in short trains to be shipped by truck out to the local area. 'Course, where we are here is a little middle-of-nowhere-esque right now, but that'll probably change soon. Highway is located behind the center. Lots of work to go, likely going to be a while till this gets on the release block.

Even heavy equipment gets dropped off occasionally. Few WIP pics.

Module #2: Winter Bridge - an extension to the Silver Lines Winter module. This is a smaller and more simple module, but it is something to kind of add to the old winter module. It features a classic massive bridge, and an endless amount of trees. It can be easily merged onto the original route and requires a slight movement of track and road to make a full connection, and it'll snap into place. Very minor work is required to finish this one, merely some detailwork.

Let's talk reskins now. I mentioned four brand new skins above, and one or two have shown around the forum (and other forum with some more on it). Here, we'll have a look at all at once.

From left to right, we have Silver Lines 3074, ex-MILW Soo Line 1207, MILW 618, and MILW 1216. All are SW1200s. Detail isn't seen too well in this pic, but they're similar, especially the three Milwaukee units. These are all essentially done, but we've found some issues you can see here, which is that the numberboards will not load the correct image. We're trying to fix it, but we're not sure what's up with it yet. When the boards get fixed, they'll be up on the release-slate. Hoping to bring them all onto my site at some point in the near future.

In terms of other items, we've got a bunch of SLRR SW1500s which are done, I just need to make sure mchawkman is alright with them being put on my site, so I'll have to contact him in the future. There is also a set of freight-scheme F7 units in the works, some freight cars, a GP35, and an AS-16. The last needs a recolour, GP35 needs some fixing up and weathering, and the F7s need work overall. Some freight cars done, some not. All in SLRR. Last thing to look forward to is a possible Milwaukee Road SDL39. We'll see how that goes, it'll probably be a while, and take a lot more work than these others.

Current hope is for an October release with both modules and 10 locomotives/rollingstock, all for free. Though lots of it are SLRR and not what most people are interested in, but why not, y'know? I think the routes are probably the thing people would be interested in, but do feel free to tell me what kind of stuff you're hoping for. It helps give me an idea of what next to do and what to release.

Cheers folks.
