TUME’s Side-Project "Season Town Northern Railroad"

Hello,

today I found something that I have not seen before. N3V created a nice looking Sneak Peek clip about my secondary project which will be released within T:ANE in a view days.

Therefore I thought may it's time to start a thread about that project for its own. And of course anybody is very welcome to upload some nice screenshots from that route in here as well.
Also if somebody has questions about that route, you can ask me here if necessary.

Once this project used to be just a little test layout created at one single baseboard. I started this test layouts to see how my latest seasonal content assets appears in TS12 rather than to see it just inside the PEVSoft-Mesh-Viewer. But as time went by I created more and more seasonal content assets like buildings, tracks, roads, rivers, telegraph lines, grass splines and many more - and eventually a lot of freight cars, locomotives and streetcars as well. Don't ask me why, but I used to arranged all these assets in a way that soon a little town grew up. Eventually the test layout reached a level of its own and the new side-project was Born. And now I hope that people will enjoy playing with that route in T:ANE - both summer and snowy winter sessions. But furthermore I also would like to see that people may use the many many newly created seasonal assets to create their own seasonal routes in T:ANE.

Does this route also include a mainline or is it entirely a trolley/interurban type route? It looks like a great place to run my non mainline electrics.

Hello,
just have a look to the official description:

The Season Town Northern Rail Road (STNRR) is based in fictional 'Season Town'
situated somewhere in the East or Middle West of the USA. The aptly named Season
Town supports season change functionality. Control the weather and see how the
route responds to the snow! The layout provides a short mainline section as well
as a 6 mile branch line connecting a limestone mine with a cement plant, as well
as a streetcar network consisting of four branches.


You see it is not just about an interurban route. The railroad is not electrified at all. But the streetcar Network has trolley wires above the track - of course

tume, I order the deluxe version just so I would get your route. Missed out on your 2010 release with great regret. Wasn't going to let happen again.

Hello,

in the opposite to the screens from a snowy winter session above, here some summer screen shots from a summer session. The best thing of a route which contains seasonal content exclusively is, that the seasons can easily been adjusted by just doing some settings in the environmental tool.
Making this possible was my greatest goal in route and content creation during the last years.

Looks great, Tume!

@ Railwoodman:
Thank you - I take this as a very nice compliment.

@ chris2001trainz2010:
Thanks also for your kind words

... and here some snowy winter Screens from the Season Town Northern RR.
It's quite unbelievable, but summer or snowy winter - it is still the same route including the same content

Very Nice So Far.........
Keep up the good work........

Hello,

just a visitor from TS12 in T:ANE's Season Town Route

Well, Toronto (TTC) currently replaces all of its streetcar vehicles, namely the CLRVs and the ALRVs, by the new Fexity cars, a fleet of articulated vehicles supplied by Bombardier.
Some of the replaced CLRVs and ALRVs could appear at the streetcar tracks in Season Town

Still several improvements will have to be done like texture optimisation to use single sided texture materials only, which is a matter of fixing some of my gmax-texture-waste I unfortunately did during the past.
Additionally the introduction of normal mapping, season change. random running numbers and outside adverts as well as more detailed bogeys and pantos should the streetcar make better looking than now

Paint 'em into Milwaukee Road! :hehe:

This is a nice little route, I'm glad the trolley sessions were fixed, I ran the summer one and it's fun when you don't have a lot of time. great job on both of your contributions to TANE>

TUME, thank you for making the trolleys. I enjoy them so much. I see the Septa PCC's a lot and I am glad that we have them for trainz.

i wonder if you will make a ts12 version on the dls?

Hello John2002,

this depends on how several things will work in TS12. At the moment it seems that several parts of the script will not work in TS12. And therefore these models will have to be dedicated to T:ANE. But this I will find out when I create and test several other Muni-PCCs as well.

Ok – about the problem of TS12 streetcars again. The main problem would be the way I needed to create the seasonal interior asset. Perhaps this will make it hard to come up with a full workable streetcar version for TS12.

San Francisco's MUNI-PCC streetcar number 1052 in Trainz: A New Era

Hello,

here comes a run of San Francisco's MUNI-PCC streetcar number 1052 in Trainz: A New Era.
In the route named "Season Town" the streetcar starts at the car barn and goes at first to Cemetery Loop. From there it moves back to the town side, goes along Main Street runs all the way to Lake Holiday Loop. The streetcar as well as the route "Season Town" are included into the "Trainz: A New Era - Deluxe".

Please note that this run does not follow the in-game session in which this particular streetcar needs to be taken from the car barn via Cemetery Loop and through the town side to the Shopping Mall Loop

Streetcar Sessions in summer and snowy winter time

Hello,

just two different PCC Streetcar Sessions in comparison to each other. One streetcar operates in summer time - please see the Video above - the other in snowy winter - see below. This became possible since all relevant route dependencies supports season change which is the case in the routes “Season Town” and “Avery – Drexel”.
Enjoy watching the videos and to explore the seasonal routes at “Trainz: A New Era – Deluxe”.

@ Hert:
Thank you for your compliment. I have already seen several screens from your work using my buildings - and I like it very much. That is why I have created these assets for
The UP-SD40-2 will be released with a bundle of several more seasonal locos and rolling stock I will create soon, to provide more seasonal stuff to play with


Your’s TUME

For some reason there are missing dependencies for me

Can I get help with this? Missing textures, rails, etc.
