Bring on the dirt! Real life has its share of grime, and your layout is getting more real all the time......
So yes I will begin to detail the above mine and make it "dirtier" for your viewing pleasure..........
:udrool: Oh Baby, does that look great, and the mine you have now I really like the style, If I may? What is the Asset Name for Ole Betsy?
That Rock Texture looks terrific too, goes hand in hand with Ole Betsy, everything fits right in as a Natural Site..........
It is not often that I am surprised by something that happens in a game/sim. Tonight was different. I intended to post a short vid of an animated Bobcat tractor operating next to the Ol' Betsy Mine on my Modified Pioneer & Freedom layout. So for added detailing I threw in a SW1500 with an empty 100 ton hopper....to my surprise as the hopper moved under the mine, one of the coal chutes dropped down and filled the hopper with coal. I had no idea this was an operating industry until now..
So not only do we have an animated Bobcat but a fully functioning mine as well. What a nice surprise.
Railhead001,
I have enjoyed/ am enjoying reading through this thread to garner some of your ideas & methods for bringing a layout to life scene by scene. The small "real life" vignettes certainly go a long way to add to the immersion. I only hope I can emulate some of them in my layouts.
Only criticism I have is that you didn't split these into separate threads to make it easier to keep continuity.
Thanks for doing this for everyone.
Cheers.
