Armstrong comes to life!
Over the past two days I spent some time adding some detail to the newly added portions of the mainline (between East Breton and the newly moved Salem staging yard at the far west end of the route).
I also spent a bunch of time adding a lot of detail to the new town of Armstrong.
Then per railroad rule book I took a bunch of screen shots and here they are, hopefully for your enjoyment...
(1) The MAP showing the area covered by these screen shots
(2) The grade crossing just west of Armstrong. Hope that guy doesn't stall creating an engineer's nightmare...
(3) Apparently the green Chevy didn't stall...
(4) Entering Armstrong, holding the main.
(5) A passing drone pilot obliged me with some aerial views. The distant hills are hills, not a backdrop. I added some extra squares back there and raised up some hills on the furthest edge painting everything a grassy green color to hide detail and give further illusion of hills in the distance. Armstrong may be a pretty small town, but apparently high school football is important there.
(6) Looking west past the depot (thanks BBarnes005 for turning me on to this cool SP depot! https://trainz-forge.com/p/scenery)
(7) Looking east toward the depot.
(8) Someone working at the local elevator grabbed this shot and emailed it to me...
(9) Splittin' the Armstrong depot and the bulk oil dealer...
(10) I'd guess that from all those weeds, the water tank probably has a leak...
More coming in the next post ...
