My current route under development
:
:
It is virtually release ready now but I am contemplating whether or not to add TurfFX and Clutter, neither of which I have ever used before. I will need to do some experimentation before I make that decision.
Thank you for that Phil.
I was thinking that applying these effects throughout a very large route could be problematic (the Wiki is a bit vague here as it talks about "limited data binding space in a layout" for the effects layer) and I was going to apply them in just a few places (mostly in the yards, sidings,etc) but restricting it to just a few layer types.
Some experimentation on some simpler and smaller layouts is called for.
Guilty as charged. Back when I first started on this journey, once I figured out how to make a simple object, my next ambition was to build a country. Naturally I picked a small one to not overwhelm myself, LOL. Over the years I've worked on it off- and on. Using a set of detailed topo maps and my lat-long reader, I started placing stations all over my map, adding baseboards as needed to reach the next one. It still exists in TRS19 and is worked on from time to time. Using SpoorPlan maps, the station tracks are pretty good representations of the real thing and a few major landmark buildings have been added but that's about all that has been added besides some of the major roads. When I drive around, my imagination fills in the many blank spots with more detail than even the most poly heavy objects can provide. Over the years, I've found that the building and making is what is fun for me. One really nice thing about virtual trains is that multiple projects can be in various stages of development, can't do that with a real model railway.The average noobie often proudly announces their intention to build the entire rail system of their country. Sadly, they give up long before finishing.
