PRR Screenshots

What asset did you use for the track fill?

A shot of Jacks Narrows where the Juniata River cuts thru Jacks Mountain and the PRR main clings to the south side of the cut. Some other shots of the EBT and PRR tracks in Mt Union, PA area. Just a test route for the new version of the EBT I'm doing in TANE. So some of this is experimentation will get tossed at some point but a lot will make it into the new version. I drew the interlocking tracks at Jacks tower in the cad program last Saturday and hopefully they'll will get merged in shortly. The lead into the old PPR yard in Mt Union is still being re-worked.

The last pic shows the lead into the PRR Tie/Creosote Plant where it crosses under the PRR main. It had a dual gauge 2'ng/std yard and the only 2'gauge steam loco owned by the PRR.

RPearson,
I just took a look at Google Earth for the Jack's Narrows area. It looks like you are pretty much spot on for recreating that area. Nice work!

Heinrich, It's all in the DEM. Don't I wish. But thanks, I'm pretty happy with how the PRR trackage is working out. I picked the tangent sections off google earth - NS still has 2 tracks thru this area but found it too difficult to get the curves in right doing it that way. I ended up using the curve and grade data from one of the PRR track charts so the curves and grades fit in fairly well with not too much manual terraforming. They had station number and elevations for all the grade changes but only deg of curvature for the curves - no stations of end points.

Add a few telegraph poles and it starts to look like a railroad. The bridge going into Mt Union was a pain getting it to work with the lead to the PRR creosote plant. The arch spans are too small to match the real bridge - the actual has only 6 so they are longer. But using a separated spline for that end allowed me to stretch to about twice the mesh length before it snaps back to the actual mesh length when the 2nd arch appears. I kept the track running thru on a diagonal as I had it in previous versions (following the prototype) and it just fits thru the stretched arch.

So the bridge is not right but close enough for now.

Same here even though I don't have the patience to do tons of research on any real world route whether it's historical or modern. I wish I could either do my own version of the Pittsburgh Line (modern or 80s) or other routes I have in mind such as Koln/Cologne to Aachen or Frankfurt to Cologne NBS which both are in Germany, but maybe someone else would do it far better than me. I can only do fictional routes better than real ones regardless of geographical location. I apologize for going slightly off-topic here, but I just wanted to put my thoughts here on TransDEM.
 
Not fair ..............Nice shots . But so not fair .:hehe:

My net's been down . Sucks not being able to check out the forums .:(

Railwoodman,
I really enjoy the Sandusky route as well. Those are nice shots of the PRR Geeps working the coal dock. It really is a fine route.

Love the monster shots!

@Railwoodman,
Nice action scenes of action at the Sandusky Coal Dock on the Toledo Division. I can imagine those ERS-17's mingling with a J-1 or J-1a having brought coal up from Columbus on the Columbus Division, and the Cincinnati Division.

Railwoodman (Matt),

Thanks for your feedback in post #2032. Tower signs for the Philadelphia-Harrisburg Main Line are almost done. Then it's on to the Middle Division. I'm also studying the possibilities for bay-window towers...

I always enjoy seeing your screenshots! Keep up the good work!

Jim ... Thanks . But I have to say you work is making things pop on the Monster . So Thank you :D

More of Altoona . not even gona try and fill these up yet:hehe:

Railwoodman,
Altoona really looks good! Love the progress. :cool:

Nice shots of the PRR Aerotrain. It was only around for less than a year, so those are rare shots indeed.

Phil .... I'm glad you found it . Love mine . Just got the C1 . Hog of the yards .:D This brute has been a want for a long time :D

Matt --

Going back to the Q2. I'm sorely tempted. But is it as "glossy" as the little switcher released recently? This one:

I have the switcher but for reasons unclear to me I can't get rid of the high gloss sheen.
