I finally decided that building large, undetailed routes just isn't me. Plus I'm now a sophomore in high school (dang, freshman year flew by....) and my time available isn't a whole lot now.
So heres the progress on my new shortline!
I only have 2 boards done so far, the town of winnebega.
We start our tour on the south side of town. There is a grain elevator that receives barley on trucks, and then that barley is transported to trains.
plowing on ahead, I deliberately made the track uneven to simulate a shortline with tracks in need of repair.
The only crossing in town, with a budwieser billboard off to the side.
Main drag of town. I designed the town after all the little towns we saw on our road trip to ohio. the road going to the left connects to a freeway beyond the hill.
