G'day Smyers,
Thanks for the info. I've had a quick look at that readme and boy, it does look intimidating. Especially to someone who is not too familiar with the terms and equipment.
I'll need to set aside some time to read a bit more in-depth and experiment a bit I think.
BTW, are your shots taken on the Hudson and Western, or another of your own creations?
Thanks again.
Cheers,
Piere.
Hey Piere,
Yes, it can be a challenge, but the results are worth it, big time. I might suggest that you D/L a couple of Trainboi1's reskins, especially the B&O and PRR ones. Not only do they look great, but he has moved or changed some elements on each which may give you a hint or two on how it's done if you compare config files. The route is my own I tried a while ago, just to run some of the terrific road engines available. The Hudson & Western is a much better choice.
Best,
smyers

A late Sunset Limited is seen traversing the Horseshoe Curve while a cattle train waits on the siding in Torcer, Texas.

Getting a little better at this...
Managed to change headlights on 1021. I just sat there with the mesh folder open to check for names and typos. I did get angled number boards to work, but in doing so I lost the numbering. Went back to straight number boards.

Neither had I until a little while ago when I was looking at the old Sunset Route ROW on Historical Aerials. I then did some research about but not much came up about the area other than Timetables. It is also called "Torcer Curve". Link:https://www.historicaerials.com/location/31.125/-105.625/T1943/16
G'day Smyers,
Yes, they do look great. And your route looks really nice too (of course). Any chance of seeing some more of it please?
Cheers,
Piere.

Ericmp,
The Blue Comet shots are great. That is such a neat engine and consist. I forgot I have that set. I need to dust it off. Now we need Qaz to put together his New Jersey route so we can properly run it through Jersey. :wave:

Sure, Piere. It's really pretty simple, Based on an Andy Sperandeo trackplan, and designed for branchline runnng with small 4-6-0s, 4-4-0s, 2-8-0s and the like. Many of the radiuses are too tight for a Mikado, so I'll just disguise the viewing angle...
I'm actually re-building much of it as there are so many more assets available since I started it some three years ago.

New York Central 1853, a unique H-6a light Mikado leads a short mixed freight.
I Came up this Baldwin built class of J-3s which has the footboard pilot and an oil tender and passenger hoses, other than that, not much has changed from their coal fired counter-parts aside from the removal of the coal stoker and the addition of the sun shade and ahead of the cap stack is a little lamp to help the fireman with the density of the smoke that only oil fired steam engines have, although, usually a freight design, don't be surprised if these pop up on passenger trains from time to time.
