Nice looking layout, but those radiuses in the last picture look painful to operate.

Wow Ben. Nice looking route you have there. BTW, am I just missing something, or is there an actual way to focus on different locations within trainz? That image looks very blurred.Model Railroads can look real too! lol

... thanks for compliments ... it squeaks, but runs fine ...
I would love to see an environment setting that would be a simple click of a button: Model Railroad. ON, and the baseboards are surrounded by a rectangular cube with default floor, risers, walls, and ceiling (with indoor lighting effects). OFF, and no walls, no ceiling, but sky just like non-model railroads. A HYBRID mode could produce a sky instead of ceiling, leaving walls and so forth in place.
That would be a great feature, I would think!

Gosh, why are all my images coming in small? My other ones never have.

BNSF GP38-2s #2325 and #2311 take a local work train back to Freedom Yard and pick up a load of pipes to be dropped off at the siding by Route 15.
This is part 1 of a series of local runs on my Modified BNSF Pioneer & Freedom layout.

Man, Railhead, you just gotta take the spray paint away from those wild kids!
Great screenshots!
The funny thing is at one time I would not have dared done what I did but then I got to look at trains while stopped at a crossings and saw all the graffiti on each of the cars then driving home by part of a UP serviced industrial area I again saw all the graffiti on the buildings and signs............honestly I think its almost impossible to find a "clean" building or freight car anymore. Growing up with CR/PC practically in my backyard I remember non graffiti freight cars back in the 80's. Good luck now....

I have a couple versions of my Modified Pioneer & Freedom on the DLS already. Hopefully this weekend I will finish tweaking the BNSF Concrete version and put it on the DLS. Haven't made any sessions but it would be quite easy just to add some cars to the layout and go at it.
The industries you have are 2 coal mines (1 animated) and a coal unloader (animated), a small oil/fuel storage facility, transfer warehouse, cement plant, feed supply, and a functioning staging yard that can double as a warehouse district. 2 sets of ATLS RR Crossings along with 2 diesel servicing areas with one located in the Pioneer Yard and the other at Freedom Yard. You also have an animated bobcat next to the Ol' Betsy mine and an animated construction scene as shown in the video.
The layout can handle 2-3 AI trains depending on size. I like using 1 or 2 AI trains plus one that I control to make things challenging.
Buildings are freeware by Jointed Rail and RR Mods. I believe everything is on the DLS for relatively easy downloading. The layout is for TMR17 and not sure if it works with Tane SP2.
