My project update:

Snuffy,

My favorite stretch of track! Thought I recognized the engine house in the other thread. Been collecting documentation and parts for some time to make an N-scale layout of that line from Petersburg to City Point. Didn't know this was possible in MSTS! I'll have to dig out my old copy see if I can get it to run on my current PC. Inspirational!

Hey Crash,

Yeah, I've always wanted to model it as well only in H-O scale, problem was always money and space. To do the layout justice you know.

Well its quite doable in virtual reality. I got all the DEM info, did some KLM with google and things are going along swell.

MSTS will provide you with much more period equipment rolling stock wise, unfortunately there doesn't seem to be an interest in generating steam era stuff for the U.S. with the RW group.

If I could just get a handle on how to go from modeling to in game, I could provide what the RW sim world is missing. Oh well.

I have a pretty decent map of City Point that's about 3/4"=100' with all the main buildings, the track, and the entire encampment layout. I've been building from that.


Here's an update on the beach yard.

And here's an overall of what I've got so far ...

WoW! Impressive work there Snuffy! Did not know you modeled.:wavey:

That's not an entirely true statement Crashaz ... ;)

I just can't get my models from the model state and into any game/sim as I know nothing of that phaze of the process ...
 
I know some members of the TS community. Talon is at sea right now... but I can find some others.


Still muttering under my breath about Aces closing and losing TS2... we got a sneak peek @ SimCon and I could not wait to see it in action. Wanted to see the Great Northern and Santa Fe routes in action. Also a fan of Southern Pacific.
