• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Looking good Snuffy. Making pure terrain must be a real bear... So much to do and add and all..

Hardest parts are switches, tunnels and platfiorms.. Switches are actually easy, but the program has a habit of making you pay for every switch you add with countless numbers of rejoining track together..
 
Looking good Snuffy!

Those wheels are pretty sophisticated on the insides. Shows some good modelling technique there. In the old days, we would have used Graphics to coat that side and replicate all those curved fins.

Lomg Island from the jersey side???

No, Sorry Pam, Not Jersey Shore ... yer too far north, but certainly on the right side of the country. ;)

Thanks for the interest in what's happening with my mess I'm making.

Some of you may be wondering what makes all that gear work ... Well I threw together the boiler for it yesterday.

Here's an update.

You're getting a lot warmer ... it is off the Chesapeake but not the bay proper ... and you've nailed the era of the model. It is the ACW.

Here's an update or two:

Wow Snuffy! Impressive! I didn't know you liked trains as well.

Good Stuff! Thanks for sharing your project with us!
 
Thanks C9G ...

Trains are after all machinery. :) And I am as you know, a Mechanical Engineer, who works in the boiler industry ... and oddly this engine I'm working on is a boiler.

Here's an update shot:

Snuffy,

And we finally have a winner!!

Yup, its the City Point landing in 1863/64 When the Union Army was at its peake during the siege of Petersburg.

I plan to eventually expand my railroads from this point and cover more of the other inter connecting rail systems from Petersburg, like the RFP, Weldon, Danville, and P&N.
