Smr Simple!

Well I learned a lesson while testing on the actual map. A 24 x 24 map is waaaay too big. A whole lot of dead space that can't possibly be filled given the limited number of industries that the game allows. I am in the process of re-working the map to get something in a size that is good for the gam...

The last engine for this map has rolled out of the shops - the Great Northern GP20 number 2040.
Everything is built and passed the first test. Now it's time to start moving things to the actual map and start re-testing. All part of the fun :>)

Today I finished the Great Northern GP9 number 679. This engine has an interesting look with 3 lights on the rear rather than the typical 2.
My version:

I hope everyone enjoyed the holidays given the restrictions we are all under. 2021 will be better. Have a Happy New Year and stay safe.

I've finished another engine - the Great Northern 2-8-2 number 3059. Now it's back to the industries and such.

I found and interesting picture of a double deck pig car a while back so I decided to give it a try. The car I found looked like this: gn stock car piggy car 157000.jpg Using that as inspiration, I came up with this one which will be in this map: Double_deck_pig_car_v3.jpg There are 4 doors on each ...

Here are the Great Northern GP7s - numbers 606 and 635.
Now for more industry and train car work.

I have finished another engine - the Great Northern 2-8-0 number 1147. Time to go work on some more industries and train cars.

I have also completed the Great Northern 4-6-2 number 1355.

Another engine rolls off the line - the Great Northern F3-A number 350-C.

This map is a bit of an experiment. It is designed as a 24 by 24 map, significantly larger than anything I have tried before. Time will tell if my pc will run it. It works ok in the terrain editor, but that's hardly a real test. I have got the first 2 engines ready. First the Great Northern 4_6_0 nu...

Just a note on progress. I have moved all industries, traincars, etc. to the actual map and re-tested those elements. I am currently in game-play testing. Once I get something I'm happy with I will finish the map i.e. trees, rocks and so on. Then I have to create the event images and finish the RRT_...

The last engine for this map is out of the shop - the Union Pacific AC44CW number 7238.
I still have a couple on industries and traincars left to build, then I have to dig into the map.

I am re-introducing the BNSF GP60M number 100 for this map.

Another engine out the door - the UTAH GP38-2 2002.
