Smr Simple!

I have spent some time over the holidays doing a little railroad work. I wanted a new lighthouse for this map, so I built this one: New_white_lighthouse.jpg I still have one more engine to build and test and then I should have the pieces I need. That said, I do seem to be adding and subtracting thin...

Got this one finished this morning - the Northern Pacific 4-8-4 number 2760.

Another engine ready to run - the Great Northwest Railroad Shay number 2. Many thanks to wingsofphoenix for constructing this model. I'm sure many hours went into this project. It's a beauty.

The next engine for this map will be the Washington, Idaho and Montana 2-8-0 number 132.

The next engine is finished for this map - the Northern Pacific 4-6-0 number 428.

Hi Folks. I have started work on another map - The Great Northwest. This map will encompass Washington state and a large part of Oregon. I have the first engine for the map completed - the Central Washington Railroad 2-6-0 number 365.

The gremlins are finally gone. I have run this map through twice more with no issues. I have finished the testing and now I have to create the images for the Events.xml and for the Scenario goals. That will take a little while, but I feel like I am gaining on things again. Starting to think about th...

It looks like things are back on track. I have run the map through 6 times, adding things as I go. So far so good. There have been a number of adjustments along the way. Now I'm ready to make a few goal adjustments and start testing for playability. I don't think that's actually a word, but it seems...

I'm stumped. I have made major changes to this map twice now and I can't get it to run all the way through the scenario. I have gone so far as to replace all of the industries, annexes, traincars and engines with SMR standard stuff and at this point, it won't even start. I am going back to the drawi...

I'm afraid that this map is going to be late in coming out. Apparently I have a memory leak. I can get about 3/4 through the map when it crashes to the desktop. I tried running it on my old laptop with the same result. The actions being taken in the game at the time of the crash varies. I really hav...

I have finally reached the point of starting playability testing. All the industries, train cars, etc have been moved from my test map to the actual map and re-tested. I have a preliminary set of goals. Now I have to figure out if they are any good. This phase is the toughest. Time to get started.

I have completed the last engine for use on this map - the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad GP38 number 306. MKT_GP38_306.jpg At this point everything has been built for this map - industries, goods train cars, etc. All have passed their first test. I have map work to do as well as a bunch of odds and...

I pulled this out of mothballs as it fit what I needed for this map - the Kansas City Southern GP40 number 788.

Hi Folks,
I got another engine out of the paint shop - this is the Blacklands Railroad GP20 number 2036.

Another engine completed - the Texas and Oklahoma Railroad SD9 number 6183.
