Smr Simple!

The SOO GP40 number 4601 joins the fleet.

Finished up a new engine for the map - the Central Montana Rail GP9 number 1810.

Another engine joins the fleet - Idaho Northern & Pacific GP7 2094.

Hi Folks, I just finished the Northern Pacific RS1 number 951 for my new map Montana Snow. It took a while but I think it turned out looking pretty good.

Well I'm getting closer. I have finished testing, at least for now. The map looks good. Now I just have to get victory conditions into the Scenario.xml. And then there are the events - ugh. Many images to get together, but I am getting closer.

I have finished the second round of tests of all industries, train cars, etc. and have them set up on the new 17 x 17 map. Now it's on to playability testing - ugh. This will take some time as I have 5 starting points on this map and I need to make sure the map can be successfully played from each. ...

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.
