OK, here are a few:

[NSFAN]

What route is that there with those N&W units...judging by the bridge I'd have to say it's the Pocohantas Div between Blue Field, W.Va and Williamson, W.VA

[CPR_Malice_96th]

I was about to ask the same question

What route is that ?

One screen shot looks like Sandpatch

Later

[plainsman]

These were all shot on Ohio Rail 10. It is a really good route for running NS or CSX equipment. I think Rich is working it back to West Virginia.

This one looks like Sandpatch....That pick-up truck is definitly in the Kicking Horse Pass for sure

Now that you mention Ohio 10, the rest of those shots look familliar

( I have yet to purchase sandpatch for some reason !! )

[plainsman]

I am sorry Tim, my post was confusing, I was only refering to the ones I shot as Ohio 10. I don't know about the others?
Sorry,

How did you get that NS's texture so high?

[plainsman]

An SD60 and SD50 lead a merchant freight up a steep grade in Ohio.
8713 should be in the library in a few days, Thanks Phil!

[TrueNorth]

If you mean the #8326. I tweaked it a bit using Polyview, which I saw suggested by somebody else on the forum.

I'll I did was one sharpen & then lowered the contrast with the slider until I could see the detail.

Found the software here.

Are those NS and CR screens have standard-cab SD70s in them?
Mike

[CP3084]

found these two on a rack train on Marias Pass.

[sd90mac123]

Hey Andy cant YOU make these for msts as well?

[realsquash]

I don't think MSTS would handle the polycount on these guys! I've been concentrating on Trainz because it's just more fun to operate for me. Maybe someday I'll look into making them work in MSTS!

[realsquash]

>Are those NS and CR screens have standard-cab SD70s in them?
>Mike

Indeed they are spartan cab SD70's. I've done the NS and Conrail so far, I'm still working on the IC paint scheme. I'll take some more pix and post them tonight when I get home. I don't have any good shots on my website yet (NS engines are really dark at night :))

Andy

[Unknown]

Where can I get those SD70M's?¿

[realsquash]

The will be available in the coming few weeks. I've got a ton of stuff that I'll be releasing at the same time (at www.digitalroundhouse.com ). The are all still betas so some things are not done/right (rear numberboards on the NS SD70's, wrong shade of colors, etc).

Andy

A few more screenshots!

Still trying to figure out what color the roof is supposed to be...

Now for those SD70M'...do those have custom cabs/sounds?

[realsquash]

I'm still modelling the cabs but yes, they all will have the proper cabs. The CN SD70/75I with control stand, spartan cabs with the proper control stand and flatpanel monitors, and there are two types of desktop controls that I am making.

They will have custom sounds also. I'm hunting sounds this weekend :)
