Don't have a recording of that one. Should have taped my oldest son conducting the "percussion section" of the 1812 Overture at the Madison 4th of July celebration;
That's Master Sergeant James P Ward on the far right with the green chemlight stick, trying to read 73 pages of sheet music while signaling to the howitzer crews.
Well, some pics;
Set up with the commuters backing into the station from one track;
And departing on a different one, come in from the south and depart southeast or come from the southeast and depart south. Got about half a dozen portals involved in all this for short distance runs.
Timing portals can be tricky, looks like the best way is to set them all to spawn at the same time and give them waiting points to control arrival times. Two commuters every 8 minutes and two express every 16 means every other movement will have four trains instead of two and so far they're always synchronized. Converted one of the bilevel push-pull scoot cars to an engine with a cabview and working controls, but I'm still trying to figure out how to change the taillights into headlights. Also still trying to work out what the minimum track spacing is to keep the map arrows from overlapping and getting all confused, I've seen a few default routes where I couldn't figure out which switch I was throwing in places with multiple crossovers and yard ladders.Last edited by sniper297; 09-09-2010, 14:09.sigpic

I dunno, sunglasses? He's at Fort Sill right now, when he's back in town I'll ask him.
Uploaded stuff, the E8 I uploaded a few days ago;
Chicago Metro E8A,<kuid:522774:1087>
Packaged up the scoot cars, should be on the download station sometime today;
Chicago Metro Bi-level Commuter car,<kuid:522774:1159>
Chicago Metro bi-level push-pull cab car,<kuid:522774:1152>
The cab car works as an engine if you reverse it on the end of the train, has a cabview but no headlights. Whadd'ya mean you want pictures? Oh right, it IS the screenshot forum!
