I sort of agree with you, there are enough to warrant their own section or Forum even.

I for one am only interested in "Domestic" railroading, Canada mainly and U.S. Fallen Flags. I would prefer to see what I am interested in rather than search past the entries only to find nothing of interest to me. Just a personal opinion.

I believe that to be export model ...... different are the same paintings.
How about BB40Wm ??

I guess I'll open Pandora's Box (or if you prefer, the Pandorica), the cat out of the bag, pick your metaphor: after some discussion with Brody, I decided to begin a project that I had gathered some data and resources a while ago - a route project I hereby dub "The Northern California Route" - taking on the UPRR from around Cape Horn, CA to Salinas, CA. This entails much of the routes not present in the simulator (in a similar approach that Frank Christ began many years ago if anybody remembers that Cal-P route he started). For now, I decided t aim towards the middle and build from scratch, the Martinez, Niles, Coast, Oakland subdivisions and the many shortlines and branches from the mainlines before doing the rest of Northern California. I started work on the route from Woodland, CA (my current hometown, so to speak) and headed to Sacramento, and from there turned my work to the west towards the proposed end of the route. I decided on this project as I got a little bored with my fictional railroad, and wanted a fresh approach for some reality.
On a side note, I recently repainted a few BLW passenger cars to fit with my YSLR pack I uploaded here a couple years ago. I'll release them here after I get permissions and the like, but here's a preview of the YSLR on home rails for the first time since I started working with MSTS/ORTS in 2009.











The caboose is SLI, the locomotive is from my YSLR Pack.

It started off as the original Surfliner cabcar, that a friend and I redid the textures on, and I built a new FA for to relocate the horn, add the beacon, and redo the lights to better reflect the original light package they were built with, then blanked for the traditional triangular light placement.

I knew it was a freight animation. Where can I find that piece?

Bwyrick, where's you get the California cab car horn on the roof? I know it's similar to 3DTrains' models but I've been searching for it for some time.
