        The texture work on the buildings along the Black Butte sub, are simply amazing. Living in Vermont for 7 years, I would occasionally see a barn similar to this from time to time throughout the state!

          Some Shasta Starlight action. Power is from a buddy of mine, everything else is straight out of the "box".

          Forgot I had made this drumhead a while back, and while it's not accurate for the time, decided to throw it on anyway.

            There's few trains in the later SP era that are more iconic than the Swift roadrailer train, and even more ubiquitous to those of us who grew up in that era were the massive fleet of SD40M-2's. The 40M-2's rebuilt from whatever MPI had around led to wild combinations of exterior parts/carbody differences across the fleet. My personal favorites of the bunch are the fleet of former SDP45's.

              Nice SDP45s! Can't help but think those would pair up nicely with a snoot SD40T-2!

              TOFC getting out of Mount Hebron with a nice pair of GP60s and a GP40-2.

                      Very nice.
                      What's your fps running on that route?

                        I've made plenty of those as well. I grew up with the SP; so there's not much I haven't done, just needed the route to run it on and PerryPlatypus and the gang knocked it out of the park.

                          Been doing some experimenting with forest objects and terrain blending on the old Horseshoe route. ALPI and ML-417 seen at mid-grade "MG" and ML-417 again at the Allegheny Tunnel east portal.
