Nice turbo scenes! Although, mechanically, I would never trust them with long distance duty out in the bush far away from mechanics.

MRL gas local tank cars have been patched from Conoco to GATX and given a GATX 6 digit number by prefixing a 10 ahead of the old number

CPKC 121-02 with a CN unit leading. Ironically, CN has it's own 121 symbol out of Halifax, NS.

Oh look, a Railfan! And It's BNSF Early Days or,"Green B Monster Rail"( The Name I thought of Burlington Northern when I was Little before It Merged with ATSF ).

Burlington Northern Railroad on The Scenic Sub (with a different Headlight Flare Texture from the File Library).

This is a great composition, but you have the same problem I have--the 3D rendering creates breaks in the rail (and probably other less obvious blemishes as well). Other screenshots below this one (like SD40-2 's ) don't have the issue. I have fiddled with my 3D settings, but can't figure out how to eliminate them. Ideas? I'm running NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 with the latest Studio Drivers from NVIDIA.

What a beautiful route - the addition of that grass does so much to make the scene look modern. I wish there was some kind of setting that could detect the colors used in ground textures and pull them out 3 dimensionally like that - it would instantly transform a lot of older routes!

The tone being somewhere from friendly to not friendly among other things...?

More formal for forums than less formal for Discord chats. Discord is great for simple conversational chat, but kinda sucks for anything that is more in-depth. Especially formatting big blocks of text for instructions or such is a pain, as more often than not, you end up sending the message instead of adding another line. And I concur with Eric's points above. If I've stepped away for awhile, I more often than not end up loosing track of the conversation except in a very slow server.

To bring us back on topic, here's a screenshot. A BNSF intermodal detouring on the (Rebuilt) FBL, heading out of Frampton.

Without the 'ATSF headlight', looks like a good base model for BN, LV, D&H, CPR, GWI, PC, EMDX GP38-2 repaints

There's a lot more differences on Discord/TSC.... the tone of the discussion, for one.

Also not a fan of having to scroll thru 100+ single line responses which could be about any one of a handful of conversations going on simultaneously.... There's really no good way to know what you may have missed over a couple days, and there's really no good way to go back a day or a week later to see what transpired.

Having threads here... far more valuable.

Eastern Region.

Beautiful engine there! Nice framing of the shot too!
