Defect_Detector( Sorry, It Somehow Un-Did Reply @ Last Min. ): BNSF H2 SD70ACE!? I can see it actually being a great Heritage Repaint in Real Life!

Shawn,
The dirt road catches my eye. Is it hand painted - specifically the gravel edges? I know I have seen this (one of my routes somewhere) but always wanted to go back and redo many dirt roads to have this look. Just couldn't figure out how to start.
I know how to paint with TSRE5, just need to know what I am using for the textures.

At a quick glance it appears that's a dirt road piece with alpha-equipped textures. I think the shader normally used on road pieces doesn't allow transparency, so the shapes were probably modified. Easy enough to change, but a bit tedious to actually do it

Scale Roads 2 lane dirt sections, I used the textures from the TS Mullan Pass. Eventually I want to either paint the road in, or leave as is and raise the terrain a bit better for the road. Haven't fully decided yet.

I have it somewhere then. It looked so "blended" into the grass, it almost looked painted.

I am unfortunately not that skilled, haha.

Decided to swap out some trees from those of the CN Ruel Sub. The birch tree still is in play though, for now.
