From my experience, I believe there's a process that should be kept in mind. Follow these steps if you are familiar with TSRE.

Step 1 - Each piece of animation has a set of schematics you should...

Anyone interested in assisting me in route-building the northern sector of the FEC from Jacksonville to St. Augustine, FL? I'm surprised somebody repainted some FEC GEVO's but nobody decided to build...

From what I understand, it depends on where you install TGAtool2A and AceIt.

Brandon,

For one, good luck on the ET44C4's. BNSF is the only purchaser of that particular unit. And do note that I know people that can replicate the SD70ACe-T4 units (ex. EMDX 1603-1604). By the...

GECX ET44AC #2025 and KCS ET44AC #5004 both are leading the U-MADALL taconite empties back to Allouez, WI, to head back to KeeTac to pick up more. A personal wintery touch on my BNSF Hinckley Sub...

Happy New Year to everybody on TrainSim! I created this thread for virtual winter railfanning since it's a beautiful time for people to see the trees, hills, and mountain areas blanketed with snow or...

In reply to your question @qballbandit,

This is private, but I just wanted to show you my talent when it comes to route-building. I know people like myself that get our hands dirty in that arena....

So today, two days before Xmas, I present to you an updated track schematic of the NorTransCon, because I built extra trackage from Aldrich to Wadena. Added some scenery in Wadena where US-71 crosses...

I've been working on my NorTransCon route since coming out of quarantine, and I figured I'd give the train-sim community a little background on my experience working with ORTS routes, this one in...

My wish? A version of the Minnesota Arrowhead's taconite/iron-ore routes (CN Missabe Sub and BNSF Casco-Lakes Subs).

Been dealing with a lot of health issues lately. That and a lack of enthusiasm in repainting engines and freight stock, so I turned to the TSRE5 route editor finally and started building the East...

Spitz,

I use Imgur to store my screenshots of all my ORTS ops. I take my time to use the feature instead of uploading an image that can't be zoomed in otherwise. You can store unlimited pictures...

CSX needs all the help they can get. :)

A coal train led by BNSF SD70ACe #1201 (50-Year BN Special Edition) and BNSF SD70MAC #9839 heads out of Belle Ayr Mine, destined for Becker, MN (Sherco).

Tobin is where we catch the CSX ES44AH duo...

We head to Missoula, Montana, on a cold and snowy November morning, and (lo, and behold) an eastbound H-MISLAU (led by CSXT ES44AH #3031) winds the curve past the Buckerfield's warehouse.
...

So we're heading towards Gillette one day, and we catch two Union Pacific SD70AH's leading a PGEX coal empty.

Absolutely, you're correct. I'll decrease brightness using Paint.net which I use to repaint locomotives. :)

There are new "whale-back" exhaust panels that are characteristic of Tier-4 GEVO such as the GECX 2021. The original stack design has been on the ES44 locomotives since late 2003, when the AC44EV and...

It is time I announce the addition of 20 locomotives to the ORTS fleet, with each railroad bearing 4 of them. All repaints of locomotives are in DDS format, with the exception of minor details (they...

BNSF SD70ACe #8447 leads the H-ALNLAU out of Alliance, Nebraska. This train is destined for Laurel, Montana.
