To me it looks like a great video Vil

Looks great Sepsis! I like the rail yard

szergej279 · June 22, 2009, 10:38:37 AM

Good-looking one, Sepsis!

However, the catenaries are a bit strange, over more than one tiles the usage of such an amount of pylons isn't very common. I saw a pylon in the middle of the track. And in real life, Ludmillas rarely date with American locomotives

But that's just some hair-splitting from a traingeek like me

Here's a mosaic from me:

Enjoy

Great rural mosaic io_bg! It looks really nice

FrankU · June 23, 2009, 07:18:37 AM

Yes, this is a very good use of the SFBT railyard stuff!
Maybe they can use this image for a tutorial? It shows a lot of good detail.

Pity though that the base textures are different... As I used these lots I tended to stop using them, because I disliked the texture mess. But maybe I am a bit too perfectionist, because that problem will always stay except if I start relotting everything as I wish. But I won't do that...

Ioan, Corey, Sepsis, great railyards

Sepsis, can you tell me, where did you find this brown flat roofed warehouse?

Frank, instead of lotting, try to make texture replacement mod

Amtrak7 · June 23, 2009, 12:47:12 PM

Sepsis: How did you get gates (not wigwags) on avenues?? I downloaded the mod from the STEX, but I can't seem to get the gates.

sepsis · June 23, 2009, 03:29:30 PM

Amtrak: Have no idea. I thought gates were game default.
Gwail: Search for Newman Inc Shipping on STEX.

Good idea, but I have no idea how I should do that...
The only replacement that would work is one without texture, because the wide radius and Farr pieces have no base texture. So I use the no-rail-dirt-texture mod by Swamper and Pegasus. But then; many lots do have a base texture. Is it simple to make a mod that removes these textures?

Figured I'd finally post some of my own

In the city of Trondheim near the port/industrial area:

In the town of Kiruna:

@sepsis: Comrade, nice picture! But you really should secure that railway / tram crossing with signals if it absolutely needs to be there!

@Maxim1110: *sigh* Now that you have that nice avenue underpass do you really think that level crossing just next to it is necessary?

Maxim1110 · June 30, 2009, 03:55:46 AM

Well yeah, because if you could see the rest of it you'd know that it isn't possible to make the road intersect with the avenue later, so that's why I did that.

FrankU · June 30, 2009, 08:26:52 AM

Yes, we will believe you if you say so, but Nardo69, being a railroad geek, is disturbed by the fact that you make a very expensive underpass for the road, which is mostly meant for safety, and then next to it you make this very unsafe level crossing. Thus destroying all functionality of the underpass.
On the other hand: we all have Simoleons enough and we want to have fun, so a traincrash here and there could be considered part of the fun.
