I have contributed:

It is possible to make concrete in large marshalling yards, if there is a terminal. And on the small sorting stations, where only sorting cars do the ground. For example, not far from my house sorting station "Mosselmash" where only cars are sorted on the composition, everything on the ground.

If it is not entirely clear - that I'm sorry for my English.

You are doing great! :thumbsup:

c.p.
Hump yards tend to be messy. The one I saw in operation here had almost all access roads made out of dirt, thus the reason why I made that one.

Once I finish this project I will focus on the Intermodal Terminal and we will talk more about this. Thanks!

Thank you Alan_Waters

I get the impression that concrete terminals are mostly a North American thing. European terminals seem to use simple railyard layouts with concrete decks on the side.



The cranes roll on their own tracks, so they don't need any paving.

Half done. I only have to fill the rest of the tracks with the timed trains on these.... ;D
What do you think?

Beautiful work with these yards  &apls I still think a hump yard would be unlikely to exceed the slope of the steepest conventional rails by such a massive extent though ;)

While I like both of the concrete terminal designs (in and not in between the tracks), I kind of like the idea of having the concrete in between the tracks as well as I feel like this would make the textures more usable in a possible port setup. Most of the ports I've seen pictures of have concrete between the rails so that trucks and such can move more freely. I realize this is completely different from the standard run-of-the-mill container terminal you're hoping to make, but you said that you were going to pick one as a standard. I personally lean towards the concrete-filled design being used as the standard for the above reason.

That looks really good! And so quick... &apls

One more I will come in and completely miss the main event, I'm drooling over the grass/dirt textures! Really fantasic those, it just looks realistic to have it all in broken patches like that!

P.s. I like the hump yard too  :D

Thank you all for the encouraging words!!
I will not disappoint  :thumbsup:

Once I have all the lots finalized, the only thing left will be to write a PDF document illustrating how the parts will fit together.
This project will need a small tutorial to make sure it all works.

PS. Thank you Vizoria for the KP!

This is a seriously cool looking hump yard, excellent texture and lotting work! I'm also completely mesmerized by that water texture in particular - that is ridiculously realistic looking! :thumbsup:

I added a new level of realism. Why not.
Spring loaded retarders, they are used to catch the first train cars that run to the end of the hump yard.

Such as this one..


And so I redid 57 new rail textures..
