Simmer's Lotting Lab.

Looks fantastic... Jeeez how many abandoned rail stuff is in Budapest... Lots of abandoned rail tracks near to used to be industrial estates... Most of them is not functional anymore.
The service yard "relot"/reuse  is quite clever! and the new props are awesome!

Nice work Nick ,  your propensity to fill the gaps is remarquable .   May I suggest outdated/abandoned wooden sleepers too ?



Forgive me if it's already done , I do not have all your props army in mind ...

An abandoned depot, our cities can become even grimier.
Love it 

...Brick mortimer I would have to remove all the props in order to show you. When I have time I will show you the original uncut PSD's...

No rush, I was just curious how the the tracks ran, they look really 'fluid' if you know what I mean.

[Simmer2]

Thanks!!

Cedric There are literally "piles" of them in SM2 Prop Pack Vol3http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=3499


This is part of something new but yet old and lost....

I was bored a bit and started this project. The sidings are almost done.

Thank you!!! It means a "lot" (pun intended)

Drive by rusty pic dump.....SM2 Abandoned Train Depot is where those lost deliveries and forgotten dreams end up. You will find some burned out tankers too 
There is even a scrap metal handling facility across the street (how convenient)
Everything is Work In Progress.

If you want some good inspiration go look up Early Conrail and Penn Central pics.

[Simmer2]

Thanks for the likes!!

Introducing 2 more sidings to go with the set. North American tankers and Euro Tankers (for the euro crowd)
Also I made several new railcars including an entire set of "rusty and grungy"
And I'm ditching the old style bumper for the modern one. Introducing SM2 Uni-Bumper. (Why did I not think of it sooner) It took me 8 minutes to make lol.

Very nice! Is that a new GLR texture I can spot in the last few pics?

[Tyberius06]

Oh, really nice Nick!
More variety of rail cars it's always good to see them!  
Ok, you must release those retaining walls with these graffitis they are so avesome and refreshing
Hehe, new station in progress?

Really great stuff over the years.

Has the fuel depot been put on the back burner? I keep seeing screen shots with great looks at your tank trucks, fuel storage tanks and all... just askin'.

[fantozzi]

This development thread makes me suffering. It's like an illustrated book maybe titled 'the greatest wonders of sc4 industries."

You know those books about natural wonders of planet earth with those stunning pictures? And you flick through and see all those places and you realize how many beautifull spots there are you still didn't visit, you didn't even knew about? It's all the same here. A place to get itchy feet.

[Simmer2]

Gugu3 That is my prototype HSR station. Thank you.

Tibi Thanks buddy!

YouBet One day....and thanks for stopping by!

fantozzi I'm sorry you feel that way. I can feel it too. SC4 is coming to the end of the line but not before I leave my mark on one of the greatest sim ever made!!

Perhaps look at these pics for inspiration?

Totally re-did the Nippon Rail stuff, added a lot more details to the mix. The total Japan railcar count now stands at 25.

I also re-did a few more scrap metal props and machinery and of course a few more NA railcars. (I lost count)

The Japanese stuff is on that temp lot for show purpose only. Obviously they are not in the right settings.

Its all Work In Progress

Great, a dependency update  I remember that playin with this particular texture pack in lot editor, making some random custom lots for personnal use, I missed a few possibilities that I would've like to use. Maybe this update fills that - honestly I can't remember what I needed, it's been a while. Anyway, still great 

[Simmer2]

Thank you Krasner!

Now that I have 95% of the props I need, I started to compile the lots that I have in mind.
All 12  SM2 True STR sidings are now done and ready.
They range in size from 16 to 22 tiles long by 1

Overview pic
.


SM2 Rail Trash Dumper is also ready and so is SM2 Trash and Burn I made 2 separate offset lots. The dumper lot is landmark and the Incinerator lot is a fully functional waste to energy lot.
Here are several pics showing them in action, I also custom made a new cement fence (some with graffiti) to go along with the dirty theme along with a plethora of other props.

I don't think I have any words to describe how great this is! 

I am forever greatful for the work you have done on the RRW Lots and how this will tie in nicely with the projected work for the rail space of the NAM.

This keeps me motivated to keep working on the RRW and associated mods that I plan to upload once complete.

You are a true master

[bladeberkman]

Wow, this is so comprehensive, thoughtful, and awesome. I've got to prep my region for these. 

[Tyberius06]

uh, that's even more massive than I thought in the first place... Man, those sidings are really awesome!
The trash factory I just have a spot for that too.
Thank you to make these nice stuffs... Amazing job!
And thanks for the new toys (I mean props and texture to playing with!)
