Various variousness

[styckx]

I post a lot. :)

Decided to post some of the variousness I've been up to since my departure from else where. Most of this has been posted on UKTS but I know some might not read there. YES there is UK stuff involved and I know this is RailWorks America. ;) Railroading has no boundaries in my book so, I'm a fan of anything that runs on rails.

I started messing with the world editor and started what's going to be a fantasy (not specific to any countries railroad) route. I just started tinkering with a yard/station setting at the starting point that leads out to the mainline. I'm trying VERY hard to only use IOW and Default assets. IOW because I feel it's a must have for development at its basic levels.







I started and stalled on a Conrail repaint of David Brindley's GP15. I will eventually finish it. SW1500 is keeping my brain more stimulated ATM.



I've been playing with repainting abandoned, rotting, ready for scrap locomotives. UK right now. I sort of experimented briefly doing this with some U.S. stuff but never found a good technique till recently.





This one I also repainted (new brick, weathering, boarded up the windows and doors) the station to give nice contrast to the forgotten about locomotive.



Then there is the just plain goofy stuff I've messed with.

Looks like you're off to a good start on that route.

UK stuff is no problem. As it states on the main page of the web site:

The primary goal of this site is to offer a positive environment for the development of American content for Railworks (although non-American content is quite welcomed also),

Sty, have you had a look at GOR's routes? Amazing stuff, and definately not North American.

[styckx]

Gor's routes are indeed fantastic.

No idea if this will ever be complete. I start a lot of random things and sometimes they are eventually finished, sometimes they sit on the back burner, hence this thread. Just a place to toss some screen shots of the stuff I start during play time in Photoshop. This is one of them.

Basic partial mockup of a NKP GP7. Not sure if I'm feeling this or not yet.

Something I started today. (not finished)

[styckx]

This is about done and looks great on Fort Kent. Will be a dirty and clean version.

[styckx]

Finished.





edit: Had a quick redo of the weathered one.

[Trainguy76]

I think your redo looks very nice.

Nice job on them CN units. Any chance of getting some NS ones? Also i have supplied Derek with the cab photos of this model so there will be a cab for this unit soon.

[styckx]

Thanks Alex and Eric. Maybe a NS unit. Rather easy so it shouldn't take long. I think Michael did an NS unit though but I need to add to my personal collection of SW1500 repaints anyway. I hope Derek can pencil in a cab for it. SW1500 is a vital piece of U.S. rolling stock and a cab would make a lot of people happy.

8 repaints and counting. It's only slightly one of my personal favorite locomotives for the game.

Only slightly, eh? Nice work, Sty
