Some shots downtown.

West end of Muskego Yard. Still trying to find a wide enough bridge for the 6 tracks down there. Just getting started and I expect to accurately represent the area. Keepin' this one completely freeware so a little less variety building-wise, but still.


Some shots of the CP lake job working the Port. Just got the first couple structures down there, but I really like the switching side of things (Can't wait to get to the CN Amron Spur, too bad we can't accurately perform the flying drop maneuver, cause they do it down there).

Holy carp, Shi, that looks fantastic! Very nice work!

[shicoe30]

Thanks for the compliments y'all. Decals took a dump again. Anyone know of an easy way to rename a series of files?

[WCL6655]

Awwww that sux......This looks like such a sweet route to run.....I so wanna run stuff on there.........



Only option I can think of is make the route in TRS maybe????

[shicoe30]

Nah, the route is still fine, it just for some strange reason decides it doesn't like the decals after a while, so I rename the decal files, go in and delete all the milk bottles, and continue working. Also thinking about trying to get into modelling some buildings so I don't have to ask people to do it for me. That's a big challenge though, and for now, life is frustrating enough, and I don't have time to learn a whole new skillset. Also, painting a GEVo is harder than I thought.

Currently I'm using this freeware: FilenameFix

There are many others though payware (free test): MultiRenamer, Batch File Rename etc.

Thanks Machinist. Got things worked out. Just had to redo some decals again. Got mad at it and painted up an IC SD40-3 to work the local jobs on the CN. (They commonly use IC 6201-6204 for locals and rock/sand trains, with an IC GP40R, and some miscellaneous CN geeps around here). Planning on finishing this one up and doing 6202, 6203, and 6204.

Well, for starters you can download the freeware Google Sketchup and try to make something in it. I use Google Sketchup to build my items and then when I finish them I export them out of the program. Also, I've placed a guide to creating buildings in google sketchup here in the misk section.

Slow but steady progress, should have some shots of Milwaukee sometime in the near future.

[WCL6655]
