Carolina Southern Route

Unread postby Noel » Sun Apr 14, 2013 5:57 pm

Ok, since I am making repaints, I might as well spill the beans.

I am working on a big project. And when I say big, I mean BIG. I am going to do the section of track from Norfolk Southern's Pomona Yard in Greensboro, NC, to the Norfolk Southern Yard off of Dalton Avenue in Charlotte, NC.

I need someone thats good at making ReDem stuff to make the ReDem Data, because I tried it twice already, and it did not turn out well.
Here is a pic of how long it is going to be. What I need is between the two orange blips:

I know they are hard to see, but I need it.
This is going to be my primary project, and it's going to be HUGE. (no pun intended)

Thank you and have a nice day,
Noel.

Noel, I can't say this strongly enough. START SMALL. Learn the tools and tweaks. Crash the editor a few times so you don't get that rush of depression when it happens on your larger routes. Remember the larger the route, the harder to start over.

Second word of advice. Find someone to help you with a large route. On your own it will take years to finish, with help it can be cut in half. The more the merry.

Ok, following Marc's example,

I have downloaded the data. I cannot seem to find out what to do from here.

It's on hold for an indefinite period of time.

Hmm, that route is the exact route the the North Carolina Piedmont uses... as well as the carolinian. Its a nice route, and I always wander to the front of the train just to hear the diesel. Like the sound of the those EMD 710 series diesel. Can't go wrong with them.
