Railworks America

Finally decided which route I would like to pour all my time into, The Clovis sub. The Clovis Sub connects Belen NM with Clovis NM and is a very heavy bnsf mainline route, Roughly 100 trains pass though Belen nm to enter this sub daily. As of tonight as i type this i have completed the BNSF Belen Yard, well i completed the track and most of the track related stuff (turn table, gas pumps, etc.) I will update this as i finish more and more.

Great start ! Remember to back up often!

Will be looking forward to it.

Trackwork is looking good so far.

Right now I'm trying to think if i should keep the ATSF scale rail tracks for the yard, or switch them out with the tracks that came with Sherman hill or Marias pass, What do you guys think i should do? Also i plan to use the Marias pass mainline track outside of Belen and from then on since the scale rail doesn't have super elevation.

Well if the real route has Concrete Ties on the track, use Marias or the Sherman Concrete Track, if the real route has Wooden tracks, use the Sherman Wooden Tracks.

I mean its no real big deal, the ATSF Scale Rail can be downloaded from the 3D trains website as freeware and i think i can easily replace the yard tracks, if not ill just leave it as is since i really don't want to spend another 4-5 hours relaying all the track

I always like ScailRail and people don't have to buy something to use it unless they want the excellent HD payware version.

FWIW, the track in Sherman Hill is ScaleRail. It just happens to be contained within the SH route folder, however.

Never knew that, am i wrong when i say the ATSF freeware ScaleRail has no super elevation? Or am i just doing something wrong?

I believe I updated the TrackRules long go. Give it a try.

Just want to echo my vote for Scalerail. I'm a big fan of it as well and always am happy to see it as well as the other scalerail assets used.

Just a small update, starting to work on the scenery around the Belen yard before i move on because why not
Also so far this routes uses assets from Portland Terminal, Marias Pass, Sherman Hill, The Surfliner and ATSF Freeware ScaleRail.

Last Update for today. Not really liking how the scenery looks so far (might just be me being the perfectionist i am) Let me know what you guys think. (should i add more? less? Change certain things?)

Looks good. Don't be afraid to use the color green for deserts. I did this using assets from Marias Pass.
