The chimney (stack?) smoke has to be the icing on the cake! I wasn't expecting that! !*roll-laugh*!
"Life is like a journey, taken on a train
With a pair of travelers at each windowpane.
I may sit beside you all the journey through,
Or I may sit elsewhere, never knowing you.
But if fate should mark me to sit by your side,
Let's be pleasant travellers; it's so short a ride."

You know what one of my favorite new features in this route is? The roller-bearing end caps on the freight cars actually rotate as the cars move:



I just love little details like that.

*!lol!* Thanks Brennan ... as the saying goes, "practice makes perfect", or at least a bit better each time :D

That last piece took a day to make. I could do the parts quicker if I cut corners on the texturing (which takes as long as making the geometry), but I think it's worth the extra time to make it look more real.

By the way, when I test the loco (what there is of it so far) in game, I'm still getting 60fps. TS2013 is really good now at handling this level of detail.

Not to be smart, but that's what you said last go round! !*roll-laugh*!
