Hey all ~

Where can we find the best assets for all things nautical?

For me, I'm building a coastal switching terminal set in the late 1950's. So assets like modern container ships don't really help. But any other ships would be very helpful. I'm equally interested in cranes, docks, and any port-specific industries such as grain elevators, breakbulk freight piers, and the like.

I DO know (and recommend) fully well of the following:

- Maine Maritime Route (a few solid ship assets)
- Bessemer & Lake Erie Route (Conneaut harbor)
- RW&A Route (ore docks)

But I'm looking for more. And I know better ship and harbor assets are out there because of the SS Poseidon asset within the "Models" section of the File Library. The picture shows many ocean-going vessels in addition to the passenger ocean liner, but also shows realistic port cranes. I've looked all over the internet where these assets might be found and I've found nothing - neither on this website or others.

And if anyone has any tips on how to mash together other assets to make something like this below...



So I'll take any suggestions! Please be specific as to where we can find such assets. I don't mind going to other third-party creators either. Anything and everything nautical for Train Simulator, let's compile it all here!

The Caledonia Works/GAD Pre-WWII Asset Pack has a lot of good industrial assets, including port cranes (not the same model as in the SS Poseidon picture, though). You can get it here: https://www.golden-age-developments.co.uk/assets.html

Try the Raquette Lake Railway from Steam Workshop.

Search for Captain_Bazza's content on https://www.elvastower.com/

You will find about 8 or 9 Ships to download for RW/TS. Some of the names to look for are
Coastal Tanker
SS_Kent
Ryde
Dragline _dredge
Derelict_suctn_dredge
Gwendolyne
Marmaduke
Infanta
Note that some of his ship models are for MSTS and Open Rails.
