Remove the hub caps

[dejoh]

Had a 67 GMC van, same design, same color(solid green) Three on the tree. Drove that puppy all over the USA, back in the days.
Oh, I had baby moons for hub caps.

Look forward to it.

Any news on the size stats of those stations?

And what kind of church would you like for the route, I need to build one.


Also, do you have any more reference of some more style buildings you'd like for the route.

There is some news on this project again, I bought myself a new Notbook this week (Acer Aspire 772G), due to the fact that it had a SSD in it, I decided that i also needed one in my PC .

Didn't have a lot of time to build on the route, but here is some progress. The last 'Void' between Mapleton and New Holland is gone! While not 100% done yet, there is atleast some scennery at every place now between New Holland and Millcreek. When all this is done (hopefully before summer starts, but time will tell...) The first Beta will appear here on RWA.

Today, The B&M did and Excursion trip over the NHT with a GE44 and Dinercar.

Here are the screens from the B&M Excursion Trip to New Holland :

The route is looking great, more buildings to come real soon as well.


But I think we should wait a little while longer before the first beta though, at least until summer, since it takes a little while to build assets and I have many more to do for the route in the meantime.

Coming up next will be the firetruck and a fire station, as well, I also want to get a police station built as well, and we need a 60's ambulance.


Alright, it won't be long now and I'll be sending this over in a while.

Did they have light bars back then?

[jpetersjr]

Some reference pictures I found said they did, but I'm probably going to change it to the round ones though.

Did they have light bars back then?

Most of the originals from that time period had a single red "gumball". Modernized equipment (saved from the scrap yard for small time fire departments) had light bars and newer pumping and rescue equipment. If you can't afford the mega bux for new equipment, a fairly solid older rig with an engine overhaul and newer "stuff" saves many thousands $$$$$$.

The Iowa is right next to a LAFD fire boat station, I go over and chat with those guys all the time. Saw this question before I went down there today, stopped and asked if anyone knew about this.

Sorry, back on Topic!

Yes, I was kind of thinking that I want to replace the light on the firetruck.

As well though, I also want to do a fireboat for the route and regular 60's boats.

Can you get me any reference of a proper fireboat from the 60's from those at the fireboat corporation?


Also, I'm going to be a lot more assets for the route as well, so far the list of custom assets for the route is growing big and there's many more to come.




Once the route does come out even if won't don't have the HSC the route will still be a must to download if one wants the free custom assets that will be coming with the route.

Something coming up for the route, there's still a lot of work left to do on this before it will be finished, but guess what it's going to be.

By the way, some recent progress on Eleanor.

Still a lot more work to do on it, but it's slowly starting to look more like a car.

P.S, the 1968 Ford Mustang fastback will also be a special to come with the route as well. Also, I'm going to also try to finish up the Ford Edsel as well and it will also come along with the route if it is successfully completed, don't know yet.

[jpetersjr]

Also, something coming up for the route, can anyone tell me if Cracker Barrel existed in the 60's?

Also, there's a reason why I need to build a Cracker Barrel for the route, and here it is.

Also, next I want to do a couple more factories as well, and I still need to do some restaurants.

[jpetersjr]

Alright, as promised, here's the start on the van for the route.
