Its starting to speed up alittle. Laying a lot of track and doing signals first, then will add scenery. Bracket masts are still and issue and I can tell right now the water tower at Miller City will be a problem. Since the G-Trax assets are needed I'm trying to reskin the SD40-2 that came with it so I can include it in the download, problem, RWTools only makes a new folder and doesnt copy the inner folders to it. Trying to do NS 3445 before it was repainted, so in CR Blue with a patch. Any help.

Update: Well I'm catching up by doing scenery in McComb and Miller City and even wrote a scenario, just beware the foam when there is CNW and SP on the Fostoria District.
Since there are no bracket masts for TS2013 I improvised and did what NS will do sometime this year in Miller City, the NKP masts are from the 40's and are super old.

Also got some track charts from a friend, they resulted in this happening:

Also I can't figure out how to change speed limits, any suggestions would be nice.
Just a random screenshot of Leipsic:

About the patch, can you send a pic? I'll have it done in 9-10 days cause I'm busy at the moment.

http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPi ... ?id=664288 I was going to do a white patch on a Conrail Quality SD40-2 with auto numbering but The textures kept getting all crazy. Same thing with the GP40 only a different type of crazy.

I won't be able to do auto numbering, but I'll do that one when I get home.

It's okay, NS never rotates power around here, it's usually the same loco on L75 and L70 for weeks. NS 3366 will be fine, thank you.

That's what makes this line fun. You won't have to change your engines for a while. !*roll-laugh*!

NS 3317 used to work L75 and then was gone and came back with a chopped nose, admiral cabs aren't as cool as high hoods.

What's a bracket mast? Do you happen to have reference pics? I currently doing SP searchlights, but also plan to add other types as things progress.

There are a couple left on the line I am modeling. The bulbs in SMMs signals are flipped but that's no big issue. It's just the masts that I can't recreate.

Ah, so - I'm needing a couple myself. Do you have any larger images of the ones you need? The one from your Flickr page is about the size of a postage stamp. !**duh*!!

That is a great pic of this, I started playing around with making one last week using the small picture as a reference but hung it up cuz I just could get it to look right.
