Hi everyone:Well, it's not much in the way of mileage - about a half mile of work, but its a city mile - had to do more than trees. The Gainesville Diamond is a CSX/NS interchange - crossing in Gainesville, Georgia. Hope you like the pix - more in the Screenshot Forum.

RE: Georgia/SC Route Progress

as a route builder I think that you have done a splendid job so far. Literally, you are on the right track.. The scenery, I know, took some time and it isn't uncommon to spend hours doing the city aspect and not have a mile, but, that's the hard part of building, please back up back up back up, your work is too good to spoil......looks excellent!

RE: Georgia/SC Route Progress

Thanks for the comment!You're right - some people say one pixel at a time - I do it one scene at a time - minus the software crashes and the rebuilds. I carry a laptop since I'm on the road all the time - and back-up to the home computer and then back onto the laptop - if (when) it crashes, I've only lost a few days work.It's the saving every ten minutes where I get into trouble!Still at it, though. Maybe it'll be released one day. I sure want to upload this thing for the Southern and NS fans.Mark

Hi Mark,Wow, does that look like Gainesville! Well not today. Gainesville and Rome had about 5 inches of rain yesterday. With all the big chicken houses in that part of Georgia, have you figured out how to put them in your route? Also, I didn't see any kudzu in any of your screenshots. Great work. Please hurry up!Bill Burnett

Hi Bill:Thanks to Ron's "SRV_RustyChickenBarn.s" I'll have plenty of chicken houses. Kudzu - you know better than to ask. Pictures attached. The first is chicken houses. The second is what happens when you turn your back on Kudzu.Mark

Looking great! It will be nice to have a Southern route. As for the kudzu, definitely leave it out. I am sure you would get plenty of e-mails complaining about it taking over peoples computers.
Keep up the good work!Mykel

Great job of the Midland crossing! Wish I could figure how to make those diamond sounds I recorded there work in TS. Anyway, your work is superb, Mark. Hope the videos helped....

Hi John:I was going to send you an email to let you know I'd done this part of town. I might reskin some of the buildings, but if I get bogged down I'll be in Gainesville simming forever. Maybe the sound forum can help. The Trainsim is getting more sophisticated with wheel squeal, etc - so who knows where we'll wind up!I would have stopped a long time ago had it not been for the videos.Thanks for the post.Mark
