The Elmdale ones look GREAT! The second one even has the bent over milepost! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Not sure about the Godfrey one...there is no parking lot next to the building where you have the trucks placed. :P

Great job on these, Nick!

The basic CSX Geeps and the SD40-2 are from Streamlines.ca. They cost 9.99 I think for the pack. Unfortunately the Seaboard Geep, YN1 Geep and the SD40-2 I custom painted for the sim. The pack is still worht the money for 1 YN3 and 1 YN2 Geep and SD40-2.The Helm leasing loco I did and will be avalable from eslw.org . As for the parking lot, I guess Ill move the building over and get rid of the trucks.

Not really. You need TGATool and MS paint and basically thats it. I use Paintshop Pro. As for GTW routes, I dont think Ill be doing anymore with GTW. It depends what Im nto when Im out of my CSX phase here. I started the MMRR/GRE route for MSTS and would like to finish that. I had trackage from Elmdale to Lowell and to Ionia.

Im trying to bump up the "wow" factor of my route so I will be photoskinning any building I need to custom build. I would like to, but I wont be able to, skin every railroad crossing signal box like shown here. I also skinned the Ensel yard office. And i like the results. :)

Ignore that 1st and 3rd box, different pics for different purposes ya know. :P
And because i love this building too much, and my previous "throw it together job" no longer satisfys me, Im completely rebuilding the Grand Ledge MOW Depot.
Image
Ive spent a half hour on my photoskinned one and its not even close to done and Id rather use that then the crappy one I did a few months ago. If anyone has any pics of a building from GR to Lansing that absolutely needs to be modeled, please send them to me at NickRose_242AThotmail.com. And Ill throw it on the pile. 8)
