Love me some boats.

Taking off the bar code dates it to mid 60s, so not so new .
No ditch lights. Ew.

Kind of a bad spot for the door texture, wasn't thinking.

Very nice scene, Randy.
ACI (Automated Car Identification) "bar code" was initiated in 1968 as I recall. It was abandoned in the mid-70s because it wasn't practical in a railroad environment.

Thanks Andre,
I know it was something like that.
Tomorrow I'm taking my son and we're driving to Omaha where we're getting on the California Zephyr and taking it to Glenwood Springs just to hang out for a few days.
Sort of a boy's day away.

Finally had time to finish up the roundhouse.
The doors came out ok, I guess. Wish they had more thickness.

Anybody know of a better 27m turntable? This is the default it operates but not much else.

Looks hot, humid and sticky. I'd have every window and vent open !
I like your roundhouse shots, especially with the U-25B, and yes, I like the U-boats too. I loved how they sounded like a steam locomotive chugging through town with a heavy train.

Randy, your roundhouse looks great. :good:
I made my own roundhouse and 27m turntable models for my Seaview mini installation. It took some trial and error to get the geometry and animation right.

I could share it with you for your route, but it will replace the existing 27m model in every route that uses it unless you make changes to your global tsection.dat.

Jonatan,
I only have a couple routes that share the global folder for this installation and replacing the default turntable will go a long way towards making them better.
Any help is appreciated.
Next up. Passenger accommodations.

What's the basic model you're using? Looks like a good one.
