Thought I'd share a little something I'm working on. It's a 2 square route. Has two towns in it and I want to add a third. So far, this is all that I've done. Most all of the track is layed though, and everything seems to be working.
There are 3 logging camps up the mountain and a mill down in Rocky Ridge.
This is a shot of Flat Top which is just down off the mountain...

There doesn't seem to be any 'fine tuning' of ground texturing so I can't really make the ground as I want it. I could use help with texturing the ground. So far, it all looks the same. Drab for sure...
I'd like to run a 'dirt' eve under the track... The track is there and the ballast but I'd like a narrow clearing along side all the track.

It looks as though this place needs a boarding house. Something like, Randa's rooms to let or Flannagan's Flop House. LOL

Thanks,

Rick, look into Mosaic. You can do anything you want to ground textures with that.

Nice start Rick :)

Mosaic is available from Digital rails

http://www.digital-r...osaic_info.html

Well worth the money, especially on a small tile route like yours where you could really go to town on the textures. Have a look on this thread to see what can be done with it...

Sorry, I should have been more specific. I keep forgetting you're relatively new to the MSTS side.

I'm having the same problem as I transition to the RailWorks world. I'm unfamiliar with the available tools there.
