  • Welcome to the Pennsylvania & Berwind, a route 6 years in the making.
    *UPDATE*
    Since this video is somehow still my highest viewed video, please take a moment to see the latest tour of this route, updated and completed in 2018: • Trainz: Pennsylvania &...
    ----
    Happy New Year!
    Time for a special New Year's bonus episode! Here we will take a tour through the entire route starting with Juanita Yard and heading east through the many industries that make the P&B such a fabulous route to operate.
    Thanks for all the support in 2016, let's keep the momentum through 2017!

      I see after nearly 20 years, they still haven't fixed that.
      Crossings that don't cross. Rail/Rail and Rail/Road, neither type is recognized by the game as a crossing.

    • @jmtrainz2582
      @jmtrainz2582 4 роки тому

      You have to manually make a working crossing. There is no automatic system when splines cross.

    Very interesting design. I came from Tom's Trains and Things and I love what I see. So I subscribed right away.
    Not having space nor the money for a real model setup I found the simulator way of building a layout amazing. What I know is Train Simulator (I think it's the name, I'm on my phone so can't check the game on my PC) and thought it's a great game it does cost a lot when you want to add all the extra train types to the base game.
    I'll check out more of your videos and hope you'll upload new ones soon. 👍😉🇧🇪

    • @ApproachMedium
      @ApproachMedium  7 років тому +1

      Yeah Train Simulator tends to be a bit pricy. Trainz has a ton more quality freeware available and is much easier to use. The learning curve isn't very steep to get the basics going.

    If you're looking for a ton of information on tipples, do a google search for Appalachian Model Railroading, there's lots or articles on tipples, coal hauling and such. One thing that strikes me as that usually at a tipple, the mine itself is miles away and the coal is brought in via a conveyor. The one's you've built with the parking lots and admin offices remind me more of coal processing plants, which receives coals fresh from the tipples. The majority of tipples are on a branch, with a couple of trucks parked for the guys operating the coal chutes that day!

    @sawyerawr5783 7 років тому

    wow that looks good! (sorry for the late posting, for some reason only came across this now!) The one thing I wanted to mention was it seems like the yard ladders in Alleghany and Grafton are really steep for switching...admittedly I'm guilty of making my yard ladders too long and space hogging. But some of them almost seem like no. 4 switches...and no. 6-8s might be better (if you don't mind the model RR lingo being introduced).
    One other minor thing I wanted to mention (but certainly isn't the biggest deal) is that every industry doesn't necessarily "have" to have a destination point for where it's product ships also on the P&B. Now, that's just my own personal design philosophy when I build (or when I did...haven't been able to build for about a year thanks to a move, and as a result not having my gaming computer set up), and obviously you do what you want, not what I'd do! either way, I look forward to seeing this route sometime in the future...and inevitably cramming coal and water towers in so I can run my beloved steam engines--because in my whacked-out head the steam era never died in the trainz universe, lol.

    Amazing video of your route. I also use TANE to build commuter rail and branch line shuttles. The scenery, counties, yards and route creativity is awesome and inspires me to complete my route in Trainz. Did you use a DEM or created the topography by hand?

    • @ApproachMedium
      @ApproachMedium  7 років тому +2

      Thank you! I created all the topography by hand. That's why some of it so just absolutely terrible. It's not an easy thing to do but I found it's better to use a larger "Brush" to get gentler hills and grades.

    I think you're referencing Suffern Yard? Its right underneath where I-287 and Route 17 meet. Its an NS yard that has 2 locals originating from it with a road train that goes into it a few times a week. Im not sure about the northbound local, but the southbound local switches out a nabisco plant in Fair Lawn, NJ. It is also the end of NJT's Bergen Line where NJT crews swap ends for the return back to Hoboken.

  • @MegaMattMorris
    @MegaMattMorris 7 років тому +1

    A little suggestion, you could make Grafton yard on the site of an old shallow water port and add derelict wharves etc, and make a modern port through a tunnel where large ships can export coal from there. Have a look at Christchurch on Google maps, the cities's old port is located on the Heathcote River estuary near Ferrymead (on the site of the preserved Ferrymead Railway) and the new port is a huge port town (Lyttelton) on the other side of a tunnel in a deepwater harbour. This very New Zealand-ey but food for thought.... Route is coming along beautifully! Thanks from the other side of the world :)

    Hey man, how does the ai work? Do you use portals to spawn them or do you have a fixed number of sets?

      You can use portals or just assign them to trains in driver mode.
