Tram Variations


here are the variations i have done yet. cobblestones grey and dark, pavement, asphalt, concrete and lawn.
the lawn still needs its pattern sorted out and the asphalt should be a little lighter i think.

Tram Tracks


even more distraction from the other projects...

but since i had the shape already built anyway and there is some demand for them i thought i might just do a couple of variations.
here is the first:

Arth Goldau



Arth Goldau is the starting point for my Gotthard project. Here the lines from Luzern and Zürich meet and continue through the valleys for a little while before the steep north ramp begins.
So far the trackwork has been accurately recreated with custom track and now some of the more important buildings are being made to outfit the station.

At the inspection Pit


Just built this inspection pit for depots, textures will still be improved. Its automatically made up from two different kinds of track, no fiddling to get the stairs in the right position or anything.

View from the Cab



Thats a very wip Arth-Goldau Station from an equally wip cab of the Ae 6/6, i hope to make some more progress on both during the next few days.

Ae 6/6 is going green

With the base texture almost finished i tried it out in Tannengrün to test how it looks in the other traditional SBB livery.



Here is 11415 bearing the coat of arms of Kanton Thurgau climbing the Gotthard north ramp.

SBB Ae 6/6

One of the most famous Swiss engines is the Ae 6/6, the mighty Gotthardlok especially built to tame the demanding Gotthardbahn.



50 years later, despite being mostly superceded on the Gotthard line by the Re 6/6, those rugged engines still remain in service.



The Rail Simulator version will hopefully come in all its various appearances, with the chrome finished Kantonsloks in red and green for starters.

Cab and sounds shall be made as well, but i haven't even started on them yet...

If you're able to understand the German language then read more on those engines on the truly fantastic website of SBB Driver Bruno Lämmli.
