Trainz: Let's Build the Pennsylvania & Berwind Episode 10: Eureka Spur

[@maneus60]

So good to see Trainz being used like this. When I came up with the idea so many years ago this is what I have mind. Great job.

[@ApproachMedium]

Thanks Greg! Means a lot coming from the original game developer! :-D

[@bige8975]

U r so talented I mean it and lucky for having tranz new era

[@844SteamFan]

I can’t believe this is over 4 years old! I remember watching this when it came out!

[@tombore9516]

Hello Approach Medium, the abandoned mineshaft looks really good and very detailed, it fit's in well with the route. Keep up the great work!!! - Tom

[@ApproachMedium]

Thanks buddy! :-)

[@Michael-eg3rs]

its always good to see you working on the P&B, I also have a abandoned track on my own route that the railroad is working on getting so they can restore it

[@awesomestudios2177]

Best day ever! I am soooo happy it's here!

[@ApproachMedium]

:-D

[@awesomestudios2177]

Approach Medium btw when is the next video?

[@southeasternrailroadphotog1269]

Really enjoy your videos! You've motivated me to get TANE this weekend. Keep up the great work!

[@ApproachMedium]

Awesome, thank you! Hope you've been enjoying the game ;-)

[@mrelvispresley6977]

Good to see you Joe! awesome as always friend

[@ApproachMedium]

Thanks Carlos! Hope you are doing well :-)

[@ilpotaimela1319]

This is best route I have seen!

[@ApproachMedium]

Thank you! :-)

[@devl1474]

Imagine you making this route, how hard it'd be im very proud of your work

[@boylesterminalshops6841]

Glad to have ya back

[@alco251b9]

I really like the cantilevers at the gas station crossing so I downloaded them and I installed them on my Bnsf streetrunning route while watching your atls tutorial

[@BenTheMiner]

Finally, some abandoned action!

[@MegaMattMorris]

More fantastic stuff!

[@ApproachMedium]

:-)

[@stevewallis8197]

With the end of the muddy river spline, could you hide the end under the road bridge?

[@ApproachMedium]

Not a bad idea!

[@IffathZiyard]

I'm so glad I found your channel mate I'm a huge train fan so I love making routes about my country aswell :)

[@ApproachMedium]

:-) Glad to have ya!

[@KingSNAFU]

If I were you, I would use the abandoned industry track as a storage track since many shortlines use these dormant lines as a place to store freight cars for other railroads, it'd be a nice continuation of that line's story.

[@ApproachMedium]

Yeah that's not a bad idea actually. They're doing that all over the place these days.

[@pleasant_asymmetry]

You should park some oil tankers on the abandoned spur, representing active cars stored due to downturns in traffic, or you could park some historical equipment or disused MoW equipment.

[@ApproachMedium]

Great idea! I'll have to incorporate that in the future.

[@Ish623]

Great Job, sir

[@ApproachMedium]

Thanks buddy!

[@Ish623]

You've doing absolute great job, sir ... U Welcome -- I catch your live event as well! -- Excellent!

[@gusjohnston5072]

How were you able to ' tilt ' that old Rail xing sign while you were in 'Assets, Rotate Objects mode ? And is there any method one can Camber or Cant track curves and the locos and rolling stock riding the curves on the angle [Camber angle ] you select. ?? Thanks

[@ApproachMedium]

Hold shift while using the rotate tool

[@rodneydangerson2954]

Your skills are awesome. Luv to watch you work. Have started to play with trainz route builder and am frustrated by their implementation of object searching (hey N3V ever heard of categories ?!?) in the builder and the download station. Did you search & dl objects individually or somehow buy a pack/collection? 6 years in the making wow, I have some catching up to do.

[@ApproachMedium]

I agree that the sorting methods need some serious work. The problem is that 99% of the assets out there are user created so it's up to the creator to actually add the proper categories to their assets. Otherwise it's useless. Most of the assets I use are from Jointed Rail's website or things I've seen others using on the forums. Follow the screen shots thread over there for some good inspiration.

[@parkertrainz6149]

Great build !! :-)

[@parkertrainz6149]

You should put some hopper cars at the mine for abandoned coal hoppers

[@ApproachMedium]

Yes! :-)

[@awesomestudios2177]

Can you do a scene where some gravel just comes off the roadbed? Like track used to be there but was recycled. But they left the gravel.

[@thewalkthroughmusic]

Is it possible to straighten the roads like how you do with the tracks?

[@ApproachMedium]

Yes. There's a straighten tool in with the splines. If you're using TS12 you can use the track straighten tool on roads too.

[@ArkansasLocomotiveWorks]

When will the route be uploaded?

[@ApproachMedium]

Hoping to have it ready in early fall.

[@ArkansasLocomotiveWorks]

Cool! Thanks for letting me know! Will this be on Jointed Rail?

[@ApproachMedium]

Yeah they're probably going to host it for me.

[@RRBuilder611]

It's easy to replace track. Same with the balast, just use the replace assets tool in the top left drop menu

[@RRBuilder611]

Also, you can use the bracket keys to rotate the thing while copying and pasting

[@anthonypecoraro5472]

He knows how to do it.

[@capefeartrainsandsirens]

Just geting back to playing Tane Good Route I think that city is old town

[@ljsrailwayvideos2370]

Maybe try blend the river and stream under the road bridge

[@nathan4139]

Where'd you get the "Sidewalk median 4ft" from?

[@ApproachMedium]

USLW.Net

[@craftereli8795]

Hmm the only thing I can think of that grows out of tracks are vines,dogweeds,and grass and sometimes trees

[@frootloops1696]

I understand why the late episodes. But after the TMR17 of Needles District can you make a 50's era layout?

[@ApproachMedium]

I have one in mind but it might be a while before I get there. Need to get going with the P&B and a few other projects first.

[@frootloops1696]

Approach Medium alrighty. Little bit of a late reply. Cant wait for the next episode

[@trainrailfan3266]

Have you ever gave thought on making a railfanning video on this game?

[@ApproachMedium]

It's been highly requested but I'm not sure how I could keep it interesting. I'm thinking about doing something similar in my next live stream though. Might set up some trains and do some ops

[@limitedapproach3282]

Nice Music,Approach

[@ApproachMedium]

:-)

[@BarteauRailArchives96]

Could u make a tour where your on a train please. Btw I subscribed.

[@ApproachMedium]

Thanks for the sub :-)

[@KevinSiebert]

How do you find all the buildings you use?

[@pleasant_asymmetry]

While I can't speak for Approach Medium, a good way to find buildings is to just download a lot of routes so that you get buildings as part of the depenencies.

[@ApproachMedium]

Jointed Rail has a good selection, otherwise I just think about what I need and search around on the download station.

[@anthonypecoraro5472]

In the cinematics at the end, what is that yellow sign on 45 degree angle? 20:37

[@ApproachMedium]

That's called a Flanger. Should be on the DLS or at Jointedrail.com

[@anthonypecoraro5472]

Approach Medium What does it mean?

[@christianyoung9530]

How do you pause the rotating circles?

[@ApproachMedium]

There's an option in the general settings.

[@long5243]

When will needles be released

[@ApproachMedium]

Trying my best to get it out August 1st. I'll release a video along with it so you'll know.

[@eggman8053]

Sorry I couldn't be at the streams I've been planing a model railroad

[@ApproachMedium]

Cool, good luck with your planning! It's a lot of work.

[@leomorris1773]

If you want roads to have no traffic place invisible roads that don't spawn traffic on both ends. This works in TS12 however I don't have TANE but there's no reason why it shouldn't work

[@ApproachMedium]

I'll have to check that out. I feel like someone else recommend that to me at some point and it did actually work in TANE.

[@Dirigo207]

Dat horn doe

[@R3ading]

dang

[@Chasingrail]

What's the crossing at 21:27

[@IllinoisCentralVideography]

Exactly what i wanna know lol

[@temppp6235]

Jello

[@ApproachMedium]

XD

[@vermilionrailfan5651]

My Trainz (Ipad version) is acting wierd.I have to go through my version of the P&B and I have to go from Jaunita to Aleghany ( I ended work at Aleghany) and replace all the tracks,roads,power lines,fences.Smaller railfans/Trainz players like BNSFGUY7777,Amtrak SC-44 Fan,and BnsfRail4736 expirenced the same Trainz crash-BNSFGUY7777 and BnsfRail4736 I think just had to redownload thier content.Amtrak SC-44 Fan and me expirenced the crash were all the splines are now white lines.

[@Chasingrail]

Christopher Thomas sometimes, my grass a1 just disappears, so then I have to replace the grass, only for the grass to reappear. I know how you feel

[@vermilionrailfan5651]

YAY!I GET TO REBUILD THE P&B FOR A SECOND TIME.Please help.Someone.
