For the track on the pier, you could possibly model a car float instead of the traditional warehouse.

[@jordonfreeman166]

I’d suggest using that pier as a pier for a train ferry to provide a connection to the outside world. Pweiser has a ferry barge, float bridge, and tugboat that will work good. Vulcan has a series of ferries, but they’re all set up as turntables, with the ferry barge moving back and forth between two float bridges.

[@moose4787]

54 minutes of route building and 1940's band and brass to top it off. Nice.

[@Chasingrail]

I did not just say out loud “I wonder when Approach is going to upload again”, and then look down and see this. Did not.

[@csxenterprises]

Your right. You didn’t.

[@Chasingrail]

@@csxenterprises Good deal

[@eastonfrancisco5656]

instaBlaster...

[@darkstormy1545]

Great route! I would love to see some of those crossing gates become wig wags, that would definitely bring out the 40's feel

[@simmybear31]

Thank you for inspiring me to get back into Trainz, I go right back to the original version but 7 years ago I went through a very bitter divorce which really only came an end recently. Now I'm determined to get back into building. I particularly enjoy superdetailing 'diorama' settings so your work is reminding me of all the tips and tricks I used to use. Thank you and stay safe at this tricky time for everyone. Simon.

[@Flightman87]

I am planning on connecting this to tide water so the rivers can match up, then instead of the DB&EV connected in the normal area, I'm connecting P&B then the DB&EV to make a long route.

[@BERT.MCCR6]

Can't wait to run K&L locomotives on this map soon!

[@potatohead5910]

We have to consider: What if Steve makes a good interurban set for this?

[@potatohead5910]

I've also made a terrible kitbash for this route lol

[@ks_56]

for british gas lamps thes fit in very well at 23:31

[@kellenbradford9998]

I understand where you were going with this route with the type of rolling stock and trams but I would love to see a large steam locomotive creeping down the street.

[@idwmac]

Well, that was a pleasant surprise for Friday teatime. You make them and I'll watch them.

[@enzoeatstrainz8967]

Wow! This is incredible, really feels like you’re traveling back into the 1940s and seeing this myself.

[@-T90Vladimir]

For the coal ground texture, there is a SAM or PBR ballast texture that is much better looking than any of the coal ones. Not sure exactly what it is called, but it is definitely a SAM or PBR ballast. It's black like coal, but blends much better and is more HD.

[@rayvaul3539]

Wow, you’re a natural at route building. Which... reminds me to start working on my Texas & Western Railroad route again. Parts of areas on this route you’re making would definitely inspire me to do something similar on mine

[@LCERRP]

Kinda reminds me of Troy NY back in the 40s

[@Jessie-vm6kq]

Intresting build to expand the dbev universe. I do wonder if you do bring the dbev back into its NYC days do you plan on extending the original route further? It be cool to see the route running into the thickets of the Catskills along the esopus (dry brook). Just wondering though.

[@mosaic6225]

I actually use these videos to study mapmaking, as I'm slowly working on a decently sized route and I'm not too experienced in this, but I'm getting some stuff done that I'm pretty happy with so far.

[@johnkuzma7066]

Well I'm going to emulate this on my 2ft gauge Aspen Valley Railway & Transportation Co. But I have to worry about platform highs.

[@bakerboat4572]

Awesome work! I look forward to buying this addition to the DBEV universe for TRS19

[@Kmaster2007]

Very Nice! looks good to me and im a bit of a nut for railroads of this era. The coal to barge thing is very realistic, it is realistic even today.

[@elliotthool8325]

When I saw the 54 video time I literally said good lord this is something on the mail line

[@BCSJRR]

Very good to see you branching out into another era. Three thumbs up!

[@hush6149]

Have to admit you're really good at making wartime routes. you should make more of this stuff. and wartrainz has some really call boat assets ironically

[@MikeMcIntyreintechrity]

This is a whole new world to me. Are there more videos and creators like this? I just bought Trainz 2022 but never used it. I imagine if I can find some tutorials this could become a really relaxing hobby.

[@ApproachMedium]

Check out some of my other videos and livestreams 😉

[@jed2055]

I'm just into Trainz but I' sure I saw this one floating around for sale. Love your work and I think sped up a bit works for this sort of video. It kept me interested and hats off for the non stop commentary; I know I couldn't do that part either. The 1.5x speed certainly makes you look the complete pro. I believe I'm right but happy to be corrected that I could buy your route (is it called that?) and then find a whole lot of assets are behind this payware thing I keep hearing about. If so, comments I read about Trainz interesting way of extracting money from unsuspecting players may be right.

[@ApproachMedium]

You can purchase the route from my website for $10. Only a few of my assets are included but the rest can be obtained from the Trainz download station for free. I try not to use additional payware content in my route builds for the exact reason you mentioned.

[@zeilzee4551]

Approach medium please tell me how to buy these trainz objects

[@madjames9365]

I’m waiting for people to catch on that this can be attached to DBEV because this is the same railroad (don’t know if it’s supposed to be but this is a joke)

[@kpen9764]

Omg best way to start a nice slow saturday :)

[@M1chael42O1]

Hudson & Western: The Movie I feel sorry for your throat after having to talk for nearly a full hour

[@ThunderTrain2930]

I’d love to see a 90s version

[@FrehleyFan3988]

Looks like this would have been a former seaboard line

[@Studiosodor1]

I love switching

[@D3MOØN-Official]

Can I use this as background sound for my route building?

[@jordonfreeman166]

Put a Dr. Who TARDIS somewhere on the route, it’s a time machine, so it won’t look out of place.

[@thetrainguy1]

Hello, Im an engineer out of North Jersey for NS. If you ever need pictures of industries let me know. I love your channel! You have inspired me to come back to trainz. Thank You!

[@Univer3eTwist3ers]

This is giving me Mafia DE vibes

[@mrelvispresley6977]

Very nice! I enjoyed the video thanks! Nice job done Joe.

[@GreatLakesStateProductions6708]

I just rewatched the whole p & b build because I missed it

[@merk7675]

You should try to build a railroad in city skyline hahah

[@HWRR12]

Great route can't wait to get it

[@vitae-studios]

54 minutes? I must be dreaming haha

[@bunnpilled]

More DBEV steam ?

[@josephbennett3482]

Man I really miss having the android version of this sim , I'm so angry that the developers removed it off of the Google play store i used to play it so much than one day I went to play my routes and then got a message saying that the game no longer exists , after that I sent a very VERY insulting email to the developers telling them that it wasn't right that they removed a highly popular game.

[@greysongaming0845]

will the maine central ever be back?

[@thinredlinerails8240]

Approach Medium how do you perform your flyovers at the end?

[@IllinoisCentralVideography]

[@floridageorgiarailfan]

Hi everyone keep smiling and be happy but don’t let the hate get to you

[@4qxr]

[@365tito3]

Do your assets work with TRS2012?

[@603rail]

Are you ever gonna go back to the Rigby yard map?

[@ApproachMedium]

Hoping to get back to that one some time in early 2021 possibly. I've got way too many projects on my hands at the moment.

[@greaterhoustonrailfan]

How do I download it

[@herpderp6705]

Looking great. :)

[@ArshadKhan-oc7el]

Can u made route for TS3?

[@eliteproductions7636]

[@ginahodgkins1103]

You did not at all over-add trucks, the 50s had so many trucks they tried to limit the amount

[@173will3]

Where did you get those crossing gates?

[@ApproachMedium]

The backshops
