Trainz: Pennsylvania & Berwind Episode 13: Juniata Yard

[@theonetheonlyjj7445]

Do you consider adding a ghost town to the P&B? Or at least some kind of railcar assembly & repair industrial complex would be cool! There are abandoned rusty & derelict railcars on the DLS that could make a very nice "forgotten" atmosphere near the mainline!

[@brycetienter9772]

I definitely agree with Andrei on this. I know that the P&B probably doesn't have any abandoned spurs but still it would be cool.

[@apurdue0]

I agree

[@KurtisHooey]

outdoor railroad museum might be a neat thing to make on the layout. with some old steam locomotives sitting on an abandoned siding now used to display the former "king of the rails".

[@smokeybandit9760]

The only Trainz youtuber who actually does content on Trainz in 2017 (I know there are more but you are the best).

[@Ish623]

Excellent work and guidance, as usual, sir! Tip, if I may: Download my car collection -- they're attached by two's / three's for quick fill-in's! LOL

[@ApproachMedium]

Thanks, Ish! I'll take a look at your car assets, thanks for the suggestion.

[@kittycraft]

The yard you were mentioning around 5:00 in would be either Port Jervis, NY or Suffern, NY. The station you used isn't too far northwest of either town and is in my home area (Binghamton, NY), its nice to see it being used by other users.

[@ApproachMedium]

Yes! It's in Suffern along the Ramapo river.

[@modelermj7982]

The Lackawanna Station model was originally custom-made by Ben Dorsey for a D&H route I was working on some time ago. The prototype is located in my home town of Binghamton. NY, and Ben made the model based on photos and other information I supplied. Great to see it being used in a route, nice work as always!

[@ApproachMedium]

That's awesome! Thanks for sharing that. It's a great model.

[@derykrenaln9220]

Heya AM. Great video and I really like what you've done for this area. Juniata is always a favorite area of mine. Weird the issues you had with T:ANE. Yah, I think I envisioned this area as a main older road for the town along a busy section of railway. And I see it as being updated - older w/ some newer box stores. But whatever you would like. Some side streets going further in to town w/ street signage and stuff would add some interesting details along the route. Great work and let me know if you need anything. Stay safe Texans and Louisianans!

[@ApproachMedium]

Excellent suggestions! Glad you see this area in a similar light as I do. It's certainly beginning to take on a life all its own.

[@Joshua31301]

Dude OMG that looks awesome great job

[@theonetheonlyjj7445]

Would you allow Auran to have your map come as standard in one fo their future releases? If you do so, I strongly suggest you contact them on the forums because this is too good to miss!

[@derykrenaln9220]

Andrei George Jurj I'll second this suggestion! Hopefully Auran sees this. ☺️

[@southeasternrailroadphotog1269]

The station area looks great AM!

[@ApproachMedium]

:-)

[@vermilionrailfan5651]

where did you get it?

[@collinm8]

You should put a coal power plant on the other side of the highway at 15:57 not right behind it but somewhere near there.

[@austintaylor2020]

If you dont have one already. Mix a steel mill with the coal, loads. Try arcelor mittal for reference

[@TheBestTrainsAreReal]

So cool wish i had a RS3 like you.

[@aiforus]

Fantastic job. Love your work. I am a big passenger train guy, so I pay attention. This is partially a personal opinion, but for a train station, even small ones, there were Platforms that ran as long as about three or four passenger cars, and usually for six to ten cars (longer at Union stations). In most modern American modellers, people don't pay attention. Your station has a platform that is about one passenger car long, which is unrealistic to me. The only ones I know of in suburban and rural settings that didn't have longer platforms, were ones for very very branch and rural areas. My *personal* opinion is that the station would look way better if there were longer platforms, and that t hey were along two tracks (both directions). Unless there are stations that you're thinking of where people just go out to the train but no platform (which I've seen). In any case-- you're fantastic with all this and beautiful work!

[@ApproachMedium]

Thanks for the info! I'll have to take a look and see if there's a good way for me to extend the platform. I didn't envision this station as being super busy, but I think that's kind of the direction it's headed.

[@eastcoastrailproductions7681]

A park and like little railfan platform thing after the seven eleven would be cool.

[@overly7997]

that 7/11 reminds me of the one across the street from new hyde park

[@M1chael42O1]

what if you put a excursion steam train set up to look like its coming in to the station?

[@pleasant_asymmetry]

I think the area directly around the yard should be strip malls, gas stations, fast food, diners, that sort of thing. Maybe you could put some larger buildings on the edge of the map to suggest a larger downtown area. Juniata yard and the area around it could be made to look like the regional town center that is the biggest town in the area but still not that large.

[@ApproachMedium]

Awesome. That's kind of been my thinking as well and I think that's what I'll probably end up doing.

[@KingSNAFU]

I believe you were referencing the yard in Port Jervis, New York or the yard at Suffern, New York.

[@ApproachMedium]

Yes! That's correct. I always forget the name.

[@greattrainadventure8523]

Hey, did you make Lewiston PA area? If you did do you have a video, and witch one is it? I love your vids!

[@mastergabe9167]

You inspired me too me making many amazing routes in trainz a new era p.s what train locomotive are you going to use passenger wise

[@Trainskid-pb2qs]

Love your vids Approach Medium! Do you know when the next P&B is coming out thx

[@ApproachMedium]

Next video will be Friday ;-)

[@Mas4449]

What does post processing do exactly?

[@SwirlyTrainz]

A hotel in the area would be good. Maybe a few stores as well.

[@fatal-bert]

how do you get to the content search filter on the top left? is it only in T:ANE?

[@Rusty.rails1298]

That looks like the Lackawanna station in Binghamton

[@greysongaming0845]

could you add an industry block and a big city with a baseball stadium and and small fictional passenger line and since its pennsyvania does it cover amish towns like strasburg

[@BattleshipOrion]

you should add a random semi trailer i see alot of them in ohio only there conrail trailvans and they are usually abandoned especially between the 711 and train station it adds character

[@joshbnsf]

Love the video man

[@BNSF-2050]

So will this be released to the public when it's done?

[@Maine_Railfan]

Quick question, are there any derails on the sidings?

[@ApproachMedium]

Negative. Haven't gotten there yet.

[@awesomestudios2177]

Yay!

[@jacklazarski1362]

I have the same lamppost problem

[@tombore9516]

Great work approach medium, so you be running amtrak like a amtrak bi-level train?

[@ApproachMedium]

Haven't decided just yet. I'll have to see what assets are out there.

[@radanju3]

Never have I clicked so slower because freaking KZbin doesn't notify me even though I clicked the bell. :/

[@markwalters3604]

Where does one go to find the switch machines that you are using?

[@ApproachMedium]

The New Century Switch stands are on the download station.

[@markwalters3604]

Approach Medium thank you sir

[@WestArkRailfan]

Hey dude, I'm a new sub, could you make the arkansas & Missouri railroad, it's a very small railroad, only 150 miles, with about 10- 15 locos on the hole line

[@ApproachMedium]

Welcome to the channel! :-)

[@lcs3491]

On the DLS there is a 7/11 with the gas pumps called 7 11 store -w- nightmode and 7 11 sign -w- nightmode I hope this helped for your old 7/11 ;)

[@thatguyy7581]

P&B is the best anime ever lol jk it's really great route 😂😂😂😂😂

[@natman242]

A comuter run with a rs3 would be nice.

[@ApproachMedium]

Yes!

[@jaxontrain464]

when's this route gonna come out??

[@vermilionrailfan5651]

when its done. Soooo.....not for a while. He said he might release it in *_C H U N K S_*

[@anthonypecoraro5472]

I have a name for the Amtrak train. The Junita Limited. Will the Amtrak terminate here on continue over the route?

[@ApproachMedium]

I dig it! ;-) It will probably continue across the route.

[@Andrew_Edwards122]

You make me really want to get this game and build my own route that's as detailed as yours but I know I'll just get disappointed lol

[@justincooke9676]

Passenger Trains Line Would be Cool

[@user-gc1iv6nv9z]

Hey can you make a P&B Dash 8 Dash 9 AC4400Cw AC6000CW Road Slug Sd40s and SD60M

[@coolcatTF2]

What pc do you have

[@ApproachMedium]

Built it myself. Core i7 7700k, 32 GB DDR4 RAM, Several SSDs, GTX 960 GPU (Soon to be a 1080 ti)

[@RRBuilder611]

I don't have any 7Elevens. Only Stewart's

[@itzunreal4565]

I get the frozen terrain bug and the rotation bug aswell :/ The terrain bug happens when you are editing terrain near track. The game has to inefficiently reload the track for every single frame you edit the terrain, causing a memory overload and freezing the display / updating process while the game scratches it's head for 15 minutes, eating up all of your RAM in the process. There are two ways to fix this bug: 1. (Complicated Method) Allow T:ANE more virtual memory. This method is a bit more inefficient as T:ANE is so pooly optimized that you'll end up dedicating 80% of your computer to run it without the bug. 2. (Simplified Method) Put the track on a whole different layer and hide it. This prevents the game from having to reload it a billion times, therefore eliminating the issue. This is the method I use, as you can just un-hide the track later and continue on. As for the rotation bug, there is actually no way to avoid it unless you want to make a billion layers. So we'll both have to deal with it for now. Hope this helped!

[@ApproachMedium]

Good to know. I'll have to give that a try. I have 32 GB of RAM so I might try to allocate a bit extra first and see if that'll help.

[@steamtrainstudios4603]

You need to put some hotels there.

[@frootloops1696]

Please make a 1940/50s steam era trainsition route as your next series.

[@ApproachMedium]

In the works! ;-)

[@frootloops1696]

Yes!!!!

[@alexandergrube6437]

Not having cars parked on the lines is somewhat realistic because theres always that idiot who takes up two spaces cause he can't park!

[@tristansrailfanproductions155]

Why sad music

[@ironfarmer7169]
