Large Warehouses?

Unread postby xxuntitledxx » Wed Apr 03, 2019 9:59 pm

Anybody know of any large warehouses I can use for multiple locations on my route? Looking for something with loading docks with either opened or closed doors. I can fit them to size if need be.

I remember there being some on the now defunct Atlanta North District that were along the lines of what I'm looking for, just wondering if there are any other routes with similar ones I can use.

I'm trying to stay away from RCAP in case I want to release the route on Steam Workshop (which might not happen, but we shall see...) But...it isn't totally out of the question...

Have a look at pretty much any route that Rick Grout (G-TraX) has built or contributed to. Here on RWA that's of course the new freeware release Maine Maritime (former Portland Terminal) which comes with several large and small industrial buildings and warehouses. Also here on RWA, the (though not freeware) Cascadian and the R&WA Lakeside Route might have what you're looking for.

And if you're aiming for a Workshop release which would rule out using any of the three routes I just mentioned, there's also Stevens Pass, the Racetrack, and the Sacramento Northern where you probably can find several useful models.

And please excuse the unsolicited advice, but if you're unsure whether to release here or on the Workshop, I'd recommend skipping the Workshop and doing it here instead. I've tried both and here you certainly get a better reception and much better feedback. It's just a *nicer* home for your work here. Plus you can use all those nice assets from sources that the Workshop won't accept, like RCAP.
!*cheers*!

There is a plethora of unique and generic looking large warehouses in John Lippai's NRD packs here in the file library. As noted above, this wouldn't jive for workshop use.
