Railworks America

Big Project Alert!
The Northern Anthracite Project is open for business.

Stop by and see what this is all about. On the main page you find everything that is needed to become a part of this project.

Since it was alot easier to contact you on here rather than trying to email you, I would like to be the track builder for both the PRR and the Erie railroad on the project as well as building any track between the two if necessary.

Ok, go to the web page. On the bottom of the front page is an "Email Me" link. If I set it up right, you should be able to contact me there. I'll need your email address to get started.

I have two signed on. Still have lots of positions available. They are posted on the "Project Want Ads" section of BDWorkshop web page. I'm also looking for track diagrams and any other kind of reference material related to the anthracite region.

There seems to have been a typo in the BDWorkshop's web address...it's now fixed.
A really stupid mistake on my part!

I finally hit some luck and was able to import Coxton Yard from the Snake Path Map. This saved me days of track work!

I was wondering if there are any retaining walls out there that are something like this?

You could probably create something like that using assets from Steven's Pass if you have it

I don't think I have that route. I did check through what I had there was nothing really like that wall. I guess I'll have to add it to the list of thing I need to make.

I didn't get as far as I thought I would today. I only managed to get Pittston Junction done. This is the area just south of Coxton Yards. It's taking me awhile to get reacquainted with the Railworks editor controls. More tomorrow.

Sort of. There are some very nice bridge 'headwalls' in the NRD Trestle Pack here:

I'm checking it out...Thanks!

Added a small forum to the project's webpage for those who are interested in this project.

Well, I'll chalk this project up to yet another failure. There's just no real interest in it, and it's too big to tackle myself. I've since shut down my web site. I guess I should find a home for the content I made. Back to square one.

You just need to have some patience. Most everyone that is active is working on some kind of project and can't just jump into something on a moments notice. I think this is a wonderful start and you shouldn't abandon the idea.

I agree.
