South Eastern Coal (SECX)

South Eastern Coal operated their own trains out of Hazard Kentucky through the 1970s and 80s. Their trains are a feature of the East Kentucky route.

A pack of 4 PaintShed GP38s. My first content, these locos are far from perfect.

A pack of four re-skinned H62R hoppers. Two livery variations, each with a loaded and an empty hopper.

RRMods.com H62R Hopper Re-Skins

I love this model by joram24 and have had a lot of fun skinning it for several real and freelance roads. The skins based on prototype hoppers are as close as possible to the APPEARANCE of the real thing, but the prototype is not necessarily a H62R. There are comparison photos of some of my models and the prototype hopper that provided the inspiration on this page.

'Terrain Only' Routes

Terrain Only Routes are 'bare boards' routes with no scenic ground texture other than lines indicating the (approximate) position of rail lines, roads and rivers. Trainz users are free to download these 'routes' and modify them in any way desired. The routes are created using DEM and TIGER data via the HOG (Hand Of God) utility. If any resulting route is released I ask only that you acknowledge this original source, other than that they are without end user restriction except that on no account may any of these routes be used as part of any payware product or as part of a compilation of products which include any payware product.

POWDER RIVER BASIN

Want to run long modern coal trains? There must be a dozen mines in this terrain-only representation of the Powder River Basin, or at least that part of it that is within the boundaries of Campbell and Converse Counties, Wyoming. With just on 70 Meg in the cdp file alone, this is a biggie....

HAGERSTOWN PA - BIG POOL MD - MARTINSBURG WV

I got a bit carried away with this one, the route extends from Big Pool Md northwards to Hagerstown Md and south to beyond Martinsburg Wv. The cdp weighs in at a whopping 40Mb, the installed Trainz route files at over 150Mb. I doubt if anyone could cope with the whole thing, but there are quite a few worthwhile routes wrapped up in this - major yards, several class 1 roads - C&O, PRR, WM etc, urban industrial, rural branches, you name it! Just lop off lots of boards and keep what you need.

Incidentally if large-scale board pruning is required you can lop off literally hundreds at one go with no memory problems if you get rid of them before you start the route.....

One problem I can't fix - the Tiger data has the river banks shown in the same Teal colour as the rail lines, which is pretty confusing, but a topo map or Google Earth image makes things clear.

HARRISBURG PA - READING PA

Exactly what it says. Another biggie - 60Mb in cdp form. The DEM for this one is pretty ordinary, there are quite a few holes and other oddities, and the Tiger positioning varies from spot on to way off. Once again the Tiger data has rivers in the same Teal colour as the railroads which is pretty confusing, specially at the western end of the map, but not a thing I can do about that. This one was for quaker1, but is free for anybody who wants to have a go!

Oops - couple of mistakes on this one (it was done in a hurry...)

Firstly: The route is mistakenly called Hagerstown in the cdp and shows in Surveyor under that name and

Secondly: I forgot to delete the HOG texture that covers the ground - it doesn't show for me because I have removed it from my installation. I'm not about to re-upload the cdp so if you need to see the grid do the following:

TRS04 Open the folder C:\program files\auran\trs04\world\custom\ground and move the folder named Hog19 onto the desktop. Start Trainz, load the route in Surveyor, click past the black screen and select 'Delete Missing Content' from the Surveyor menu. After you quit out of the program you can put Hog19 back where it belongs.

TRS06 Start CMP, find Hog19 in your local content, right click on it and select 'Edit in Explorer' from the pop-up menu. Again click and drag the Hog19 folder to the desktop. Load the route and select 'Delete Missing Content' from the Surveyor menu. You can now re-install Hog19 if you wish by using 'Import Content' from the CMP 'Files' menu (but I wouldn't bother)....

TC etc I don't have any Trainz product after 06, but pretty sure the procedure is pretty much as per the 06 instructions above.

Sorry about that....
