New or ongoing projects in the coming year 2026

[mishtahshneaks]

Been working on and off on an RS11 since last year. Mainly so I could use its parts to build out the rest of ALCo's roadswitchers.

Progress has been slow since I've yet to get any good material for the draft gear setup, so I might start some other projects or finish what I have left in the meantime. Hopefully it'll be more eventful than last year!

Actively prototyping ORTS Activity Edior (includes "trackviewer", "consist editor"....At least that's the plan.

I wonder if you could try doing a whole 10-part ATSF transcon activity involving an ATSF intermodal train? I really like your Amtrak Southwest Chief series and I even did a BNSF intermodal mega-activity myself inspired by yours

Has the 10 part activity been released yet or what is the current progress on it? I saw where someone was making one and lost the progress on it! Please let me know! Thanks A Lot!

I had started looking into where crew change occurs and basically run the transcom from one crew change to another....I have to go back and look into that....cool idea though.

yes, it's on trainsim. The premise was that this was right before the BNSF merget, so no BNSF just ATSF and BN equipment. and the run from Chicago to Galesburg was over the chillicothe sub, rather than the "racetrack". Query the file library for "bleboeuf" and you should see all 10 parts plus several patches that I put out.

You'd think there would be a BN racetrack route on the FL by now!

This isn't a wish list thread. Trying to stick to projects, you're actually working on, or planning to work on.....

I've been doing a lot of work on the CN/IC these past several months. Track has been laid from Buckley to Tuscola. I might blow the dust off the CNW Milwaukee Division/CNSM megaroute and bring it up to OR standards eventually.

Is there a file number for the bleboeuf file in the library? I did a search on it and it didn't come up and showed no files found by that name!

I'll take things that could have been a private message for $100.

Like Eric pointed out lets keep this post on track and talk about things we are working on or want to work on this year! That is why I started this thread in the first place. Please do not ask questions about the file library unless it has to do with something others are working on or you yourself are working on.

Thank you,

Brandon

I've been getting the itch to finish up my second set of crossing signals, after a long break. Most of it is done, so it's just a matter of actually working on the last few stragglers. Also in the works is an improved set of passive crossing signs.

I've got some more road signs I've had to make for various projects that I'll probably upload at some point. I've also started on a set of track signs, mostly updates for stuff I've made previously, but also some new stuff is in there. As that gets further along, I'll open up submissions from here.

I have a few routes in the works. They'll almost certainly be released as incomplete routes. As those get closer to completion, I might start a thread highlighting them

Putting my focus back onto route building.

Seeing how the winter scene looks for this location..

[pwillard]

I keep forgetting that I should do snow textures for scenery I create... so my future projects need to be related to learning how to make winter textures without making a complete mess off things.
