A Leafy Branch

For version 2 of the Springfield Line we've modeled a new set of 3D trees that cast shadows properly.  Here are some screenshots of the new trees in use on the Suffield Branch.

DERS-4

While the New Haven is famous for their huge fleet of ALCO diesel engines, they also had a sizable number of engines built by EMD and others. In particular the ninety EMD GP9s, classed DERS-4 by the NH, were in widespread use in both freight, wayfreight, and passenger (commuter) services.

Here's our model of a NH GP9 (kitbashed from my earlier EMD SD7).

Phase-2

Here's a first in-game screenshot of our first phase-2 RDC.

Meanwhile, back in Connecticut

Here are a few new screenshots of the work in progress Hartford expansion of the Virtual New Haven Springfield Line. These show the stretch of track between Hartford and Windsor Locks, traveling northbound.
