Arizona Divide Modernized

I agree with John but can't you just hit the track leveler and highlight the yellow arrows and then the "L" key and have them snap back to the surface?

Buzz, this is the exact same problem I had with that project I've been working on. I wasn't working even close to where the tracks went Titanic on me. Fey96, I feel your pain!

Back up and cut, do the job then weld, check all is ok and back up again. I too have learned the hard, time costly way.

Searching online, it looks like the Apache RR has boxcars, woodchip hoppers and bulkhead flats for carrying pulpwood. I have already reskinned a boxcar and plan to work on a woodchip car tonight. Does any know if the APA is still carrying pulpwood. Do you want me to reskin the bulkhead flats too? Does the APA operate any other freight cars?

Nice job on the boxcars - any sort of APA paraphernalia is greatly appreciated! While the bulkheads are no longer in service carrying pulpwood, one can still be found outside of their shop loaded with a prime mover. They would still serve as an excellent addition for the map.



Southwest Forest Industries (SWFX) deployed a number of unique open-top ACF centerflow hoppers specifically for bringing coal to the Paper Mill in Snowflake. Obviously, this model doesn't exist for TSC, but perhaps it could be done on a substitute like Michael Stephan's freeware 70T hopper or equivalent? The model shown is from ATSF Freight Pack 1.



SWFX also had a handful of Autoflood hoppers that could easily be fitted for the AB Studios model.



And if you feel like making something really wacky - at one time the Apache had a former WP ballast hopper in MW service alongside a handful of ex-ATSF hoppers.

Thanks for the help

By the way, will the Apache Ry. include the timber industry that is currently closed? It could add a lot of operational potential.

That's a bit beyond the scope of this project currently, however I won't totally rule it out in the future if I can find the proper resources.
