Merry Christmas everybody...

PolarExpressSC4_2.jpg

My inspiration:

There has been far fewer updates around here than I would have liked, but alas, RL plays hell with my SC4 time. I have a loose idea of where the story goes from here, I'm just lacking the time and energy needed to see it through. Fortunately the winter months leave plenty of idle time, so I really am hoping to get back into a rhythm here shortly.

Happy Holidays, and I wish everyone a Happy New Year.

Replies:

Tonraq: Can't wait! :D

Hopefully you can wail a little longer :lol:

slickbg56: I'm pretty sure that guy at the bottom of the photo is about to take a header off the dock. AWESOME DETAILS!

Krashspeed really went above and beyond with all the props from the Historic Harbor set.

Huston: Wow, how much content have you got for this? I don't think ME:TMW comes close to how much you've made for New SorGun :O

Well, I've never really opened the BAT in my life... fortunately Krashspeed is such an amazingly talented BATer, otherwise these updates wouldn't look half as good.

Benedict: Great teaser, and congratulations on another week at number one on BTT.

Thanks - and hopefully I can get back on the list soon.

Gugu3: Nice!can't wait until next update

Thanks for stopping by!

juliok92012: WOW!!! Beautiful image, can't wait the next update²

Thanks!

eufl: What should I say? Reading entry after entry, some of them more than once, cause I started reading more than two years ago, I am highly impressed, more than that, your CJ is on my all time favourite list, and that is no easy task.

I love your way to tell about history by using a fictional story. There were a lot of points, where I followed your links to the historical background, and I learned a lot about the so called wild west and early colonisation of the northern Pacific States. Stuff like this never was part of my curriculum.

And to tell such a story with all these extraordinary pictures, your care for all the little details, not to speak about all the modding behind the scenes, I am really wowed.

And to come to an end: Thank you not only for this CJ but also for all you fantastic shared work. Since I´ve started SC4 again with your diagonal lots, well since then I really enjoy "playing" this game.

Thank you for the kind words, and I'm so glad you enjoy New SorGun!

Big time pro work on this. Excellent work man. 'The Polar Express' is always a must read this time of year. The illustration in the book is fantastic. There are also plenty of references to some stuff that is local to me.

Merry Christmas!  I'll be back a lot more often now that most of the craziness of my schedule and my rebuilding are behind me.  I wonder how much I missed that I really shouldn't have missed...  I'll go back and check eventually.

 

EDIT: It turns out I'm already caught up!  I'm glad to have refreshed my memory on where we were at story-wise, though!

Wonderful picture. Merry Christmas to you to. I should get around to working on my CJ, too, but RL and other things, you know :^P

 

Looking forward to whatever you have to bring us, whenever you have the time.

 

Is that engine (a UP Challenger, iirc) one of Peg's models? Too bad they aren't automata...actually, that gives me an idea....

Before even reading Polar Express on the train I looked at that pic and was like "hey that's the Polar Express". Merry Christmas SimCoug. Too bad we couldn't see more from you this year but RL takes precedent.
