@Dreadnought: Looks like Finch is gonna get a Long shore man's Union started !! STEAM !! I'm waiting to see if you've got IRONCLADS !!
You never know what will show up in SorGun harbor next 
@Fox : Another great picture of that harbor .. love it! Thanks for the reply .. I might try to post some of the missing pictures from my CJ .. but nothing new as I'm playing Cities:Skylines now.. although I do miss playing SC4 every time I see some great CJ posts here. Best wishes and looking forward to the election.
Thanks for the compliments! I’d love to see some of your C:S work as well
@Ln X : Now THAT's a habour scene! I see you even got the MMP people on the roofs, did you make a prop of them and add them to the building model?
Thanks! You can actually find that prop in the Historic Harbor set (ortho and diagonal!). We also turned it into a lot… check the ‘under construction’ lots.
@tariely : OK, I'm teased. (I miss that SimPeg emoticon, the popcorn one...) I wish there was a more weathered version of those docks, for later. They can't be spanking new eternally, can they ?
Swapping in a ‘weathered’ set of planks wouldn’t be too difficult modding wise, but I’d need all the props and textures first and my skills haven’t ventured into that area yet.
@gviper : Ahhh, delightfully colonial! Though the location of that cargo box seems a bit odd in the pic...
Thanks! It’s actually hanging above the water on that crane hook, but I can see why it might look odd.
@heartless : Gorgeous work!
Thank you, and glad to see you stop by.
@takemethere : What a lively port! Btw are those ships and buildings custom BAT's? They look fantastic.
The small boats are all part of the Historic Harbor set here on the STEX, but the large steam frigiate is something that C.Scott has been working on and should be available in the near future

@feyss : I love all those people conducting their everyday business on those pictures. And the diagonal docks are also amazing.
Thanks feyss! I always like creating a ‘scene’ and I’m glad you guys enjoy the results.
@tariely : The empty railway bridge is a very nice touch ! And I would love to get that steamer ferry. I DO miss that SimPeg emoticon. I am waiting with bated breath. (Which I cannot say of the coming US elections. But you began that storyline way before them:-)))
Thanks! The steam ferry should be available on the STEX in the near future…
@Belfastsocrates: So much loveliness to take in and admire. I love the use of HD props, it really brings something to the scenes, which have been created with skill. Historic CJ's are difficult but you make it look so effortless. Can I ask where those stone retaining walls are from? I rather like them.
Thank you! Krashspeed’s amazing props from the Historic Harbor set have made creating historic scenes much easier (and with better results too!) The retaining walls are by kergelen (although I slightly changed them for a more 19th century feel).
@vinlabsc3k: As always an impressive work!! I can't imagine how much effort you have dedicated in the laying of MMPs and Lots.
Thanks for the kinds words!
@gviper: Always love to be taken back in time with New SorGun...love it!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it – more to come soon
@Themistokles: Really nice! Like belfastsocrates said above, historical scenes are very difficult, but you've pulled it off really well. And those wooden piers look absolutely spectacular! Are they published anywhere, maybe?
Everything can be found in the Historic Harbor set – check it out!
@kschmidt: Love the different town growing stages of the communities and the harbour scene´s, rail bridge ? Looking forward to the next stage, well done !
Thanks!
@kingofsimcity: Those diagonal harbors look amazing! Masterful execution of a late 19th century setting with your choice of well... everything!
Thank you! Unfortunately most harbor props are of the ortho variety, so it’s nice to be able to break the grid out at sea once in a while
@Tonraq: Wonderfully executed, and the town is growing well. I guess I'm with team finch on this one.
Stop by next week to cast your vote – Finch appreciates your support!
@Swordmaster: What's a stem engine? 
Nice work, though
Apparently I was confusing a 24th century technology for a 19th century one… silly me!
@Fox: Love the look of Indian Point.. great job once again .. must take you a week to make each picture look perfect. The election is so exciting, the way you write your story keeps me on the edge of my seat wanting more. .. can't wait!
To get all the pictures ready, it can take a week or so. Sometimes less, sometimes more Thanks for you kind words!
@Ln X: More gorgeous pictures. You are the MMP and T21 master. Also have people not heard of stem engines? They run on stem bolts you know, self-sealing stem bolts. If anyone gets this DS9 reference then they 100% understand my avatar.
I better get Chief O’brien on the horn so he can straighten me out…
@noahclem: I think the stem engine works by burning stems...from somewhere 
Quite a beautiful update, though I certainly have my work cut out for me catching up. Wouldn't expect anything less than some brilliant showcasing of the historic harbors. I have to ask if you've lotted the people into the places they're gathering or if it's MMP work. Lovely story line, though I sure hope they don't burn down my favorite tavern! I'm for Finch, all the way
Short answer… sometimes it’s lotting, MMPing and photoshoping. Usually a combination of all three. Glad to see you around, and thanks for the nice comments!
@C.Scott: Lovely to see the New Sorgun Story continue and we are now in1884. The Harbor is great.
Thanks – looking forward to more of your turn of the century models to sprinkle around New SorGun!
@sucram17: this was fun. lovely entry. Let the poll be open!
Thanks! And be sure to stop by next week to make your voice heard.
@TekindusT: I can feel the electoral tension!
It all ends next week
@tankmank: Another great entry, I'm enjoying the election buildup, can't wait to see who wins.
Be sure to take part next week – both candidates will appreciate your support.
@GoKingsGo: On my way to work this morning, I saw a car with a sticker exactly like your cougar logo. I said "I know that cougar from somewhere..." and after following them for a few minutes it hit me................Simcoug! no idea why i thought you'd want to hear that hahah. Anyway, great entry, great cinematics with the burning tavern!
Us Cougs are everywhere
Next time…
The election day is here. New SorGun has grown from a tiny settlement into a thriving frontier town – now it’s time for you to decide what path she will take going forward.
