I have been working on lighting effects for the Metra Electric. these 2 pictures are of the 93rd St. terminal.

an update of the Metra Electric route. I have done a lot of work on the equipment that will ultimately come with the route. here is a partially completed South Shore Line train.

also under construction is the Nippon-Sharyo Highliners. this is the progress, so far.

Looks pretty good. However, the lighting on the corrugations on #2 make it look too dark.

Now all you have to do is a 100 series (trailer, no center door) and 200 (single cab).

here are two additional views of the NS Highliners under construction. the game lighting changes, depending on the scenario.

It's the opposite, 100 series have a single cab and 200 series are the "high capacity" trailer cars.

OK, I'm excited for the South Shore cars. Do you have proper sounds for them?

more work continues on the South Shore car. that is not the final ceiling nor interior lighting. I am, however experimenting with different textures to get the look that I want for the seating. as well as interior lighting. the bulkheads have not been added, yet.

If it's not, now is a good time to get the Metra Burlington Northern route sold on Train Simulator. It's currently 50% off through the end of the July 4th holiday as part of the Steam Summer Sale.

Oh cool. I goofed somewhat with the timing though. The current Steam sale is through the Fourth as I mentioned but through 12 PM Chicago time though. 

[nlewis7000]

hello, everybody. Happy 4th!  new update on the Metra Electric. I am working on the Grand Crossing area starting with 71st St. going south to 75th St. and South Chicago Ave. these are night views of the area as well as the featured homes of the area. yes, the old fashioned "Chicago Bungalows".

[nlewis7000]

more night views.

[nlewis7000]

final batch of night views. time for me to get back to work (while I am still in the mood). ciao for now.

Will this route be released? And what will the dependencies be?

[cat1554]

It upsets me that this such great potential, but then died out in a snap. OP, if you're reading this, please let us know.

From looking at the photos, it's him. I am attempting to get in contact in the hopes that he'll either continue working & updating us, or release the files so we can work on it.

No response so far. Seems he hasn't seen the messages.

Its so unfortunate that every Chicago route ends up getting stuck in development hell.
