Hello all! To get to the point...the first steel frame did NOT survive.
After it was forged, I determined that the original frame wasn't what I wanted this train to be. I issued a destruction ticket and the crew got back to work.
A LOT was done in this haul. We finally got the radio system working, as it was very clunky and buggy before. It is where I want it to be and should serve as a nice ambience to this train. I also rehauled my archives organization system. The boarding sequence is no longer a limerance looking contraption. Da vibes are immaculate. One thing that did survive this rehaul was the color scheme. The terminal has been rehauled as well.
The main thing though, is that the previous frame is now gone. Melted and sent elsewhere. Up till now, time spent has been mainly experimenting, destroying, rebuilding, and destroying again. However, the new frame is COMPLETE! This new layout is very satisfactory to me and should carry the entire project onwards. The passenger car can now start to recieve decorations and info!!! Da fun stuff :) The same goes for the archives car. The workshop car, listening car, annd my cabin are next, and are cleared for future construction.
SOOOO with that, the MTX-444 has been moved OUT of the steel frame assembly bay. Next location: Interior Design N' Systems intergration!
