New York City Transit (Q) Line and NYCTA Trains WIP

I am collaborating with Mr Railfan, Mudwrestle, and several others on the development of the NYCTA (Q) Subway Line and R38 Train. 
The main development threads for the two projects can be found here:

http://forums.bvestation.com/index.php?topic=82.150 - R38

I will periodically post updates for both the Q line and the R38 on this site as well.

Some screenshots of the Q line and the R38:


Prospect Park Station:




Steel Elevated Tracks in Queens:




Timed Signals on the downgrade in to Canal Street Station:




R38 stopped at 34th Street:




R38 on the Manhattan Bridge:




Beverley Road Local Station:




Shadow fading effects:




Avenue H Local Station:




Coney Island (The South Terminal):

Much more progress made on Prospect Park.
Many more details such as the platform retaining wall, photorealistic overpass, and small real life details at the south end of the station have been added:

That's photorealism for sure, I really love it! I'm not into tubes that much, but this one will most surely land on my HDD!

Some progress has been made on both the Q line and the R38 train.
The New Manhattan Bridge:


R38 carbody, now with 3D undercar components:

Hey, DJ - those screen shots look tremendous - love the sunset behind Manhattan Bridge.  Work of art my boy - look forward to its completion.  Well done!

This screenshot shows the further progress that has been done on Prospect Park. Note the stack of ties, relay box, finished crew room, and railings.

Mr Railfan and I are finishing up work on Prospect Park. Note the new conductor boards, including both the regular one and the R42/R40 conductor board:


Some progress on Church Avenue has been made as well:

Impressive stuff and finally looks like a good NYCS route.

Dayum. Looks really good.  Best NYCT route I've seen yet. Can't wait for it. The R38 looks good too. Could we get more screenshots of it? And will it have a 3D cab?

The R38 will be released with a high-res 2D cab. A 3D cab will be attempted when resources for making one are available. 

The R38 has been retired from revenue service, and there is only one pair of the R38 cars remaining (Owned by the NY Transit Museum). When this pair is put on display, I will be able to get textures and information for making a 3D cab.



Here's some screenshots of the progress we have made on the Q line. The train featured is the R38, which is nearing completion:


Church Avenue is almost finished:





Newkirk Plaza:




Kings Highway Station

Timer signals on the Approach to 5th Avenue:



34th Street - Herald Square:



Crossing the Manhattan Bridge:

Still looks good. Just curious but do you have any extra spots for developers? I am really interested in developing and helping a project like this would help me earn some experience so I can develop on my own.

Sorry for the long gap in updates. Rest assured that both the Q and the R38 are still under development. More consistent progress posts are being made here: http://forums.bvestation.com/index.php?topic=378.300

Here are some more screenshots:

Unfortunately, the work that is being done on the Q line right now is so pedantic that to help out would require physically visiting portions of the line. Sorry...

Once again I'm sorry I haven't updated this thread in a while. Just a reminder, more frequent updates are posted here: http://forums.bvestation.com/index.php?topic=378.300


Anyway, here are some recent screenshots of our work at the Canal Street and Atlantic Avenue stations:

Atlantic Avenue:

Some screenshots of the newly-reworked Dekalb Avenue station:





Maintenance room sliding doors added:


The new animated trip arms:

Stunning work!

Absolutely

Progress is being made on the Manhattan bridge:

Looking good there @Developers over BVEStation. Really looks on point

Regards

Some more work done on the Manhattan Bridge:

The bridge looks good. Are you going to add animated traffic to the bridge?

This work is nothing less than breathtaking! How many people are working on this object alone?

The Manhattan Bridge is being worked on by 3 people, including myself.

We have thought about this, and will do some R&D pertaining to it once we finish the rest of the bridge.

In case you wonder why so few people comment on those - I suppose they have the same problem as me; the dictionary doesn't know enough fitting words for "stunning" to not repeat ones posts over and over ;-)
