Decimated by a plague, the once beautiful and prosperous ice-town of Anchorage, famous for its Scabious engines and the largest drive-wheel on the ice, is inhabited only by its young margravine Freya Rasmussen and just enough survivors to keep it moving.

    Can't wait for Arkangel. Will you have it sunk under the ice or before that?

    @Killedbydeth2 haha, yeah ik, but this is a cutaway. the snow isn't left directly behind the town, rather diposited in two banks at either side of the track marks. since this only shows the centre-line of the town, you can't see the snow.

    @jakkers7 yey @DIMA-5000_DFG net izvinite. eto amerikanskiy , khotya eto v znachitel'noy stepeni pod vliyaniyem russkoy . @jakkers7 mir oder ihm? @Daeox /)^3^(\ shtahp! you flatter me. @jakkers7 *blushes* @dariansteven thank you so much for the suggestions! but this isn't based on present day Anchorage. it has a heavy Russian influence and skates around the entire north pole, avoiding the radioactive wasteland of america like a plague.

    I love it, but the snow scooped up is actually depostied over the back.

    but i love the overall design of it... the snow plow and the wheel see, cool. Not hating at all on the save, i just lived in alaska for most of my life

    also in alaska, we have permafrost, so you should change the ice to the frzz stuff to the bottom part, perhaps a small layer of insl about 3/4 the way down with a few holes in it. Unlike most cities, Anchorage has limited space to build so you should see more skyscrapers...
