Looks good

[BNSF650]

Really hope you get one of these routes done lol

Is this gonna be put together with the cajon or is seperated?

[Bananarama]

This one is separate. I was mainly concerned with the size of the track database and RW's ability to blow things up in an instant.

[CSX2057]

ahh ok.

[GSkid]

It does look very good so far. Any guess-timate ballpark timeframe of when you think it will be done? I wanted your Feather River route..... but for Railworks. I may still get it if I ever manage to find where I packed MSTS. I may even buy a new copy since I see Ubisoft is supposedly the one that's publishing it now.

I got the impression you had no desire to make stuff for Railworks because of the new EULA and the fact that any updates they do in the future could make your route broken. I'm all for it though. I'll be keeping a close eye. I hope you bring the Feather River route to Railworks. But I won't be mad if you don't. It's a lot of work and I can see you not ever wanting to do the same route twice. You'd be seeing the route in your sleep for the next year after it's release!

[Bananarama]

Not sure about the ETA at this point, but hopefully it won't take me years.

Thanks for the comments on the Feather River, but I mainly supplied track and a few bits. Nalle and Rick were the main artists.

Will this go on up to Bakersfield?

[Bananarama]

Yep - track is complete to Bakersfield except the north-side lead to the UP yard and the turntable. The BNSF yard is in place, however.

Wasn't someone else already doing this route?

[Bananarama]

Wasn't someone else already doing this route?

Not when I started several years ago (I even posted pics). The above is a rebuild of a backup after a recent HD crash. The biggest change is that I added super-elevation, added roads, and have it completely signaled.

Did you include the freight sidings at the Mojave Airport? I dream of someday being able to move wind turbine fan blades to there.
