Cant wait!!!

As Rick mentioned previously, the rose granite of the Hi-Line area is particularly tricky to capture and the original texture colour had been tweaked. Here is a re-worked Hi-Line. Rick has outdone himself.

I'll say!!

Here is a heads up to those following this exciting project. If you pop across to Rick's http://www.gtraxsims.com/ and watch the slide show of pics of the D&S route, Rick has slipped in a handful from the latest build, including Durango roundhouse and service facilities (you will LOVE the turntable and roundhouse)

After watching the slide show, I can only say that I think this route is turing into a ginuine work of outstanding computer art.
Just beautiful. I will have to have this route for sure.

Hopefully I have finally got this right. A few more WORK in PROGRESS pics, including reference pics from the route as a comparison. Remember, this is still WIP
Highline:


Allowing for camera lens focal length and positioning variations, the guys have done a super job. Remember, its still WIP with a load more "greening" to do...

Someone needs to look at the service which these screens were posted. It is highly pronographic. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

When I was a small boy in the 70s I had a book with lots of pics of remaining steam ops - along with African Garretts and those enormous condensing 2-8-2s they used in the Karoo, it had an awful lot on the D&RGW ng and what was left of it; it made a gigantic impression on me. This whole project has made me really happy from the first time I heared of it :)

Just hope one day there's one of these. Even if I have to attempt one myself!

Those "enormous condensing 2-8-2s " were actually 4-8-4's, you will find. Very interesting locomotives...

Sorry guys I had to remove the images. There is nothing wrong with the screen shots but the hosting site used advertising which caused offense.

Ozinoz I sent you a PM, I hope it helps.

They called me Big Boy and offered me a bigger engine.

Nice shots, but couldnt help but notice the naked chicks in the banner above your pics if you click on your pics to enlarge. you better be careful who you supply your photos through. I'm sure there are kids that are on this forum wagging there tongues on this lol.

[PapaXpress]

Lets get back on topic. If I missed a few links please tell me by flagging the post and I will remove them. I am sure this was an honest mistake.

[ozinoz]

Apologies re the pic hosting

I will look out the pics again, but we are not too far off a new test build, so I imagine there will be a few new ones on the way...

No need for the apology...... I just figured you didn't know about the ad's! What a great route. I fire the DRGW 464 up here in Michigan, and I love this kind of stuff! Can't wait!!

For any of you who get RFD TV on your cable or satellite package there is an episode of "Trains and Locomotives" on today named "Railfanning the Silverton" that will be of interest.
