I have caught up to the Clio Trestle. So now I will go to two rivers and work my way back to Spring Garden Tunnel.

I know I said no updates for a while but I have to show everyone my progress. I went back to the Spring Garden Tunnel Exit and started from there.
I am close to Sloat two more miles before I get there. From Sloat it is 6 miles to Two rivers. So Sloat is next then on to Two Rivers.
These screen shots are from what it looks like a camping site next to the Feather River.

I am finished with Sloat California. On my way to Two Rivers California. That will be Five Miles of scenery to put down. Then I have Eight Miles to The Clio Trestle to Fill in scenery. All of the scenery is filled in from the Clio Trestle to Portola California. I extended the track from Portola to Hawley. I have not decided if I am going to fill in the scenery from Portola to Hawley yet. That is another Seven miles of scenery to fill in form Portola to Hawley. I want to be finished with this sometime in April.

DTG answered my question if I could put my extension route in a RWP and share it with others they said yes I can. The reason I asked was to make sure I would not be breaking any laws. Remember to run my extension you first have to have DTG Feather River Route or it won't work. So I am good to go with that.


Hello,

Thankyou for your ticket and your patience whilst we respond.
Exporting the route in RWP format is not a problem, you are free to do this if you so desire.
If you have any further queries, please let us know.

Here are some screen shots from Sloat California.

Here is what DTG told me back in February when I asked if I could extend there FRC Route.

Hi David,

Thanks for getting in touch. Train Simulator comes with a built in editor which allows you to customise the content we release. You can even share it if you wish. i can't offer support on how to use the editor but you won't be breaking any laws at all by editing the game content.

Kind regards,
Jack

Working around Two Rivers now. I ran a train on the route tonight to see just how many more miles of scenery work I have to do. From Sloat to Two Rivers I have Four Miles of scenery to put in. I should be finish with that by this weekend. From Two Rivers to the Clio Trestle I have 12 miles of scenery to put in.

Dont't rush it, or you might burn out.

Placing scenery depends on a good mood every day in order for the result to be nice and pretty. If it becomes a chore it shows immediately.

Everything you've done so far looks excellent in my eyes.

I went crazy on putting down scenery today. I have spanned the complete twelve miles that is left to do. Detail work will take some time but spanning the whole twelve miles today really helps. So if I don't get sick and my family are all sick with some kind of cold. It is looking good to be finished before too long. Since I am doing good I will fill in the scenery from Portola to Hawley witch is another eight miles of scenery. So everyone will have almost 40 miles of scenery work on this extension.
