Hello Timotheus!

Tell me a bit about the Willamette Valley. Are you replicating a prototype, or is it an excellent proto-lanced route?

Top notch modeling/route work.

Andre

Thank you, Marc! :huh:

Andre, the WVRy is a route that was originally intended as just a place to test objects built in TSM and any ideas that come to mind. It then took on a life of its' own, and then Chuck Zeiler expressed an interest in it, so I CD'd a copy to him and he developed much of it while it was in his custody. And not as a direct project. We work on it when we have time between other projects. It is now in my custody again, and I'm developing the mainline up northwards along the Willameete Valley between other stuff. As you probably guessed by now, it is proto-lanced ( I like that!) but based loosely on the Oregon Electric Railway, that ran up the Willamette Valley between 1908 and 1945 ( electric) and much of it is still existant.

Sort'a grew on'ya, eh? I understand. Boy, do I understand.

Sure like the "mood" you and Chuckster are creating with your stuff.

Say, do you primarily model in TSM?

Yes. But I am planning on buying the Big Boy version of 3DC, and try to learn it. I think TSM is great, and I've learned how to work around it's flaws. But 3DC offers so much more and if I ever decide to do any payware articles, I wont have to spring 295 bucks for TSM's commercial version.

Traction jackson :huh:

That makes TWO superb modelers that I've recently learned use TSM. (The other is also a "Tim"!!) It's obvious to me now that it's a very capable program in the hands of a skilled user.

I can understand where you're coming from on 3DC vs the $300 for the commercial license. I have no choice at this point but to cough up prior to releasing the North Arkansas.

So YOU'RE "traction jackson", eh??

:huh:
