Claus, you could take a screenshot of a freshly laid dump on the tracks and it would look exceptional. Fantastic shots with the derrick and the "critter", Claus!

We needs some bigger traction here...

I can't take any new shots on the RMD as my Track Viewer (or whatever F4 activates) crashes the sim when I open it on that specific installation. Maybe when I fix my laptop's MSTS, I could make a traction/Northwest miniroute on there.

Wow, those are some great shots! :) I'll have to spend some time taking photos on my own, I've got a lot of traction equipment on my computer... :ko2:

Thanks Dustin and Bernie :wacko:.

Maybe I could get away with a screenshot of a freshly laid dump on the tracks, but I wouldn't dare to try it here on Elvas :oldstry:.

Regards Claus :)

Don't do it, Claus! This is a traction thread, and poop does not count as traction! :oldstry:

Just curious: I thought that Tim had lost the Pacific Electric route in a computer crash a few years ago.

Walter, I did. But I had sent earlier versions of them (PET2 and PET3) to Jim and Paul before that, so those versions are what you're seeing. The one I have left on this current junker is an older one of the 5th version, PE West, which is not very far along (PET4 died in infancy). I just don't have any interest in working in the RE anymore or on any more PE projects. I get far more satisfaction from building steam engines now :oldstry:.

But, I still do enjoy running an occasional motor now and then, and enjoy seeing screen shots of them.

It's a pity that you gave up the ghost on that project, we'd all trade our eyeteeth for a public PE route! :oldstry: Still, we respect your decision, and relish the steam locos you've been cranking out! :wacko:

Even if it was from "The Day the Earth Stood Still", it is still a great series of shots Claus.

Heading back to the PE, here are a few more from awhile back:
