Very nice Claus -- you always post good work. Per the shadows I'm guessing this is Trainz?

Awesome screens, Claus, of beautiful work.

So, it looks like there's two eras of Buttercup presented here. The Umpqua River and Winchester Bay are down the coast from my location, so these shots are especially appealing. Those refrigerators are interesting with their doors offset to the right corner, that one advertising Umpqua Salmon especially. Very cool layout, too.

Thanks Dave http://www.elvastower.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif.

I really appreciate your kind comment.
Yes, it's Trainz, TRS19 to be exact. I've grown to like it (a lot) http://www.elvastower.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif.

You're right about the two eras of buttercup's. I simply adore small steam critter's, and these are no exception. They are made by Trainz-forge.
The layout is actually made by a mutual friend of ours, remember the Pacific Electric GE 16 ton critter ?.
Steven D. Myers (62stratfan) have made some amazing urban layout's in Trainz, and I concider him to be 'The Master' of bleak worn out, run down dreary urban settings.

Best regards Claus

Ahh! So glad to hear Steven is still active in the hobby, He is a great scene builder, remembering his small PE switching layout he had started many years ago for MSTS.

Yes, I remember Steven's PE switching layout. I have never seen it in real life (in MSTS on my pc), but I remember it as a beautiful small layout, with a lot of clever thinking.
He's very much alive, and I have just received one of Hi's latest creations. Steven's Trainz layout is not 100% complete, and just like a model railroad layout, will it ever be ?.
It's inspired by this 3 rail O scale layout by Norm Charbonneau:

The short answer is no.

ah...

That's disappointing. So many routes appear to be thus.

Thank you
