Thank you all :) - some old and some new - really interesting revisiting the old shots, particularly MSTS ones - brings back fond memories of very happy times using the sim and the closeness of the community, especially in the early days when the limits of the sim were being pushed.

Hi Chris, and thank you - yes a combination of MSTS and TS2017 (or TS2015 etc.)

Wow, nice wire fencing, be too! What's really interesting is the second to last shot even has the line amps, junctions, and other appropriate equipment really present on actual utility lines!

Thanks Paul - TSW can carry a lot of detail but I don't really get on with it so far as a sim.

Visuals are great close up but I find them too indistinct at distance - see the shot through the cab door above, over towards the hoppers - seems to me that the LODS kick in very early, but that is probably necessary to keep the running smooth :whistling:
