Scott,
Thanks for the reminder, I plumb forgot about those boxcars.

Man, I need to redo that waycar.


Hi Randy,

Looks sharp - perhaps I should add some 3D details to the side - I had envisioned some photo skinners taking a stab at this - so I left the sides clean like the Goss car.

That's some custom weathering too - hah - nice. You've got an eye for this.

Regards,
Scott

Thanks Scott, the double sheath was easy. Lends itself well to custom lettering.
Now to tackle the outside braced model. Not a lot of open space between braces.
And the waycar needed more dirt.

Dirt makes everything better.

G'day Steve,
I was so impressed with your re do of the VSL route I thought I would take up an Aussie feel to it.
I look forward to seeing more of your developments. I'd really like to do a similar US style/timeline as yours.

Damo,
The whole thing has about 15 miles of mainline track so it's easy to super detail without feeling overwhelmed. It's flat so it's easy to add or move track and roads.
I started using it as a test bed for TSRE. Soon I had so much done that I made it my main route. According to the readme that came with it I can do whatever I want with it so it's mine. http://www.elvastower.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif
Almost all of the scenery items were default so I just deleted them and dropped links to my master shapes and textures folders in the route folder. Took about ten minutes.

https://i.imgur.com/xcYptcP.jpgFun fact, if you plug the coordinates into Google Maps it takes you to the Georgetown Loop in Colorado.
Looks like someone started the "Loop" and gave up.
Don't know who it was but thank you.
This is the model railroad I never had enough time, money or space for and now that I'm semi retired I'm having a blast with it.

Thanks for tuning in.
Randy

New town, new depot.
Tis still a work in progress. That green and yellow thing is a measuring stick that Dave included in his excellent Siskiyou route.
