Hey Guys

It's been a long while since I have been around and a while since I've done anything MSTS but recently I started building a Pacfic Northwest Logging route
and I've been busy creating trees and various structures.

Here's a sneak peak at a small area I've recently completed. With a Timber Crib work Bridge I made this morning

Whoa! :( You've got my attention, Jon. Very very nice work. Is it narrow gauge? It looks like it...

Sure is narrow gauge Rick.

I decided for this route that I was going to use narrow gauge so that I could use some of
those great narrow gauge locos that are around for the sumpter valley route.

I just wish there was a scale rail version of narrow gauge track.

But i'm happy with the visuals you get from the original narrow gauge track and it's much less FPS costly. :(


Cheers

Jon

I have plans to do some re-skins of narrow gauge track textures very shortly. I'll post my work here at ET when I'm finished with 'em. Maybe something will suit your needs.

(Ooooo, narrow gauge, it gives me chills up and down my spine.)

Keep up the good work, Jon.... :whistling:

Thanks for all the encouragement guys.

I must admit that is just about the only part of the route so far that has any scenery. Iv'e been messing around for awhile now trying to make a
realistic looking big pine forest and i'm pretty happy with the results thus far.

I've also been slowly working at the sawmill area of my route it's nowhere near finish and my sawmill is still under construction.
But heres what I have so far. Enjoy :-)
