Decided to do some narrow gauge driving for a bit. So, I decided to try my first time running this narrow gauge route of the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad. As anyone that's been in MSTS long enough know, there was someone that also built this route in Standard gauge. That may have been built way before the narrow gauge version ever shown up. But here it is in its appropriate narrow gauge size done by Andy Miller.

In my drive along this route the run from Antonito to Chama the uphill side can get as steep as 2.4% but on the otherside of the run that grades are even steeper by as much as 3.9% from Cumbres to Chama. That would make for a steep uphill climb going from Chama to Cumbres. Well, enough of the intro to this route so here are my shots.

Here's a view I added to the tender. This model is nicely done. So these next few shots here are from inside the tender looking out.

This is the first tunnel in the long drive toward Chama from Antonito.

One of my watering stops. Oh, yes, I changed the water tanks to have this one that actually works. I hate water tanks that are just for display.

Here's another structure I may have to replace for the more original looking wooden trestle.

The train is far in the background in this shot. This track here is much like the infamous horseshoe curve.

Last shot for Chama. And this short tour of the Cumbres and Toltec narrow gauge route.

The next and last one here is added after a run from the other way from Chama to Antonito with a longer consist.

That's it folks. Thanks for looking.

Ed, you must be doing something wrong, only the last pic shows up. The rest have the dreaded red [X]

???? All the pictures show up for me..

[thegrindre]

I had no issues either. Matter of fact, I enjoyed the 'whole show'. :fever2:

Are you able to see TrainSim.com's site and forum? Your side of the world must be locked out from them then. Nothing much I can do with that one. Cause that's where those pictures are coming from.


And to the others that watched. Thanks for your watching the show.

I noticed that the shots with the red "X" have this information.

Could it be that the shots with the red "X" are not on this server
but on the train.sim server and with certain browsers the transfer is not possible?

I to only have the red "X" with all but the last shot.
