Streamlines Green River Sub with a very small amount of modification to suit my photographic needs - great that Streamlines have used Mosaic to create ROW and shows what a difference even fairly simple texturing can do. They have also used Mosaic to create custom textures quite a distance away from the track in places.

Overall, a very good route with some parts very nicely finished.

Stock is Gaetan's DRGW F7 plus bonus coach set from his F7 pack.

Very nice route, well done. It would of been nice to have switch stands included. The only ones are the auto-remote type. This route requires a lot of driver control. Just cannot sit back and enjoy the splendid scenery with all the rolling track grades on this route. Having been alongside the route many times, in many of the places depicted, SLI has captured the look and feel of it. Gaetan's units look right at home. Just added their latest, the Amtrak Cal/Zephyr.

I spotted a hole in the hydrocal where you can see some of the benchwork...

I think my video card has an issue. Really nice scenery on this route, and love the GP-30's. They sound so rasty!

Unit #3003 is a clone I made from the route's #3004, the caboose is mine, found here in the library.

Nice Tim, I had forgotten your caboose :pleasantry:

SLI have managed a good scenery balance in most parts of the route. It is only really let down a bit in the yards and town areas where it is just a bit bare. Telegraph poles could do with stringing!

Have you removed yours from Ruby Canyon or is that a poleless part?

Thanks, Rod. I haven't touched the route, so it must be a pole-less part (didn't even notice- observant me!)

The route is asking for some add-ons, isn't it? :pleasantry:

It could do with some add ons - Though do you mean scenic or running on rails?

I am going to spend a bit of time in places like Helper adding extra poles and clutter - probably with a bit of additional texture work as well. I wish SLI had put switch stands in - they did the same with Scenic Sub then released a patch - trouble is, a patch would wipe out any alterations to the world tiles!

They have done a good job overall though.

I can see I am going to have to get my paintbrush out and lay into some of the Geeps myself :cheers3:

Great caboose Tim...
