Just an assortment of screenshots from North East Africa. The route is available at FUNTRAIN and it really is very very well done.

That is really nice looking! In particular, I'm impressed with the quality of the grasses & weeds. Very well done. Thanks for sharing it! Does the download include all of the rolling stock or are those separate?

I have just downloaded and looked at the files. The first file contains another file that has the two diesels, a selection of freight cars and one passenger car. Not sure where to get the steam loco.

Wow! That really captures the look and feel of Africa for sure! Been seeing a lot of equipment uploaded at TS for South Africa, and I guess there's a route for it all too? But this one really looks impressive. How long is it in length?

Gidday,
Glad you enjoyed the screenshots. Yes some of the rollingstock comes with the route however I also downloaded the steam loco and other wagons from Trensim.com in the section: "Material móvil vía estrecha" which is the narrow gauge area of downloads.
Not sure about the route length; there is a read me document however it's in French and I haven't got around to translating it.
The sounds and animated features are excellent and the scenery truly reflects that part of Africa.
I'll post some more shots after a few more runs.
Cheers
Damo

Nothing really about the route or installing it... three guys working together, one of which had lived in east Africa as part of a U.N. program to build housing for refugees.

Looks like a great route! I just looked at the website but since I don't speak a word of French I can't even get started. Oh well.

Use Google to translate the page.

I don't know why I totally forgot about Google Translate.
