Not the only delights, but if there was ever a route that benefited from having the Yardcam in every tile, this is the one - a real railfanner's delight.

My first fast tour of WP brought me into contact with an AI train heading for Oroville. Using Yardcam I was able to keep ahead of it and take shots at likely positions, or just enjoy the total control to watch the train go by.

Nothing I can add to the expressions of delight that have already been made about this route, other than to say thank you to Nalle and the 3DTrains crew. What an experience :D.

For me though, a realistic visual experience is more important that being able run a 100 car consist along a featureless track at 70 mph, so I guess it might not be for everyone (but hey, I can run a 50 car consist behind three Geep35's at 40 mph through a realistic visual experience with this route :D ).

Nuff of this blather, a few shots

On the Geep35's - nice work.

It is frankly amazing at every turn. The bridges are drop-dead gorgeous! :D

I can't wait to get my copy, this is a beautiful looking route, from what I've been seeing around the place. And I agree about the bridges, which caught my eye from the beginning- stunning!
