RGS # 22 passes the 15 car Montezuma Lumber spur at Matterhorn with a train loaded with ore as it heads downhill.

I agree with the road name reappearing on the long hood in place of the flag, but give me the wings back!

^Is there any chance that the UP6460 could be publicly released? I see those "repaints" in the flesh pretty often where I railfan. Thanks.

Not having been able to run the sim in awhile, I went a little cuckoo . .

On Paul Charland's Dominion Atlantic Ry. Taking some fresh 20 and 30-ton repaints out for a spin. Lot's of Midwestern American stuff here!







Later, stretching the couplers at Turner's Bend on Andre's Ozark Northern (with some additional scenery items). Baldwin Vauclain Compound by Jon Davis.

Tim, you're an artist with the virtual lathe, brush and camera as always. :good:

[timmuir]

Hi Jon. Thanks so much for your comment. I hope you've been doing well.

On the DAR again.

[charland]

Your terrtex looks great Tim, especially the sandy areas. Most of the DAR was just track with gravel on sand.

Paul :-)

That's Paul Precht's work, Paul. He sent me his modified copy of the DAR some years back. Some of the brush and trees that I believe he planted are encroaching the right of way in places, but otherwise very nicely done.. I like this route for it's performance: I never have any problems with it. One of my go-to routes for relaxing train running and watching. :thumbup3:

Gravel on sand - the maintenance of way boys must've loved that!

[charland]

Yes, and where I lived in the Annapolis Valley it floods every spring and the DAR is underwater for a week or so!

Paul :-)

Awesome!
Was ExRail's weather extended version used for rendering that?
