Erik's going to think he's back at work, when he sees these :shok:

Nice shots.. Modern or not, there are wheels and there are tracks... Who could ask for more?

I don't mind the modern stuff, it's nice for a change of pace once in a while :shok: Very nice shots, D-F.

Well, thats a relief to know that. :shok: Thanks for the kind comments. I've been trying to make new activites using all SP stuff, but I don't know what other routes to use. I have a few in mind for the NWP and of course the MountE/DownT (which I consider the be PE and SN anyway), but...umm....yeah... :shok: as ya'll can tell, I need some major help. Any input what would be a cool activity to run?

I had a little fun earlier breaking up the Coast Starlight at the Eugene Coach Yard (Is it real? Is it still there?) and that was odd...but fun.

D-F,

My only advice would be, start small and consider purchasing the Activities Guide book by Rich Garber from Abacus ($10 and worth it). http://www.abacuspub.com/

The only thing wrong with it is that is was written pre-MSTS bin. There are things that MSTS bin has fixed that Garbers book says are broken (like waiting points).

Good luck and have fun.

P.S. It's also great to see Amtrak shots without those b*tt ugly P42s!!

Those are bodacious screenshots, dude! (Sorry, watched the original Bill and Ted movie last night for the first time.)

The MPU is worthy of TS2! and the screenshots n lighting is excellent, hard to believe it's a seven year old sim.

What sort of vidcard have you got, please?

Cheers (in awe) Bazza

All of the yard tracks next o the depot are gone, its just the two mainline tracks and a parking lot for offices and a strip mall. And it wasnt ever really a coach yard to my knowledge, but the boys called it that for some reason. If ya have any more questions about how things have changed in the last 15 years (how the route is set up and how it is now) give me a PM.

Thank you for you kind words. I have a NVIDIA 8400M Graphics Card. I forgot what its set to, a friend of mine tweaked it for me. I love it.

I lived in Southern Oregon just south of Roseburg, and I have to say the scenery looks a lot like the real thing.
