Haven't you heard, 70 is the new 65. Give or take.
Thanks guys. Wasn't really sure if anybody's been paying attention.

I can see why, it's a keeper.

And a dandy layout it is. I always look forward to your next installment of Trackside Photos. :thumbup3:

It's supposed to be where MO, IA, KS & NE all come together. In all actuality that area is pretty hilly and has a lot of trees, where there aren't any fields. Towns tended to be small.
70-80 years ago there weren't a lot of people around either. Just maybe 20% of where we are today. So lots more open space.
The current route looks like where I grew up, NE CO. You could see the mountains west of Denver and we were 112 miles ENE of Denver. So there's that.
The VSL is a tabletop route. Flat. So I'm trying to come up with a mixture that looks right to me so it could be anywhere that it looks like it is.
I've been doing some work in situ.

And too many trees makes me claustrophobic.
