Hallo!
This will be my first try to upload some screens. After reading your instructions I hope it will work.
After downloading the first of Tim's wagons I was fascinated by its many details. Because I didn't want to wait for the next of his wagons to appear when I watched a train rolling by I decided to form a consist made only of Tim's wagons. Here you can see the UP version of the "Tim Muir Special" (I use the same consist with different engines and caboose for different routes) on its way up Tehachapi Pass. Although this consist of more than 60 wagons is a real frame rate killer (with camera #4 and the latest version of Bin patch FPS drop from nearly 50 to 9 at the end of the consist.) it's a treat to watch these beauties roll by. (I'm not so much of an activity driver but I like to watch a beautiful train in a beautiful scenery, and dream of times gone by.)

Hi Dietmar, I love it! I never run anymore than 20 or so of my cars in a train because of their impact, so seeing a pair of 9000's pulling 60 of 'em is a real treat. I'm the same way, I run trains just to watch them running through their environments, and enjoy seeing lots of detail. Thanks for the pictures! :o

Hi Dietmar,

That is one awesome looking train and Tim's cars couldn't be pulled by a nicer looking set of engines. :o :o

Hallo!
I'm glad you like my shots. As for the engines, I specially like these monsters for their animated Gresley gear for the middle cylinder. It's fun to watch it working when the engine is crawling uphill at low speed.

Keep on steamin'!
