This route is so good they have even modelled sunkinks - exquisite attention to detail...:cheers3:

On a more serious note, if you haven't downloaded this route, it really is worth a lot more than a first, second or third glance. Beautiful attention to detail with a depth to the scenery that is very reminiscent of Wayne's L&PS. Roads going into the far distance away from the track, buildings set up a long way back and fields that dont cross the railroad track, but look like they might actually be farmed.

Definitely a top 10 route, and if you don't like those red machines, I am sure it would do for a load of other favourites...

When I handlayed my first On2 track, I had some places that looked just like that Sunkink.
I didn't think of it as being a neat prototype detail;
I just thought it was lousy trackwork! :p

Top notch work! But I didn't know that Corn-belt America was so kinky - a really nice touch with the track. :p

Cheers Bazza

Now that is inspired track work! I've got some kinked track on the PE, but in the vertical plane. Now I've got to incorporate this effect in the horizontal. Beautiful terrtex work too. Big thumbs-up on your photography, too, Rod! :p
