Scrapped all of the track and landscape from the town of Nandurra on, (kept the town, grain siding, container yard etc), as the grades were just too steep to be prototypical. This new route has far more prototypical grades.

The old route, the two 81's really struggled to lift 15 cement hoppers up the grade. The new one, the only train to still fail to stop at the signal at the bottom of the hill are the cement trains, but thats only if they don't heed the "distant" and "landmark" signals preceeding it, calling for them to lower their damned speed! The AI managed to correctly stop a loaded container trip train, and an empty grain train. Stopping the Endeavour set in time was a no brainer, to say the least.








Apart from the township itself, I've only textured two boards out into the "beyond", and it includes a small sheep farm.

But yes, so far the prototypical grades have made the layout more visually appealing, as well as easier to work with AI trains on.

While testing the AI friendly grain siding. So far, the AI seems content to run in, unload, then foul the junction with the front of it's train, so when it uncouples, the wagons are on the crossover.

Working to fix it.

I remember catching the 2 car sets of these from Toronto Station, trundling across the Stoney Creek bridge into Blackalls Park,
then on to Fassifern and the main line to Broadmeadow to fly my model plane at District Park.
Then later making the return trip, with my model in pieces, propeller cuts to the fingers and walking the 3 kilometers home from the station............ Oh happy days
