Those pictures are so amazing! They make you feel as though, you're actually there watching the trains go by. Keep up the great work.

That was an awesome vid! BTW what software did you use to make it, I would really like to make one of the NEC I'm working on.
Thanks!

Looking good Joe. Hey I spotted this video after I looked at yours and thought you might want to see it for texture ideas since I know you're a stickler for detail.

Yeahhh!
Looking awsome! I look forward to this project as you should look forward to mine! The Bnsf main line between Laton, Ca to Bakersfield, Ca. Don't worry I'm about 10% and I am very professional kinda like your photos. Look forward to a great merge or some i-portal train swaping.
Sincerely, Mr. William Leasure

-thanks everyone!
-strench707: i just used fraps to take the video and one of the video compressors listed at the fraps website to compress it to a smaller video.
-bnsf50: i did find some good textures for the route but they weren't efficient enough so i gave up on the textures right now and went for a lighter look. i know its not 100% percent look-a-like but its going to have to do for now!
-lsstaten: it is not pink ballast lol, its just stone 4!
-william_leas: that would be very interesting! if u read some posts before someone mentioned hooking up with a route that was being built in oakland and also connecting it to dermmy's bnsf clovis sub! lots of work to be done, but its not impossible!
-i've been a little slow on my work lately due to living issues, depression, etc..., u know basic life problems. i have to come to the forums first look around to get me in the groove of building! plus racing season is here! i went yesterday to bandimere drag strip and watched jet cars, and the fast 16 and the quick 16. pretty good show til the sun went down!!!!

Brilliant Work!
Hi socalwb909.
I've just seen the latest batch of pics and vids, and I have to say.... This project is going great, you have no IDEA how realistic this looks!!!
And I don't even live in America, so how would I know?
All that scenery is just drop-dead gorgeous:udrool:
Once this is released, you can rest assured that I will be among the first to download it! This is sensational, terrific, fabulous, and hundreds of other adjectives that describe this route!!!:Y:
Do excuse me.....:mop: Cleaning up after myself.
Good Luck with building this, as I said, marvellous, brilliant, fantastic!
P.S. Could you please add me as a Buddy on iTrainz Chat? I'd love to get updates as I play!
Happy Trainzing,
Scott.

-Thanks again everyone! I like getting replies, good or bad! If any of you content creators get bored, i would really like to have some custom buildings made. The cargil plant at verdemont, and the san bernardino station! I don't like straight up asking cause i don't want to sound like a gimmie pig, but it would be nice to have a couple stand-out pieces in the route!
-I've been working on and near Cajon/Sullivan's Curve. Work has been slower than usual, just for the fact I've been doing a lot more referencing, looking at photo's watching Pentrex and youtube video's etc.
-I haven't seen this to often, so I'm going to start out by showing everything but a train! Constructive criticism accepted!!!
-I noticed the vegetation in the road after i took the photos... its been fixed!!!
