I have far too many projects that I either get bored of, they fall apart, or I just have a general lack of interest in it to continue. However, after reading a substantial amount of material about BC Rail & its system I have decided to yet again start on another route.
The route will not be DEM, therefore it will not be entirely accurate in terms of distances. However, I have several pieces of BC Rail rolling stock that I will use, along with a good amount of CP Rail & Canadian National. Since BC Rail rarely did interchange with other railroads, rolling stock shouldn't be an issue.
However locomotive wise I have a problem. I Found a Metra Transportation locomotive that resembles the BC Rail blue/white/red livery, and also an awesome C30-7 locomotive that also resembles BC Rail's green black yellow livery. So I could really use some authentic BC Rail locomotives (anything appreciated).
Here are some opening screenshots, we start in Northern Vancouver.
A C30-7 leads a consist heading out of the yard passing through some surveying work at a rail crossing. Trains will usually throttle up when they reach this crossing to provide enough momentum to power up the dangerous 2/2.5% grade.
And how can I make this area look more realistic in terms of landscape?
