BNSF/UP Taluth Subdivision

CSX5220

Trainz Bum for now
Hi,

Let me start out by saying, I finaly got Ifranview installed on my computer again. It has been along time for me for posting screenshots, forgive me if they look 'outta place'.
I am currently working on a project called BNSF/UP Taluth Subdivision. This route is not based on prototypical maps or anything of that sort. Its locale is somewhere in the Southwest, Probley New Mexico or Arizona. I havent yet figured out how big this subdivision is going to be, but I have about 3.5 Miles compleat so far, and I plan on expanding another 10 or so. Anyway, here are a few pictures I cought. Enjoy!

We are positioned on top of 'Photo Rock' (thats what the BNSF crews call it) looking in a Westward direction. The Tempitrue is 89 and light winds today. Clear with 0% chance of rain. A perfect day!

Later that afternoon we head further East on our trip on the Taluth, were about 1/4 of a mile from the previous shot from this point, east bound trains climb a grade of .8%. Here we see BNSF train TLULOS-2x, with a trio of UP power. Union Pacific power is not uncommon on this heavy traffic subdivision.

Its getting late in the afternoon, and a hotshot BNSF intermodel carring 108 Pig's with 2 BNSF ES44AC's Chuggs hard at track speed to keep its time sensitive freight on schedule.

Right behind the intermodel we find another train. This is BNSF train TalLos-I5. Some of the Warbonnet Santa Fe's still find there way on the line as this train makes up for some lost time due to some cripples at the intermodel yard.

Our last train for the day was back at Taluth. Here we see yet some more Santa Fe's. The 4 GE's were in full dynamic's, with about 115 Coal loads bound for points east. Increadably, No helpers on the rear as BNSF added head end helpers at this trains departing station.

Stay tuned for more BNSF/UP Action on the Taluth Subdivision

Nice :) So this is TRS 2006, SP1?

Nope, Trainz build 3337 is 2.7, I belive its the newest version you can purchase. I got mine from Trainz Classics. I kept Trs06 but deleted my TC.

Would the route run on TRS 2006 SP1? Or is it possible to download a patch or service pack of that version onto TRS 06?

Looks great, very realistic desert scenes.

Sorry about that the numbers are 3337 and 2.6

I really dont know of where to get the service packs, possably Auran's homepage:confused: I'm sure somebody would be more than willing to help you out with getting the right version.

ROUTE UPDATE: Just finished texturing the summit of the route, I'm working on the other side of the summit, possably building another subdivision for an add on to this route. I'll post some new pics in a while

There's one noticable difference of this build from Build 3092. If you notice on the last screenshot, the switches have smaller switch icons from the larger ones we currently have. -Chris
 
PHOTOS!!!

Hi,
Well I figured out how to post actual pics instead of posting links, hope y'all in enjoy.
The Taluth Sub is going along nicely, and I'm nearing compleation of the route. I'm still toying with the idea of building an add on for this route. I'll have to see what the community thinks about this one first.
But now some photos:

today, we chased Train TALLOS-I15 with a set of BNSF AC44CW's the AC's are having a hard time lugging this 8600 ton Stack Train up the summit.
