G'day Roy, Your screen shots just get better and better. I just long for the moment I can get this into Tane.

Now that last shot is really typical of late September around parts BC. Leaves have turned colour on the trees and mother nature has freshened the rest of the landscape with new snow. Mountains now look so realistic with the snow texturing above the tree line. Great job as always.

There are 7 separate storms coming through BC in the next 10 days so the leaves are now long gone and there will be a LOT more snow in the mountains before Christmas. Vancouver hit a high of 14 C yesterday because of the tropical storms, so all we get is rain.

Hi Ning and Roy. A little colder here than Thailand. Snow on the ground with more to come in the next few days. Temp is 3 right now and going to get colder. Good winter so far though. Only a couple of nights colder than -20.
I don't post here much but I like seeing the shots of your amazing route. Keep showing them.
Thanks for the comments regarding my own screen shots.

Cheers,
Jack

Hi Jacky,

we can do with nights of 20C not -20C i remember though my son living near Montreal i visited a few time during winter it frozes my butt of and other parts.
OK back to the CPR route with some shotsa along the Windermere Sub nearing GOlden.

Very nice, Roy.

It was 16C here today. Yes, way too warm from the second week in December. No snow, no ice, and green grass.

Give my regards to Ning.

79947 working as good at it gets for me for sure!

Hi John,all

Ning and Djoetje say hello to and hope all goes well in Boston. Thanks for the kind post!
16C over there is way to hot i Think it should be over freezing and snow cover.
Here its hot again only nights are cool so i survive inside working in the Rocky Mountains as a real TANE forester. It is absolute fun but the negative side is i get distracted to many times with views I just want to sit and gaze and productivity level drops to zero.

79995 Canadian Rocky Mountains in full glory

Hi Matt,

thanks for the post! btw your stuff really come along well, it is a large museum i must say.
Here one more from the Canadian Rockies......

The route is full seasonal but for some reason the mountain tops and far distant assets and maps not change to snow as it should be. Well some more tuning the crew in Brsibane but so far so good!

I think I saw some rails in a few places. Looks more like an advertisement for BC Tourism, but still an incredible amount of work you put in to provide the setting for your trainz.
