Canadian Rocky Mountains 2011

Cascade Mountain 2.998 m or "Stoney Chief"

Morning all,
@Jango and @Rick thanks for the nice comment.
Mountain ranges is hard labor if you want results like this takes weeks of long hours chissle and jackhammer no kidding.

Mount Rundle in its full glory seen from the ENE on HW1 towards Harvey Heights, Canmore.

Ning and Djoetje tell me to post a few more extra pictures on my attempts/trials to get mountain ranges accentuated. Most of you cannot imagine what this means for sure it is painfull hard unforgiving but if it works the results is sitting on a bench and gaze for hours and stroll around the result, really.

Imagine those settings in Tane/E2 if the draw distance lock would finally be lifted and enhanced, how different the panoramic view would look!

Hi Roy and fellow trainzers! I`m back to you with some rocky Mountaineer Railtours stuff.

It`s a new, 11-window version of glass dome. It`s completely new mesh, i made it from scratch.

should i change tone of dark blue color or leave it as is?

 

[RoysTrainz]

Ivan, well done and i think the dark blue is more calm and less plastic look and feel.
If you could "weather" a bit the entire ultradome it would be very realistic.
I not pretend to be a good content creator for rolling stock ( lack of time) but look at the coach cars here the roof have a good dirty used look what you need to get on your rolling stock!
I did reskin Ocemy his beautiful gems of rolling stock and the result are not to bad.

I just drove under that sign a few days ago! It looks exactly like the real thing.

 

[RoysTrainz]

@Spanderson thank you for posting and yes this little corner has that what it needs.

I had no clue as I not have any evidence what to put and the exit number of course is wrong so if one knows where to find or have canadian highway symbols to put on the sign where you see now 1 eg.
But i like these little details that make the route just look better.
Almost there! haha i say this now already for how many month and stroll along the tracks and creeks and just keep adding replacing, it never ends.
There is an old saying if it looks good move on and do not add or change again or you never get finished....
I ask the easter bunny what he thinks ok?



Roy:hehe:

Google Maps street view says......

Obvious not i use it many times and still not see the sign, one excuse so many details left and right i never get to the end. lol

Happy Easter!

Sink lake at the continental divide

Almost from every angle, every step like the real thing you can just look and awe, at least that is what i do. Mighty happy with the result so far you will see when running this part.

Roy, Ning, Djoetje:

Great work on this stretch of our beautiful country. Obviously your "vacation" on the hammock has inspired you to keep improving your craft (route building). Great work.


Cheers,

Derek

I meant to make a comment Like Derek's yesterday. I love to brag about our big beautiful country! I've never been in this part of the Country, but of course I've seen many photos of the area. My wife has been out there. She says, "Gasp...that's beautiful!" Dang, I may have to save up for a vacation out that way now. Hmm.. Maybe when this is done, I can get it for her. I will save a fortune and she can enjoy seeing the area again. Looks like the real deal to me. You're really doing a bang up job!

Cheers....Rick

Hey Dereck long time no see, you must be busy now learning italian and working way up north on Whitepass.
To early to say as your route just started but it will be a great route for sure.:mop:
I had that route in mind for later so can use that time now for going all the way east.:hehe:
Well the long winter will be followed by a short busy summer for you no garden work right? You need bugspray on the whitepass you know!

I am taking my little plane checking out my route left and right and see it 's not bad at all under all given circumstances still running smooth.

Happy easter you all up north and say hello to Jango who talked last year he wanted to do a project with me but it seems that will be for after his retirement....

Ning and DJoetje say hello from home up NE.
Djoetje says everything under control.

warmest regards,

Roy,Ning and Djoetje:wave:
