Clear Lake Logging Classic Primer

[slugsmasher]

Part of the impetus for doing logging routes is to preserve that heritage that is rapidly becoming lost history. Glad to be a reference point.

The Clear Lake route is the first route I DLed a few weeks ago when I installed TRS2006 and found it to be my favorite so far. Looking forward to any updates to it.

Fantastic piece of work, here!!!:Y:

Love that new Shay, can't wait for this one to get release, okay, I guess I'll have to wait, but I'll hold my breath!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

New shays are nice Rich. I seem to recall a test model a few years back that looked a lot like McKelvey Bros No 2 - a Class B 36-2 ng3. Still in the shops some place?

Clear Lake is looking very good. Love the logo.

Bob, Class B shay is functional but not completed. I still have the interior to do and final details. Been on the back burner for a couple years now. Once C/L is done I can get back into loco building.

Here is a visual reminder of the model. It will be the basis for several versions.

Progress slow but sweet.

Crossing the Nookachamps Gorge with Cultus Mt. behind. Notice the strand of track grade on the mountain.

Gas Car very much based on the West Side Lumber Co. gas car. I still use link and pin couplers though. Oh by the way, you can download this NOW off my website.

Every time I get a new issue of Narrow Gauge and Short Line Gazette I add something else to the project list. It's all good...

Lol - I'm glad I'm not the only one that gets half a dozen ideas from each issue
Looks great - thanks for the additional screenshots!!

[trainzfreak202]

Sorry for bumping, but any new work on the route?

 

[slugsmasher]

I have been working on some structures and some other stuff. (see "idler car" thread) Screens update when I complete another section.

It takes quite a bit of time to make everything for a route yourself. I only use a limited amount of built-in items such as trees and ground cover. Everything else you've seen here other than the occasional 'bdaneal' loco are models created by myself.

 

[dbgallant77]

I'm sorry to sound confused....but I downloaded and installed Clear Lake Logging V2, but I don't have the incline, or the maintenance shed, balloon track, etc..............am I missing something? Thanks......dbgallant77

 

[S301]

The shots in this thread are from 'V3' of the layout

Nice work slugsmasher. Been having fun driving your new stock around the RBR Dual layout

[dbgallant77]

Thanks S301 for the clarification on V3. I'll be patient and wait for that one to come out!

One thing I need help on though with V2, is the scenario I downloaded for V2....86661:9450387......it does not show up when I start Trainz, either in Driver or Surveyor. There were quite a few missing assets (18 or so) that started with 44700....could that be the reason for the scenario not showing up?
