Lookin better. But in the first set of pics you posted tonight,in the first pic the branchline turns are a little to sharp of a turn.

 

[diesel9]

You mean the 5 track picture thing.The reason is because if i straighten it some,It leans to the track too close.Remember this is a REal Route called Dan River in real life.I 'm trying to make a replica.

 

[Gandalf0444]

Yes that the pic I mean.And yes I understand its a real route so you want to make it real,but in real life I don't think a RR would have turns that tight. But its just my 2 cents.

Look good great very improved than before! But 1 MORE THING that you need more repair on number 1 on top picture, it switch need more take straight and shape curve too. Good great work keep up on your route!

 

[diesel9]

Norfolk Southern and Amtrak got trackage rights,CSX has it a little bit.My pictures are coming tommorow in the mean time, people can commet on these pictures.

Don't worry about this thread dying diesel9, you want to concentrate more on your new layout, which looks extremely promising I must say. Take your time with it, don't rush to get it uploaded onto the DLS, get it factually correct and just keep going and I'm sure that the congratulatory posts will come big time, as and when you get it finished.

Cheerz. ex-railwayman.

What do you think about these screens?

Nice! But 1 MORE THING! So you need more repair on the bridge and tracks too. Also you forget add the ground it ballast pour on the tracks?
