meh..
Now that looks good! nice job!
Expanding East!
Got bored of updating content and reconfiguring the Keddie area (which is now about 85% completely correct)...So I expanded the route for the first time in over half a year.
This time I expanded east to the town of Quincy, California.
Alot of scenery is missing, but what you see is about 2 hours of work and play time.
More W.I.P shots to follow.

9/24 Counting Tunnels...
Just another short update.
Starting to finish alot of the custom content now that I figured out how to convert/import into Trainz. The successful test sample to start with is the tunnel markers ....Yes, I AM marking each tunnel. The prototype has them, so the virtual version will too.
Paying attention to detail makes for a great result. (Months, years, decades down the road)
Some shots of the rocky areas approaching the canyon (W.I.P).

this route is absolutely AMAZING!
I cannot wait to attempt to run it in TS09
You will not get that far.
It will not be an easy thing to do if I manage to do it. However I am willing to try
Update 9/26
@817TAYLOR: Slim chance anyone will get the route to run in TS09. 90% of the content needed for the route is either built into TS12 or is my own content, built for TS12. Also, on the topic of route completion,...we are looking at 2-3+ years down the road when the line may be nearing completion. I work at my own pace.

Update 10/25
Thanks for the kind words.
Here's a few quick shots of the Keddie area (which I have reworked more times than I can count, trying to perfect it).
The station area still lacks scenery and parts (slowly piecing together a better looking setup that is more like the prototype).
The wye area is coming along the way I want it to, but still a W.I.P.....more to come with time.
That's all....for now...

The unique thing about the Feather River canyon is that "uniform" can't not be used to describe it. The line runs through the whole canyon and every couple of miles, the scenery vastly changes.
...that and the route is still a W.I.P. and is a lot more detailed than the TS06/TS09 version.
Details take time.
