Okay. I finally got the pictures. I had to specifically whitelist hostthenpost only for the forum. Maybe I'll start hosting stuff.
Great route, Roone. I'll be looking for it. For my own use, I might graft it on to the desert end of my Wild Bill II route.

Usually no, but i'm curious what you have in mind. Who knows i might have something halfway finished.Wow! spectacular!Do you take suggestions for future projects? :hehe:
Thanks!
And odd...I didn't know some people have problems with hostthenpost. If it continues please let me know and maybe i'll have to look into an alternative location.

Heh, well you did such a good job on your snowy Narrow Gauge route I thought you might consider an Australian-ish version! :hehe:

I know it is desert, but I hope there are some gradients too to make the locos work for their keep !

Well its not exactly Australia, but how about a tropical Caribbean island narrow gauge railroad? These are pictures of my never finished or officially released "Leeward Islands Railway" which i created way back in the TRS2006 days (when grass was "new"
). I've recently gone back in on a couple of occasions and have been considering possibly bringing the route up to current standards (aka, going crazy )
(click for full size image)
Yep.I know it is desert, but I hope there are some gradients too to make the locos work for their keep !
Most of the track is 1% or greater, with several sections going above 3% for short stretches.
4% connecting track in front of the 2% mainline.
3% up to the tunnel (out of view to the left).

Interchange and smelter on the right (east).
Closer view of Clarkdale, with the smelter in the middle. Lowest/southernmost tracks are the ATSF/SP/whatever-railroad-you-want-it-to-be. Not everything complete at this time (like the west end of the yard).
*Lol, oh yeah...and my texture-testing area in the upper left* :hehe:
Closer view of Jerome, with the big mine in the lower left, and a smaller mine in the center.

Keep up the great work Roon.

So i'm still working on the route, even though i haven't posted lately (the weather got nice out, so sue me ).
I made the route bigger, am in the process of adding another 2 ore ramps and a small, half abandoned village.
Here's just a couple pictures of some areas that are least ready for screenshots...

Hope to post a lot more screenshots tomorrow (just don't have the time today...)

RS1 I could see but SD9's would screw the track up. they're too big and heavy for the track he's got in there
