Thanks everyone!
@log0008- yes, Cresson and the loco facilities are included on my route, there is a map i did a few pages back on all the areas ill be covering
@Enzo, yeah your pretty much right! The last time i was in PA i was 6 years old! lol, I've got a US trip planned late this year/early next year, although not quite sure where I'm going yet. Atm its between the Empire builder, the lake shore ltd, the Pennsylvanian or the Vermonter. Any recommendations from anyone? I did the Cali zephyr this year from Denver to San Fran and it was awesome!
As always the feedback i get here from my screenshots is what keeps me going

Man that route looks very goood 
. And more cause its operated by Norfolk Southern. Keep it up, looking forward to progress. Can i ask you where do you get the DEM of the route? I am working on another NS sub, the Bluefield VW Yard and i would like to know how to make a DEM of the zone. I'll be very grateful if you could help me.
Cheers
Ivan
PD I am not requesting nothing, only how have you get the DEM for that route or how to make one

Dricketts- yeah id say most of them are hi res, however after i get about 200meters from the tracks i switch to lower res ones. Most of the ones i use are built-in atm cos i can find many others that fit the area...
Stuka- Its a model of of an sd40e, which is an sd50 that has been modified in Altoona and used for helper work over the route. Its not publicly available at the moment.
Ivan- There is a DEM map of the same route im covering on the DLS by Fishlipsatwork called horseshoe curve i think, transDEM still confuses me a bit and I havnt really had the time to go thru all the tutorials yet, so im still unsure how to make maps if thats what you mean.
Thanks for the interest. Some cool videos ive found

Seeing as though everyones getting caught up in the NS heritage fleet that is being painted as we speak (http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=392356), i thought id put a CR es44 on the head end that ive had for a while Its close enough to the real thing for now
