Thank you. Work has been going slow. Real depth means three baseboards on either side.:hehe: Anyway, I have track layed to the Park Hill dump milepost 270. Soon I will be laying tracks for the Conemaugh & Blacklick Shortline...I am almost to Johnstown within a few miles.:D

Here is a few more shots of Mineral Point......

Actually, I have three friends working for a company that is reclaiming alloys from the Hinckston run slag dump. Mostly moly that is used for armor. Slag is good stuff that can be used for many commercial purposes but when they were making steel slag was merely a waste product to be discarded.;)
 
Onward to Johnstown and Bethlehem Steel

Although this area is going to take a lot of time, I thought I post a few progress shots.:hehe:

Actually, with work starting to slow down I dusted off this route and I am currently working on the city of Johnstown. Progress is painfully slow working in urban areas that have a lot of detail. I live in Johnstown and wish to make the route as prototypical as possible. Generally it takes 2 weeks per mile and urban areas 4 weeks per mile to do it right. About 10 miles are complete.

Not complete yet. Still working on it.:o
 
Seth,

Contact me when you get a chance. The Conrail Historical Society will be up on Horseshoe Curve at Altoona's Railfest at the end of June and I'd like to demo your route as its obviously from the area. We'll be up on top of the Curve all weekend and I'll have Trainz running both days up there more than likely. I started a Curve route but havent really got anywhere with it...

hit me up when you get a chance!
