PORT OF TILLAMOOK BAY RR

I suddenly have the undeniable urge to tie four SD9s together and drag a really big train up the hill out of Avery...*Ree-YOWW!*

If you haven't checked out Google Earth you should. Download it, it's free, and click on the West coast of Oregon. Find Portland and your area is to the left of Portland. On the Layers menu check Others and then check transportation. The program will draw a line on the tracks of the railroad. You will get a lot of good pictures and get good ideas for texturing. My computer is still in the shop so I'm no help to you right now. Next week I'm going to be in Texas so it won't be till the second week in Feb. that I can help you if you need it.
A few suggestions: you really have too much water along the route. In most places its just a small stream with washed areas around it. Also, I don't know how accurate you won't to be but it is a single track going up and around those mountains. Do away with the dual tracks. Google Earth will show you what I mean. Don't stop, you're doing fine. Like I said before you've done more than I did. I tried to put everything exactly where it should be and it became too much for me at that time. When I get back I'll look at my route and see if I can offer any help. Just keep plugging.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think you have the water running up the mountain the way you have your waterfalls placed. Plus I don't remember there being any waterfalls. I think I remember a small to medium size stream meandering down along the tracks. Sorry if I'm nitpicking but I'd like to see this route done as correctly as possible. If you logged on to Google Earth and watched those videos then you must realise that you have a lot of texturing to do plus planting thousands of trees. If you nned any help I'll be glad to lend a hand when I get my computer back. Keep plugging.
