Agreed. Roon said it was uploaded to USLW around June 1st, but the DL page is still not up yet...
We were waiting patiently...
 
A couple last minute bug fixes and some internet problems are holding things up a little bit. A couple days more at the most.

Anyway here are some screenshots taken while recording videos of the route (of which i have about 400 GB recorded so far...and about 75% done ;)).

Will the route come with the rolling stock as well? Or will it be released separately?

While there is some R&N (or predecessor Reading RR) rolling stock already available on various sites, further content should be in the works from the Jointed Rail/USLW guys. No time frames given on any of that though.

Nothing comes with the route.
 
So....
...it's not done yet because i'm making it bigger :p. And because the guys want to get their incredible custom rolling stock finalized and then we will release everything together.

Here's a shot of some of today's work: Ox Bow Curve in Lehigh Gorge. This section will extend to Penn Haven Jct. so the full Lehigh Gorge Scenic Rwy. trip can be run.


And some of the custom content currently being worked on (at Glen Onoko).


Oh, and last but not least, my new HD video. :)

Penn Haven Jct. looking south. R&N engines on the R&N portion of the Lehigh Line. It splits ownership at the switch, NS track on the right, R&N track on the left. NS engines sitting on the NS Ashmore Secondary. D&L Heritage trail to the left (abandoned Central of New Jersey mainline).

Just wanted to say again, I love your route! I love your choice of texture, foliage, and water texture. They all fit together very nicely.
 
This route is getting more beautiful with every new addition. May I suggest a soundtrack to go with the route?

The town of Mauch Chunk (aka: Jim Thorpe) will amaze you ... it's like right out of Disneyland ... super fantastic !

Yeah, the town is very, very quaint. Dad and I had the most wonderful Bed & Breakfast there when we went on the LGSR; We also saw the Jim Thorpe Memorial as well. I'm looking to go again this September, after the Acela Trip that is...
 
Jim Thorpe was a Native American olympic athelete from Oklahoma. When he died the State of Oklahoma threw him under the bus, and refused to give one dime towards his burial. The Town of Mauch Chunk (aka: "Sleeping Bear") stepped forward to pay for shipment of his body to their town, and paid for the huge granite memorial (or is it marble) ? and they re-named their town after him. Quite an honorable thing to do for a great man.

Now the local Native Americans in Oklahoma want his remains returned for burial on the Reservation ... Of course they don't want to pay for the expences ... but a huge court battle is in the works. Mauch Chunk does not wish to give up Jim Thorpe, and hopefully he will stay there. He never even visited PA, let alone Mauch Chunk. It is a beautiful setting as his final resting place.
 
I looked USLW Trainz site but did not find this your map. You mentioned that it is released in early summer ... but it did not happen.
Am sorry for my english.
