This is great news, those models look VERy impressive. !!!b I've been playing around with both the early route , which has a lot of terrain and other inaccuracies and the trainz italia route in both 2010 and 2012 for about a year now, i am no 3d modeller, so it has been mostly researching the correct tree species ,replacing the mistakes regarding correct tree species etc , finding the correct rock and cutting features and track alignment . Not being in the states, i've had to rely on the internet and the excellent " rails that climb" book which i actually found a pristine copy of here in adelaide of all places. i have lot of images that i have found that you might not have , just let me know if you want to use them and i'll put them up on a file share . I've found the Denver public library files really useful but also youtube video taken by trail bikers and 4wd drivers who have pretty much taken video of the entire route. . good luck with the project , it makes me feel less guilty for not going further with my version.
i hope there are plans to build one of the wonderful 2-6-6-0's- that would be a dream come true . heres some of the rollins landscaping i did , based on original images from the route before the moffat tunnel was built, a lot being early days, but i doubt if the river meanderings changed much- its very different now, all these scenes are incomplete as was modifying it constantly as i found new info , eventually i stopped work to see if a new version would come out for TANE as i didn't want to waste my time on such a large layout until a more accurate version was available.
