Nice shots guys.

Ekankal,on post 3827,the last image:Would you know where to get that derelict looking air-cooled rear engine car? I can't seem to find it on the DLS.

Unfortunately, I just remember that it was on a Russian site I found it, not which one, but it is called RED ZAZ 1 <kuid:198708:254> made by author sanie if it is of any use.

I liked the derelict car too. So I used Trainz:kuid:index (Editorial: A great service! I recommend it.) to find it. I did.

So go here: http://ozmt.ru/uo-2/#content

Find: Скачать карту and click it. You should be asked if you want to download some files: "UO-2 3.7". It will be a RAR file with 6 archives. It's about 656 megs. The RED_ZAZ_1 is in the CDP file which Winrar shows as 470,125,521 in size.

As an aside there are 4 RED_ZAZ cdps, all derelict cars.
I have to say that the Russian Trainers create some great assets, but sometimes it's like teeth, a pain to extract. But usually worth the pain.

Here is a shot from The Kettle Valley Railroad at Brookmere. The car is to the right.

That's all from me today.

[Forester1]

Thanks for the tip Michael! Is the Kettle Valley route available somewhere?

 

[jackyamstel]

Some good looking CP equipment, Erik!

Oknotsen, nice shots of the prairies.

Michael, it was good of you to let us know how to get that old car. Thanks! And the route is looking good!

Forester1, I could be mistaken but I think the Kettle Valley is still being worked on by Michael.

This shot of mine shows Mitt Lake in the foreground and Boulder Lake behind. I'm pretty sure both are just big sloughs.
Cheers, Jack

 

[oknotsen]

Thank you.

Some more of the same area. Some areas still missing some paint left and right.

 

[VIA6415]

Nice work guys!

I'll be posting some screens soon ones I get TS19 sorted out.

 

[jackyamstel]

Some more nice shots, Oknotsen.

Looking forward to seeing some TRS19 shots of your work, VIA.

I hope all my fellow Canadians are having a nice Thanksgiving weekend!
Cheers, Jack

Hi Folks;
Jack: I had a big Thanksgiving dinner. Yum.
Inspiring pictures posted here! Thanks to everyone! I check in daily.

WRT The Kettle Valley Railroad: 456 km of track, 925.6 MB in Build 94916 (it was 553 MB in TS12) It is about 20% done.

Cheers,
--Michael.
PS My eldest son introduced me to Subnautica, a single person survival game. It is highly addictive, if you, like me, like this kind of game. I have played 374 hours so far. Has put a dent in route building ;-(

Michael, we had my wife's family over for Thanksgiving. Everybody brought something. Good meal, good time!
That's a big route! And only 20% done!
I had a look at that Subnautica game. It looks pretty good but I think I'll stay away. I'd get nothing done around the house between that and Trainz.
Cheers, Jack

wuthering heights Canadian Rocky Mountains



TS19 lonely heights reached.
I lose more and more time to finish my totally new TS19 based routes as more and more corners make me sit and enjoy Canada at its best.

Lonely heights maybe Roy, but what a view!

Mile 118.36 on the Watrous Sub.

Early morning westbound view from the observation dome on "The Canadian".

 

[shebashetan7]

Since Illinois Central is today a CN line, why not look back at it's history with some classic steam action?

 

[jackyamstel]

Casey, I remember seeing a similar view coming back from Vancouver with VIA as I rode in the dome car and watched the sun come up near Biggar. Nice shot!

Good ones from you, shebashetan7.
Cheers, Jack

 

[CaseyBerg]

Casey, I remember seeing a similar view coming back from Vancouver with VIA as I rode in the dome car and watched the sun come up near Biggar. Nice shot!

Grabbing front row seats in the dome is like claiming a chair by the pool. You gotta get up early! Cheers

Is that Ocemy’s D38 in that screenshot, Jacky?
Looks great!
