Ron,

It looks really good, it is nice to see you have been continuing on the route.

Hi Ron,

The Screenshots look rather promising. Do keep up the good work.

Just wanting to make you aware, from the screenshots I have seen; on the Download Station, I have uploaded some content like a standard QR 60ft Engine Shed (which was based off the one at Dugandan), QR Carriage Shed, Section Car Sheds of various sizes and a few other pieces of content. If need be; they are roll back compatible with 2010. I have invited you to my file sharing folder for the files; and a few items I made for your project. You will need to download - Dropbox and accept my invitation by email.

Sincerest Regards,

M.Gitsham

Hi Ron,

Well done; and I have some news for you on why the place is called 'Red Bridge' from my travels down to Boonah recently talking to the Historical Society. I have been informed there was a timber and steel viaduct with a short lattice span over the road similar to Lockyer Creek bridge at Coominya. These were supplanted from either the Tooowomba Range or elsewhere . There were only two steel piers holding the span over the road. It was a local landmark, which could be seen for miles and the road which came later was named after the bridge. It was removed after the line closed. If I can have a copy of the route; I can measure up the bridge to suit, and add the spans as a track side attachment similar to speedboards.

Secondly, I have deposited a few items into the dropbox. Further more items, will come.

All the best.
