FWIW.

I just had 3 assets go through and be approved.

YR Rocks 1 Group a....now you can have rocks just like mine thanks to JVC.

YR Woodchip stacker....for your paper mills.

and the

YR Limestone Unloader - Rail N-S.

They all should be on the download station tomorrow.

Dave Snow and Euphod for all their wonderful buildings and Reskins.

One lonely gas station in a sea of trees...You're welcome! The route is looking great, I admire your tenacity.

Look at the first shot.

The rural municipal, or fire staiton....every small town has one. The fact that you didn't see it...means I'm doing good.

Cause if it were outa place you'd picked it right out like that brick 2 story post office for a city.

From now on, It's where's Waldo. You'll have to find them on your own....no help from me.:wave:

It's in both shots BTW.

 

[Euphod]

Fair enough . I admit I didn't see it because I didn't scroll over. The PC I'm using know only shows about half your screen, and I don't have the authority to adjust the settings. Carry on, and thanks for the tip o the hat.

I've got to say one more thing..

About the trees.

There are Bears up there, they don't live in the cities.

Twenty-four? Years ago I took my Wife on a Canadian Fishing Trip into Canada. The First week we camped out in the Missanabbi Game Perserve pure 1 million acres of wilderness. The next week all our friends joined us at a resort with running water.

During that week 2, campers were drug from their Tent up in the game perserve and partially eaten by a Bear and Killed.

I've always considered myself lucky. FWIW.,

 

[wawasoo]

Then about Bears...

Make sure you are carrying a few Bear Beers with you if you are up in the bush.

You bean a Black Bear in the head with a 12oz er....and he'll back down. Done it.

But Moose....stay away from the Mama...and the Babies....She'll stomp you to death.

Lucky is sometimes the same as "unappetizing".

My New Father-in-law.

Lucky is sometimes the same as "unappetizing".

It was our honeymoon...he told me to eat canned bacon...my wife too. After a week the black fies were not bothering us...when most around us looked like they were keeping bees, or Martians with bug net astronaut hats on.

I laugh.

If you ever get up there, (like our economy totally collapes and we raid their store of Walleyes)...eat canned bacon. If the bugs won't eat you neither will the Bears I figure.

 

[wawasoo]

Don't need them for this route...

No steel mills. But I converted a Couple of Taconite Unloaders for use at Steel Mills. A E-W & N-S Taconite Unloader......every Steel Mill out there needs one of these.

I figure if I keep building Iron Ore assets...somebody will build a decent Ore hopper to haul the materials. I'm kinda getting tried of coal only hoppers. Time for a change let's make some steel baby! I'm gonna create the demand for a Iron Ore, Taconite Pellet Ore Jenny.

I think I got that Taconite color down.

Take a look at this LS&I ore Car all dusted up with Taconite.

Did someone say ore hopper??? Caught a loaded CN ore train coming from the Wawa Mine headed for Sault Saint Marie's steel plant....CN leased a few of these Conrail SD80's to get the job done

 

[wawasoo]

Where did those come from?

I haven't seen those before.

 

[WCL]

I needed something to haul my ore in from Wawa to SSAM and these guys showed up in the yard.

Nice try...

But those look like a reskin of MILW.

 

[WCL]

They were on the DLS back in the day...Now they are no longer on there...But I found that site for other ore cars ya could use :Y:

 

[Euphod]

These could get you close:

Nothing some error correction and skinning won't solve.
