Bob,
I question your sanity when I see your geological work on your maps. I don't like having to blend hills, let alone enormous features.
I would like to complement your work, but I am still trying to figure out how you can type with a strait jacket on, for I find you have to gain so many hours of good deeds to earn free hands. I have to remember to take my meds and be a good boy; which only helps until I've been reskinning for about an hour. Then I need to got insane again!
Cheers,
Joshua

The laural line is looking awesome man.
Hi Scott,
The Laurel Line starts looking mighty well.
Am I correct in supposing six hoppers is about the size for one pull for the boxcab, or can that prototipically be more. (an engineer likes to know :hehe

Well from the research I have done. A typical Laurel Line freight train would be about 6 to 15 cars. Most where around 6.
Well, I asked because of the maximum tonnage per run. Fifteen loaded hoppers would be quite heavy for one boxcab wouldn't it? Also keeping some of the grades in mind. If it's 15 for empty bringback runs, that's a different story of course.

Chama, Cresco(?), and Cumbres.
I've been having to re-lay some of the track. Chama had to be completely re-done because I was having some serious frame rate issues with the main yard. The old computer just can't handle the highly detailed track in large quantities.
Chama:
What I believe is Cresco:
And finally, Cumbres:
This is a much bigger task than I had anticipated. No train has made it past Tangle Foot Curve eastbound from Chama, nor past Mud Tunnel going westbound from Antonito. Just takes too long, and without much to look at but Hog textures and yellow squares, it's incredibly boring!

Invisible Valley Part 2
The original was quite a few years ago now, but I decided to name it the same. At the moment around 64 boards, work in progress. Shortline with strong ties to UP and SP, the BN and SF also have running rights on this fictional road. Pls have a look and any constructive comments are welcome, I am not from the US so take that into consideration, I just like to see lots of different liveries and trains. The actors in the shots are reskins of bdaneals SD9s, plus a lot of the other locos and cars have been either weathered or reskinned.
1st shot is about 3 miles from South entry Portal, at the small town of Echo.

2nd shot leaving Echo heading north.
