It looks wonderful so far, and Chinese routes are very scarce, so it would be a great addition to Trainz!

Nice shot NetJam99! I think the 40's vehicles add a unique look to things you don't see every day. And of course, there were still a lot of 1930s cars still going in the 1940s, especially when the manufacturers converted to the war effort, and you could not buy 1940s cars!

Did a bit more work tonight, pushing a mile or so further north we here see a Southern Freight crossing the large Whisky River Trestle (Thanks Trainz Forge, truely a work of art. Freeware to boot!)
Southern Passenger Train pushing through blizzard conditions in the Mountains of Kentucky. The seasonal terrain and trees are really cool that are available now. Just got to find some shrubs and bushs in that category!

After playing with DARTrider's modules some, finally found the motivation to create route modules of my own, particularly focused on different smaller cities and towns in mostly flat areas (using Basemapz, so...yeah). Here's a few pictures of my own module of Estherville, Iowa:
Haven't tried building a route in a few years, and this is definitely the first one where i've put in more effort on buildings, scenery and textures than in the past, so it's nothing spectacular to look at, but just thought i'd share them. Not the only module i'm doing, either. I have one for Jesup planned, and i'm going to do one for the old Illinois Central line from Brighton, Tennessee to Fulton, Kentucky as well (might do a separate Millington module once i've made enough progress on that line)
And i do know that Estherville has no Birdseye plant, but decided to add that as i didn't know what to use for Estherville Foods Inc., so even though it's throwing in a little fiction, i figured this would work as a substitute. Forgot to change the session date to July, so that explains why most of the trees look dead

Looks good Chiro! What are you using for water in the first and last shots?
