Australian screenshots

for vegetation on dunes, I've never seen anything but sparse long grass or brightish green ground cover vine type stuff(not a gardener, you can tell cant you)

I studied the dune ecosystem in highschool, and the scrubby grass is 'spinifex' but the distance away from the railway means I'll likely impair performance but putting down thousands of grass objects. I'll likely put down some scrubby trees and bushes for effect, and leave it at that.

Colhad, cheers for that mate, I had a look, and I see the ones you mean :D.

Anyone know if there is any NSW Surf Lifesaving stuff out there, i'm mostly interested in the red/yellow flags, or some kind of beach "HQ" for them (usually called a surf lifesaving club?)
 
Anyone able to recommend a ground texture or a texture that represents spinifex on a dark brown earth ground?
Thanks
Zec
 
@ Davie boy, The yellow looks right now:p Still looks a little strange the front. I can't pick it and I don't think everyone else has said anything so don't worry. (and btw, stop showing off nerd:p lol)

Those 620/ 720 are drop dead georgeous. Any Chance of a Freightcorp liviried 45 aswell? God I Love Living in Newcastle, but last sSaturday it was a bit melancholy to see the trains all running with explorers and Hunter Railcars :(

This trestle is soon to be replaced as apart of the lines re-opening.

Hello all,
My first post in this thread, with my first Australian route only spent a couple of hours on it so far but I am open to suggestions and tips on how to improve, I have no idea of what Australia really looks like (not the t.v. version;)) so here are the pictures...

If you want an idea what Australia looks like go here:

The X2000 runs in Sweden and China.
3 cars from the train came to Australia for testing and trips were available to the public.
A whole set also when to America at one stage to which afterwards they got the Acela train I believe.
