Nice shot Bill. Feels real like always. Nice detail with the signs and relay box. 
Could I make a polite suggestion? I'm NOT a route building pro by any means but I noticed that the road in your shot looks really jagged. I found that for some roads, you can make them straight if you minimize the spline points you have, click on the lay rail button and then select the straighten button and click on the road in question. This works for *most* splines and can help make a smoother curve.
Perhaps though, you are trying to show the road going over a crest, if so it's cool but yeah I just thought I'd pass this tidbit of information along (you learn something new everyday right?). I always figure a road *should* have a smooth gradient and smooth curves but in my travels I've seen a lot of roads in need of repair. :hehe:
Anyhow, keep up the great work! I'm looking very much forward to this release!

I am guessing you do have beta testers!
If no I am available if need be.

Thanks Brandon - I may be able to get you the completed route very very shortly. Check back within the next day or so.
Here the Moss Creek local is about to depart Grafton Yard....
The local is now on the Moss Creek branch creeping at 10 mph on the light rail. The log empties are headed for loading at the logging camp tonight.
Here is a video of the local at two different locations later on the chase:

mmm e-mail me the essay tour,,, i would like read it....
e-mail it to clayt@newwavecomm.net
I have not yet posted the layout to a site at this time. I would love to share the layout.
I have completed an 12 page essay "tour" of the line and its branches and industries, a 34 page employee timetable that includes track charts and schematics for the entire line, train symbols and their destinations and service areas, a list of industries and their commodities and the commodity's destination, and speed limits and special rules. --- I have also made a 11 page operating rule book that is loosely based on Conrail's old Form D operation.
The drawbacks that I think would stop anyone from wanting my layout is that it is heavily scenic with lots of details and would not work well on low end graphics machines. Also, the operation is Form D "track warrant" operation and therefore the layout contains no lighted trackside signals -- only block limit signals or stations.
I could post the 12 page route "tour" somewhere (I don't know how to post pdf files anywhere) and folks could read the tour to see if the layout would be of interest.[/quote]
