Hey all,
Just thought I'd post some pics of the route i'm working on. The Kettle valley Railway was located in southern British Columbia, Canada. It is about 350 miles in length and I am about half way done grading the track for this route. So far I have very little sceniked but here are a few shots of the famous "Belfort or Jura Loops!" This section of the route sees the line climb 1000 feet in 10 miles. The actual 'as the crow flies' distance was less than 5 miles!! To achieve this the head engineer, Andrew McCulloch, used a series of sweeping loops to climb the grassy slopes above Princeton. Here are a few pics of a train heading up the hill. Please note that I am in the very early stages of development here.
Train just past the Belfort passing track heading through the first loop
Leaving middle loop
I would also like to thank the many content creators for their help with this especially Ben Dorsey. Amazing work!! I'll have more pics with a bit more detail soon!
