Totally off topic but congratulations btvdf. You started this thread over 8 years ago and you are still going strong:clap:
 
Hi,

I live in the valley myself -- I can hear the horns from my home in Studio City.

Silly question -- I don't see this route in DLS (I use TANE...)

:wave: Pictures and info looking great as always, WOW has it been 8 years, time fly's when your having the time of your life on grand project such as this one..

I do remember in my younger days, seeing dirty grungy looking SP Junk Trains rolling down the middle of the 10 Fwy, and there yards in LA as I drove down San Fernando Rd, LA......

I think you have done a phenomenal job of capturing it in your project........Looking really good.......:udrool:.
 
Yup still building this dang thing, so many changes have come to be with this route in the fact that I lost the original route file.
Well I started over and it's a hell of a lot better now. It is being built in T12 but will work in Tane without errors so far.
I will try and make a video over the long weekend to show the progress.
 
Back when the Germans invaded Los Angeles on the Southern Pacific. Here we see first and second generation Diesel Hydraulic Locomotives meeting for the first time in a new land far from where they were born.

As the sun sets on the Coast Line Route curve, we see a south bound empty oil can consist passing the slide detector fence.
