• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

The route is a great deal.

Not only do ya get the route, but ya get all kind of rollin stock, plus 4 diffrent engines, all with several diffrent numbers.

The route alone would be worth the money, the cars an engiens are just a great bonus!!
 
Looks cold! lol... Love the way they did the snow on the ground, tire tracks on the roadways, only the rails are visible. Nice looking engines and stock as well.

Thanks for showing the screenshots.

How many times did you have to use the Sand option for bogie traction?

Yeah, they really did a good job on this route.

Not to many times really. The newer computor loco's with controlled slipage trucks don't slip that much. Some how they've modeled that in the engine file.

Now say I had some F units, or even some SD40-2's, I'd prolly had to have the sanders on the whole way up the mountain, an prolly more units to make it.

I still really needed another engine anyways. I was in the red alot of the ways up. Not sure a "real" train could've made it without havin trouble with one of the engines. I got down to 12mph runnin in notch8 for a purty good while. Wasn't sure I was gonna make it!!
