Today, I went out and got some shots of West Coast Railway's steam trip from Melbourne to Ballarat. I only got as far as Melton Wier before dinner. R711 leading the train through Footscray. Middle Footscray. I have been here in real life, looks spot on in MSTS! R711 crossing a stored juice jack (electric train) R711 just outside Melton. Heres one for you Adam. Home town of Melton! The following shots are of a photostop on Melton Wier. Hope you enjoy the shots. Gotta love the new steam sounds in the library! Sounds like the real thing! >Mike Forster< Perth, Western Australiapacificnational_nr103@hotmail.com

Thanks for the kind words Bob! If you would like it as a wallpaper, email me sometime, give me your resolution of your computer and I'll see what I can do for you! >Mike Forster< Perth, Western Australiapacificnational_nr103@hotmail.com
hehehe, you can tell im a "New School railfan" hey?? Nah, i have no idea how to drive steam, so I just through her on Automatic Fireman! >Mike Forster< Perth, Western Australiapacificnational_nr103@hotmail.com
Mike,Even in auto-fireman ... they do allow you to do some work !! On start-up, let the wheels do a few rotations to blow out the residual water, and then hit the "C" key to close the cylinder cocks. With all that pretty steam stuff for you to choose from .. we gotta get you qualified to handle it !!Bob K.
"Home" is about 500 Yds. from the famous "Pequest Fill" on the abandoned "DL&W Cutoff"
