RE: BNSF Powder River Basin Route by JohnCS

Haven't you ever hear of patience? After waiting 2 years surely you could wait a while longer, couldn't you?And no, the previous images were far from perfect - though they're getting closer. Here are a couple new images to silence the masses. (Which incidentally represent the work of many more individuals than just myself).

Whatever runs on this route, will look just perfectly.-JohnCS, I am indeed very patient. And I will be patient in the future. But I was just curious, because I suddenly remembered your route, and havent heard from it for ages.BTW, when the last images were shown, there was already more detail than on some freeware routes out here. Now this new images are even better!Cheers!SebastianFeel free to IM me on: sstyrnol@hotmail.com

RE: BNSF Powder River Basin Route by JohnCS

The propane tanks are the thing that keeps the switches from freezing in the snow, ice, whatever. IIRC, that would be Shawnee Junction at the southern end of the Orin Sub where the UP's Powder River Sub joins the BNSF line for the run to the mines.Austin

How are those flocks of dorn bushes called, which roll over the prairie in windy conditions. Those would look very nice as animated objects in that route...-JohnCS, you and your team mates are really talented modelers!Cheers!SebastianFeel free to IM me on: sstyrnol@hotmail.com

Nice job! The route looks great. As always, JohnCS is at the fore-front of route building. I especially like the UP style signals in the first pic. Man it would be nice if those were released (hint hint) Nick

John, the hotbox DED came out real well. Are you planning on making customized track sections to go along with it? I am experimenting with linking recordings of actual dragging equipment sounds to track objects from the file library. WJC

I seem to recall reading in this forum earlier that it'd be payware.
Sure as hell looks to be well worth whatever it is gonna cost though

On the DEM-EX site it is stated as an upcoming payware route!Now I see a couple of things like the wonderful GEs und EMDs of NALW running ahead of long strings of coal hoppers. I see actual challenging railroading and loooooots of traffic!Great job!Cheers!SebastianFeel free to IM me on: sstyrnol@hotmail.com
