I am hoping to release the route at the end of this week 53 years after the last revenue train on the northern section and 1 year after the last version was released. Version 2 will have the complete main line from Ridgway to Durango as well as some of the Branch's. I now only have about 2 miles of scenery to place between Franklin and Durango and apart from a few siding markers and mileposts the route is complete. I hope to get all of that done in the next day or two... Here are a few screenshots on the East Mancos Loop

RE: Rio Grande Southern Route Update

There you go Jonathan, that's the idea. Lot's of trees and bushes and sage brush. Maybe do some more custom ground textures with some rock formations or something. Some things to make it more interesting than the old monotonous ground for a hundred miles.Kevin Bush,

Thanks, I will also release RGS 461 with the route. I think the download size for the download size for the route will be about 180MB but will be split into about 8 files. http://groups.msn.com/MSTSNarrowGauge (Now being updated more oftern)

I know this is late but, check these out. These may help your route.
Just type in RGS, Rio Grande Southern, RGS 20 or Rico, or any other subject involving the RGS. http://photoswest.org:8080/cgi-bin/cw_cgi?getBasicTerms+11431
Also this one may help to get familier to the area.http://terraserver.microsoft.com/image.aspx?t=2&s=11&x=618&y=10485&z=13&w=2 Ophir Topo Maphttp://terraserver.microsoft.com/image.aspx?t=1&s=11&x=618&y=10485&z=13&w=2 Ophir Areal Photo
I hope these will help, and I'll be wait here till it comes out

RE: Rio Grande Southern Route Update

Sorry Zach, I would make it if I could! But I live about 800 miles away, 12 hour drive. This year I drove 48 hours total to Chama and back to Omaha again. I went there for 2 weeks in June and July, then early October. That 5-Chime whistle on 487 sure is alot nicer than the flat top Reading 6-Chime that was on it last year and most of this season isn't it Zach! Kevin Bush,
