89?? That's 31!! Plus, it's kinda scary that there is two versions of 31. Nice work on the (as we call it) coalpile! Just wondering........how far has the release date been pushed back to?Mike

Thanks!I changed out the loader and used photoTextures to make things more realistic (doesn't show up well in the screenshots though)Chris
*LOL* I was just about to ask the same question myself! Hey Chris, I have a question, and this is based purely on curiousity: have you found any decent candidates for 90 or 475 yet? I myself would figure that 4-8-0s, and 2-10-0s for that matter, would be pretty difficult to find.Also, a quick suggestion on the ground elevation of the line: at the end of the yard, the track travels slightly uphill through Fairview to Esbenshade, then it drops on a 1.5% grade to Cherry Hill. From there, it continues to drop slightly until Leaman Place Junction. Just thought you might like to know. __________________________ Strasburg Railroad Enthusiast Check out my website! www.freewebs.com/src_railfan

The problem is it's difficult to raise the track, road and corn so they look good together. I've already tweeked it once, I might play with it some more. MSTS terrain is very unforgiving and difficult as *ell to work with. It's like if you wanted to put a raised flower bed in your backyard, you would have to raise part of your yard, your neighbor's yard and the front street to raise a small patch of your yard, but now 1/2 your basement is exposed.Chris
