Well, yeah! The route looks great! I like these kinda lines. Sure I'd gladly try the route out.By the way, nice lookin' engine with that silver boiler and all As for downloading anything in the route style, sorry no can do. My damn big brother is gonna clean the hard-drive in a week So that means: CD burnin' time. After that I re-install MSTS, I'll check out what's been happenin' around here.

RE: Rio Grande Southern Route Screenshots
I will upload it then I get to rico and when I have done some other stuff to it like adding more hills and buiulding and the boring stuff. It should be for beta testing hopefully it the next 8 to 12 weeks (I hope). And uploaded it the next 16 weeks. It may seem like a long time but I still have alot to do.Jonathan
Previously you said you needed my e-mail address to send me some repaints. Do you still need it and if yes,I'll post it in this topic.JohnFuture Cumbres & Toltec or Durango & Silverton engineer! (I'm only 13)
JonathanIsn't "placeville" suppose to be "Placerville." You also mispelled "Ridgway."Jonathan, you seem so excited about this route. I beg and plead to do it with real DEM's!! You're doing a great job but it makes no sense to just make the terrain as you go. These other people will agree that doing it right will make a huge difference. Its even easier than you'd think. PLEASE RECONSIDER!!Nick
>>If I start using real DEM's will I need to start all over again.Yes. Unfortunately you will. BUT, the route will look great if you do. >>I am using Mapamrt.com to place in all the hills.Are you just using maps from there though? You'll need the DEM's. DEM's will be 100% accurate, and won't make your hills look like Mesas (like they do by creating them yourself) Your way seems a lot harder than using the real terrain. It takes a big time investment at first but it will pay off. Are you in more of a hurry to get it done, or make it look right? Every person in the forum that is making a real route has gone through these steps. Only people that make fantasy routes would make the terrain up like you have. Nick
