Jul-30-01, 01:17 PM (EST) "The Western Coast Xpress RR - Development Progress" There are a great many contributing artisans out there who have helped me along the way during the development of this route. These photos (and a great many more on our website), are a testament to what can now be accomplished when communities put their heads together.Many thanks to (in no particular order) Conn McCarthy, Harold Clitheroe, Jacob Mach, John Stanford and "Mr. Anonymous".Apologies for the large pictures - they're JPG format for faster loading. Visit our site below for more!DEM extraction made possible by JohnCS' version 0.5 tool

Additonal MSTS objects thanks to Jim S

GP38 Engine compliments of Harold Clitheroe

Sound effects and animiation enhancements from MANY postings

Forest object "tips" from MANY masters

Jul-30-01, 02:54 PM (EST) 2. "RE: The Western Coast Xpress RR - Development Progress" For sure! John will be up there today =) I'm just itchin' to get my hands on that engine unit!The scenery all along the route will be MORE detailed than Hatzic - that's a pretty rural, low-key town. Downtown Vancouver and the North Shore will probably be Christmas (end of the line route), and will entail both the CPRail yard lines, and the crossing CN and BNSF lines - with some detail of the north shore.I'm just needing someone to model some container freighters, and some coal, sulfur and oil freighters - those are all in use along the inlet and river.Kern

Aug-01-01, 01:41 PM (EST) 8. "RE: The Western Coast Xpress RR - Development Progress" No need to apologize, It wasn't a complaint....just a comment.....Harold could have done the same work easily, he just chose to go with the "heritage" GP-38 skin....which looks great as well Thats what's good about Hac & myself, we VERY RARELY do the same things....Until the GO_F7s that is.....hehe,Tim Kent
