I hope you all enjoy. Please let me know of any issues.


What are those? Ash pits? Or inspection/lubricating tracks?

Can you please do some US water sprouts? I don't think these are available yet. And most likely very welcome for the RWA asset collection.

That is locomotive wash rack I built from plans I found online; this is what the C & O used in Hinton WV. I have a bunch of plans of older C & O building that I want to make and release. Slowly but surely they will get done.

Excellent, C&O stuff !!!
You have taken the H.A.E.R. collection as your source material? They are still available online at the US Library of Congress, otherwise COHS sells a CD with the same drawings.

I haven't visited the Hinton historical site lately, wonder if it is still online? There used to be one dedicated to Clifton Forge and the C&O shops there as well, but that site has disappeared I think.

This is where I have gotten all of the drawings thus far: http://hinton.cohs.org/Drawings.html#Freight. I have not checked the Library of Congress yet, but I should as it may have more stuff. Do you have a specific link?

http://www.loc.gov/pictures/search/?q=Hinton&co=hh, should get you started.
Where is a lot on Thurmond, WV, too. And on the mines on those C&O branches off the New River sub.

Here are some gates I whipped up for you all to play with. Also, the I have improved the track side fuel tank; added and improved the geometry and textures as well as adding a shadow bake. I hope you all enjoy.

Beautiful job on those fuel tanks. Trackside items like that really add realism to the route. Thank you so much for your efforts.

Thank you for the kind replies. I have a few more models to finish up and I will release another pack of assets, hopefully in another week. I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! !*salute*!
