Dear TDHenderson and Buzz, Thank you ! Feedback is essential to this work. I work to push the envelope in assets and density throughout to get the 'look' I am trying to achieve. When I hear from you ... that's the big pay off for me. "Stunning" Is a word I very much enjoy seeing.
The work in Orange County is quintessential New York. This is what the rest of the state looks like. When I started the route, I decided not to go any further West than Highland Mills because of three things: Topography, Trees and the 2 Trestles. At the time is was impossible for me to portray the place to be recognizable. Now, I can do it. And do it in such a way that you can see trees for well over a mile away and not destroy your FPS. But even more importantly is give the expanse of the valleys. In this release, when you poke your head out of the cab, you will KNOW you are: on one side of a Valley, at a higher elevation then the valley floor and because of depth of filed be able to discern distance. That's what I want to you to do ... sense you are in a real place and then think nothing more about it as your train winds around the mountain.
Enjoy our journey together and keep the feedback coming.
