No fair! I wanted to repaint 2472! All kidding aside, nice work!

That repaint sure looks nice. It is going to look great in the route. I made it up to the yard with track and all the way to Sunol with the Southern Pacific Track. The Union Pacific track is close to the yard but not all the way to Sunol yet. Most of the scenery is done up to the Farwell Bridge. Here are a couple of screen shots of the Wig Wags at the Yard.

I know that's Brightside in the shots but it sure looks weird with no scenery.

You are right but give me a month and hopefully i will have scenery there by then. I am putting roads track and river in today and fixing up the terrain to match what is there in real life. The DEM data comes pretty close but it is off a little bit. So i go in and use Google Earth as a guide to match it as close as I can. I am going to stop putting scenery down for a few days and finish with the track roads and such. I still have to put in route markers for the route i am working on that. Once all of the track is in I think i will put all of the signal in. I need everyones help on what signals are used there for both the scenic railroad side and the Union Pacific side. I have a small map of the route but it is hard for me to see. Does anyone have a larger map for me to use. I am 60 years old now and i don't see like i did when i was younger that is life. I tried to contack the people that run the scenic railroad but no one have replied to me. They would probably have alot of information for me to use. Any suggestions on who i should try to contack there. I have gone to there website i will try again.

Brightside Yard is in. Don't worry about the hill behind it I will fix that once I start scenery work there.

That's awesome. You even have the bridge pier right next to the road like in real life. I was following a big rig through there one day, and he cut to close to that pier and lost a mirror.
Geez, that must have been 25 or 30 years ago.
Oh the memories of home.

They have painted the road facing sides white, which has held up pretty well over the last several years.

I did not do any work on the route today. Instead I made some videos here they are. https://youtu.be/8nPCpMM3URM https://youtu.be/dRaxc8NGPcE https://youtu.be/D57w-Rf_iDo https://youtu.be/Bwbo5ZLxD9g
