Hang in there Brian. I know Tori is already proud of you, and it would do Pete proud if you see this thru. It is one awesome looking route. I'm amazed when I look back at the screenshots how outstanding this route is.

I have finally managed to unstall this after issue with my 2013-14 update (but that is another story) All I can say is Wonderful work.

I do have a couple of issues I am hoping somebody that already has it instal;led, or B-24 can help with - I have no track over the wooden trestles and the warehouse / sawmill down in Anthony has smoke emitting from about 40 feet in the air, but from nothing (no smoke stacks / chimneys etc) . I have installed all of the files that were included in the 2 mediafire downloads (and already had Tori's COA installed), so I am missing something just not sure what.

Didnt have a very good night last night, so in the wee small hours thought I would tinker with my BCLCo RR install and see what I could find and update my last post. I still have no track over the trestles, but the trains while crossing the wood do not derail I still am missing the chimneys for the warehouse / factory down near Anthony, so still have smoke emitting mid air. Adjusted the graphic display settings down a notch from Custom to Highest but has made no difference. Pointers anybody??

Still having issues with other routes, but at least I can get into this one (and the COA)

he used a ton of assets for that route so you might want to run RW_Tools on it and see what you missing

I sent him a reply via PM.

The link no longer works. Darn it looks like home I hope you can get it back on here.

[B-24_LIBERATOR]

Hmm, I haven't changed it in any way.

[B-24_LIBERATOR]

Okay I see the problem, the forum cut out the middle bit for some reason. and I iz fixin' it now

Alright got it to download thanks. It looks a whole lot like the mountains in NC. Tweetsie or the Etwnc as you might know it by. lol ! Now I'm talking about the the old Etwnc not the amusement park. Well let me see if I can get her to run. Thanks again.

Good luck! I finally got around to installing and running it and it looks amazing.

I derailed the Shay B on the switchbacks on the way to Camp 1. I guess I need to slow down.

Also, the Shay C only shows the couplers. I'm still trying to figure out why.

The landscape is real terrain located at Anthony, WV (Greenbrier County). Henderson Lumber Company was located there from 1903 to sometime in the 19-teens. The company of approximately 50 employees was longer in operation by 1920. In 1904 they purchased Climax steam locomotive #532. The sawmill in Bumbleberry Creek (a.k.a. Bauer Lumber Co.) is located approximately where the Henderson mill stood (Google Earth 37.892940 -80.334332 to see). I met a man living on that property who often dug up small (3") track spikes in his garden and there is still evidence of the log races (as depicted). The trackbed up Anthony Creek is a popular hiking trail today, but I doubt Henderson ran tracks up the two steep hollows like you see in the BCL/BLC route for TS. I ran those two spurs to simulate what the logging tracks were like upriver at Cass, WV (present-day Cass Scenic RR)... and just to make it fun.

Since Anthony Creek provides a rare gap through the long continuous Greenbrier Mountain (east side of the river), I suspect that the mill served several timbering outfits around Anthony, up the creek and possibly into the next valley to the east. A wooden trestle over the Greenbrier River or Anthony Creek would most likely have been washed out by Spring floods most years so rebuilding it repeatedly must have been worthwhile ($$$). As of 1901, the Greenbrier Subdivision provided easy delivery of cut lumber to the C&O mainline, eliminating the practice of floating logs downriver to the Mullican Mill in Ronceverte.

So I went ahead and downloaded the version I had off mediafire and realized there's a few things missing from the freeware pack. I believe they're all from the Golden age of Railroading. I can't remember the exact names but I believe them to be the rural buildings and the mining houses.

Also I think I'm missing a few more things...

It's a dairy farm out here.

Brian, do you know if the Shay C that's in the free roam has the reskin that Shayfan did for you? I'm only getting couplers on the C.
If so, is it available anywhere?

Thanks!

The BBCLCo.RR skin is in the "skins & BBC" file that you downloaded, you have to move the Geopx files from the default shay into the new BBCLCo.RR folder. Those files are the actual model files, can't be handing those out with the skin
