Feather River Canyon - UP's Canyon Sub

Wow. I kinda envy you. Your route had a Roundhouse, I am hard pressed to find one along mine

I have to ask though, I don't see any work pits in your decal, did they fill them in, or were they never there to begin with?

Work pits? Do you mean the pit on front of the roundhouse?
If yes, that's something I will add soon.
There's only the baseplate of the roundhouse left. It burned down someday in the 70s I think.

Actually I meant the pits under the engines when they are in the house so repairs could be done from underneath. I figured they would have to be filled in or they would be a hazard, but I also expected to see some of the ground turned up to show that they were there.

Ah ok, I see what you mean. I don't know if they are filled or not, hard to tell from Google Earth.
But if possible I could make em.

Allright, Michael, you snuck this skin in on us. That is one handsome livery. Now, give it up! (please?)

[thecanadianrail]

it's been avalable in the file library for quite some time now....

Yes, on page 2 of the rollingstock section. Repaints by Michael Zimmer.

Unfortunately they are not mine. I wish I could do such repaints, but I have totally no idea of repainting.
But thank you chris for the confidence.

I still wait for RS.com to do the complete heritage fleet.

btw how did you get the repaints to work? i still get that error whw\en i try and place some of them

1. Copy "SD70ACe_Default.GeoPcDx" into each "Engine" folder.
2. Copy the "Bogies, Cabview, Driver and Simulation" folders into each folder.
3. Clear the blueprint cache

I hope this helps.

no i am having the other problem, where sometimes it will work and the othertime i get a fatal error from trying to place it. only the DRGW, and SP units work without flaws, the WP unit sometimes works and the rest will alwayse get a fatal error. i have the correct files in the correct places. i recall there was a thread which solved the problem but that was some time ago and i can't remember what it was called......

The search function is something some people oversee.

For me everything works fine. Some engines use the DRGW .GeoPCDx file.

Canada, If you read the linked thread you will see I had the same problem. I eventually fixed this problem by removing the folders (again), redownloading the skins, and following the steps (again). I cannot tell you what I did wrong, or what was the real fix.

You're never going to get that route built if you keep playing.

I slowly get the same impression.
But my target today is to reach the Pulga Bridges with track. It's going very fast now as it's mainly single tracked.

The only thing that makes progress so slow is my accuracy obsession. I want everything very accurate.

We appreciate your diligence. Keep up the good work!
