That makes me want to go buy some bug repellent and a fishin license.

It is a pity this great work does not have superelevations on curves ... but a beautiful journey ... and well modeled.

It is a pity this great work does not have superelevations on curves ... but a beautiful journey ... and well modeled.

The route does have superelevation on the majority of curves on the main line, including those pictured. I had originally laid a mixture of superelevated and non canted curves based on the prototype information I had when I laid the track in 2014. After speaking with some folks who had ran the line, I later updated the majority of the mainline.

As of now, the White City branch, Yreka Western RR, and Weed yard are the only lines without superelevation.

Good news ... in fact the check rail on curves is one of the things I like best in this simulator. From what I saw so far, only have to praise this work. We have a date for the final realization of this route?

It will be done when it's done.

Wait so we have to wait til it's done I thought it would be done in the first three minutes, shame on me
(This is sarcasm btw)

Buzz said it right; I'm not going to even guess as to when this will be out and available. I plan on 'releasing' the southern half of the route as a beta of sorts once I complete scenery from Black Butte to Medford (95 miles). I have about 35 miles of this complete to date.

To give you an idea of progress, in the 'asset intense' area that I'm working on now, I'm only averaging 1/8 mile of scenery per hour. The section between Grenada and Montague should go faster, but at 10-12 hours working time per week, its going to be a while...
