WCML-N in HD

Moving into this thread for this now.

Project - WCML In HD

This started out as a simple track change.. It has now turned into a full blown project of proportions I didn't even plan to do. Originally I just changed all WCML track to Camber.. One ballast color, one concrete tie throughout the whole thing all default camber textures.That's all I originally planned to do.. 3D track throughout the entire route.. Then I got digging around and before you know it I was hours involved in work to make the entire routes track and ballast color one seamless transformation to 3D track with the appropriate ballast color changes where ever it changed from brown to grey and vice versa and the appropriated concrete and wooden tie changes also. There is little chance this will be publicly (or privately.. Don't even bother asking) available. Camber track repaints I'm unsure of.. IOW Track repaints (payware). I could maybe one day provide the new textures and bin files only and write a lengthy documentation on how to setup the repaint folders and let the end user do all the leg work... But that would be a long tutorial. So again, doubtful this might ever see the light of day.. I would love it to, but I'm in over my head creating it.. Maybe once it is done I will think about somehow letting the community have a chance to do this also.

What is new/has been done

    Completely new texture for the Cambar ballast sourced from my own personal photos. Both in grey and brown
    IOW Track with the same new ballast (brown only right now)
    IOW Track using Camber rails instead of IOW rails
    Four out of the 6 tracks WCML uses have been fully replaced
    Blurry, double vision
    6hrs of my life gone

What's left to do

    Finish repainting textures.. There are textures that are used for long distance viewing.. These aren't done yet
    Fine tune brown ballast color to match trackbed
    Make another repaint of the IOW track to give it Grey Ballast
    Finish editing Tracks.bin to replace the last two sets of tracks
    Anything else I haven't noticed wrong after this or just completely forgot about.
