Raton Pass route

[_o_OOOO_oo-Kanawha]

This is what the Santa Fe skin looks like outside the USA.

LOL, is it only the road name that is licensed, not that world famous War Bonnet paint scheme?

@_o_OOOO_oo-Kanawha - I believe BNSF let the trademark on the warbonnet run out some time ago, hence why a few other railroads have since picked it up (namely Navajo Mining Railroad). So in this case, if I'm not mistaken, it shouldn't be an issue.

Also, would anyone care to post a screenshot of the hi-rail?

I don't care about legal issues over paint schemes, that is for well paid corporate lawyers. But it is nice to know there is a distinctive Native American successor to the War Bonnet paint scheme.

Yes, please! Post some screen shots with each piece of rolling stock.

I believe apart from the spine cars, all of the other stock is available in other DLC. But some contained errors that perhaps might have been corrected in this new release.

Which leads me to think the full price of Euro 29.99 is mostly rolling stock I might already have. The actual route of 46 miles and its new assets surely could be sold for less without trains included.

Trev and I are working on a signage fix. I'll keep you all that are interested advised.

[imnew]

I should have what it takes to provide proper signage to the world soon as soon as I get the file structure figured out. It will of course be free and only for one's personal use.

Thank you for helping us foreigners out Buzz

Though I have not gone end to end, from what I've seen, it was a good purchase. I have started to replace the DTG track with 3D Trains AT&SF track with wooden ties and I have to say the 3D Trains track looks much better. I have also replaced some of the crossing signals with ones from SMM Digital. I was thrown for a bit of a loop with a bridge just outside of Raton headed towards Trinidad. A double track bridge with a single track, but in Google Earth it's there. so it's not a mistake. Looks like at one time the double track going out of Raton towards Trinidad went further up. I looked at imagery all the back to late Sept 1997 and that spot was still single track.

Here are some more screenshots... This is a very nice and detailed route. I've noticed that the B40 has some light weathering, which fits in well with the time period this route is set to.

Haha, looks like that “B40-8W” is just a reskinned B32. Count the hood doors, among other things of course.

Do not you think it's in very bad taste, sell a product that for some users, does not come complete, or comes with flaws?
