New route in November - Donner Pass!

pics with " snow "

LoL what happened ? .. some-one finally decided to add a little value to products and to actually start using some of the capablities of RW , guess I should Lol

(and not any sort of " new " effect either , this was possible in another train game in 2004 )

Is the snow on the walkways a part of the loco model, or is it dynamically building up as the scenario progresses?

Dynamic, and part of the model. Will only come on in winter. You can do this to any locomotive provided you hack the Geometry file and create a seperate set of winter textures. RSC can just do the same from source without all the hacking geometry files. :)

Well, it looks really good. Its about time! So...maybe, just maybe those rotary snow plows will have something to do with this route!

Well, it looks really good. Its about time!

Yes it does and Yes it is ,, and it could have been done quite some time ago ... nothing as good as showing what your product can do , if they keep this up I might see about hitting the [ like ] button .

A few pictures of Donner Pass from RailPictures.net

I just cant believe the struggle that must be to keep the route open in winter.

I see today the release date is listed as Nov 25th - just in time for the Thanksgiving frenzy next week

Now, if they can just release an update to get it to actually run, all will be good...

If this is mid 90's shouldn't there be ditch lights on the tunnel moter?

Nope, they weren't mandatory until 1997 if I remember correct. The Dash 9's had them since they were made in the 90s. The 60s-70s SD40-T2's didn't get them until they were required.

Ditchlights became mandatory after December 31, 1997, when the 40T-2's, 45T-2's, 45's, etc went through the SP GRIP (General Rehabilitation and Improvement Program) (Between 1970 and 1989) program some got ditchlights.
