Red River 1900

[jpetersjr]

Here's something I started almost a year ago and have finally decided to finish and start to build some of the custom buildings I originally wanted to build for the route. Hope to get the first version out in about a month or two hopefully.

The route is set in the year 1900 in a desert mountain terrain.


First we'll start off with the lumber mill area. what I just completed today, will later add some cactuses and shrubs and paint some solid dirt.

The water tower, which I hope to at some point be able to make into a fuctioning water tower, I'll also be doing a new coal tipple.

The engine pulling into the water tower, did resize the tower. Definitely need a better engine, a particular 1800's steamer, preferably 4,4,0 American, and possibly later a 4,6,0 Ten Wheeler if I can figure out how to build the thing without this computer killing itself.

Have also been working on below the tracks as well, but still have a long ways to go.

Yep, tired of Cecil's engine jumping around like a kangaroo, so had to switch to Dick Cowen's highly dark engine, can't see nothing in that cab, anything else won't fit around the curves.
