Have they mentioned anything about rolling stock for this route? I went back to check the articles but it seems like all of the photos that they had have disappeared when their new website was released. I didn't see any mention of rolling stock in the articles either.

Looks like they reused the penn. boxcar from the HSC.

Can any of you spell Work in Progress?

If that's directed towards me Buzz, I was only asking if anyone has heard anything about rolling stock. I didn't demand it be ready right this second or anything. We know its a work in progress..

No at Zek assuming something not in evidence other than one picture.

LOOKS like?

No, the PRR HSC boxcars are not being reused. I would politely suggest you become familiar with Engine Driver, as it will provide answers to many of the questions/assumptions you pose.

I should really use the zoom feature on the pictures more.....

Nothing pathetic about that, I was thinking the same thing.

Those trees appear to be photorealistic. And probably are of the kind that always rotates perpendicular to your view, so they'll always present their sunny side to the viewer and don't cast shadows.

Wonder how many MSTS shapes and textures are re-used and how these will hold up under closer scrutiny.

I recognize some some as being from the early days of RS, while others are much newer. Though generic, nearly all the trees in the bridge shot above are not species found along the real Feather River canyon, especially the firs and the oaks (pines should be mostly Ponderosa and others should be mostly scrub, alder and cottonwood). The other bridge shot a few posts before that is more correct, however.

Don't get me wrong though - I think the scenes look great! I'm just a stickler for what goes where.
