why thank you gentlemen, should have some shots with some new HLRR stock sometime soon. Gonna be gettin a better system soon :)
one with a working up arrow key, the non-working one on my current laptop makes route building a hassle

You can always plug in a cheap full size usb keyboard into that laptop to get a few more cycles out of it.

Some WIPS, more detail work in Waubeno and on rolling stock. This sequence shows the morning switch job going into town to drop off a boxcar, then pick up the two Waubee beer cars, then make up it's train and heading towards Townsend/

Looks great.... but why is your caboose red instead of green?

[shicoe30]

I have a green one sitting back further in the yard actually. the red one was easier to line up. And those aren't the finished cabooses, the finished ones will have a paint job like the two loco's on the right in my signature in both red and green. The HLRR has two schemes, freight green and passenger red (just haven't gotten to the passenger side of things yet). Gonne focus on route building for now though.

New on the HLRR; ex-SLSF SW1500 from Dogmouse Locomotive Works.

DMLW does a fine paint job!

[PapaXpress]

Those look great!

Indeed, DMLW does great work!

Routes looking good.

I love the buildings, very nice work!

DMLW should grab the NW2 from the RWA pack, paint it an "older" Horn Lake scheme and then apply a little of his "rust magic" to it.

[shicoe30]

I think DMLW has some other stuff left in the shed. This "goose" (as I like to call 'em) has a sister unit, HLRR 100. And then there's HLRR 155 (an older SW1500 ...or perhaps an NW2?) which is designated for logging assignments. And then from there there's more to be painted! But an NW2 might make it on the roster as the old logger...just depends on what's in the HLRR's buying range. Just finding time though is difficult over there I've heard. We do the simple paints here, like the boxcars and cabooses, but the big stuff goes off to DMLW.

Working scenery between Waubeno and "The Strip" (a stretch of land in between two lakes). Judging by the popularity of thecanadianrail's Valan Branch beta, I'm thinking of releasing a public beta within the week. Hopefully I'll make some strides on the scenery and get permission to use certain assets and would be ready to upload before I leave Thursday night for my friends place up north for a weekend of fishing, swimming, and a Cheap Trick concert (Woohoo! ) But would y'all be interested in a public beta?
