Even a ex fib can laugh at that.

Was it before or after they got their feet wet?

I've a good memory for whatever I can remember!
If you wait for perfection you will never do anything but it doesn’t stop you wanting it.
Age doesn’t stop you, it just slows you down.
If you only learn one thing in life - learn to think how your actions and words affect others BEFORE doing or saying.

NOVEMBER 6, 2022 UPDATE:
The SOO and CNW mainlines between Ripple Road and County Road Z are now complete south of Oshkosh.
Also, here is a shot of a southbound SOO train and a northbound CNW train crossing County Road Z.

Fox Valley Corridor - North Fond du Lac to Oshkosh
by Mikeov1985 » Wed Feb 08, 2023 11:27 pm
FEBRUARY 8, 2023 UPDATE:
I figured I would break today's silence on RWA with a route update. The route, which was previously called the Oshkosh WI route, is now called "Fox Valley Corridor - North Fond du Lac to Oshkosh". I figure the name needed to better describe what the route has become, since it is not only Oshkosh.
Anyway, I have made great progress on the route since my last update. Most of the scenery has been laid between Oshkosh and North Fond du Lac. Much of North Fond du Lac is complete, including the SOO/WC yard and the CNW/FRVR yard.
Next up is the north side of Oshkosh and the CNW/FRVR branch.

Most of this route is SOO/WC and CNW/FRVR trackage. However, there is a small part that belongs to the Milwaukee Road (and also the Wisconsin & Southern, although I am not sure if WSOR ever used the tracks this far into the city. WSOR severed the tracks at Hwy 41 in August 1992).
Here are some pictures of a Milwaukee RS1 moving freight around near Ohio St.

Fox Valley Corridor - North Fond du Lac to Oshkosh

JULY 3, 2023 UPDATE:
The first preview version of the route is available for public testing on the Steam Workshop. If you test, please let me know what you like or dislike about the route. The biggest known issue is lack of distant scenery in many locations. Please let me know if you feel any particular areas need further attention before the route can be made 'final'.
I will mark the route as final when it gets 30 likes. Then we can have fun creating some SOO, CNW, WC, FRVR, and MILW scenarios.
FYI - this is my first real route so there are bound to be rookie mistakes. Any improvement suggestions are most welcome.
