Oh, no, that doesn't look like rocks, it looks like a pile of dog poop. Guess we'll find out in August how bad the messed this one up. Darn it. I keep buying their stuff, to keep them in business, but they need to raise the bar a little higher.

Actually, I was thinking they looked more like coprolite's left over by some antidiluvian Giant.. Still, RW has its limits on what can be done model wise.. I guess we'll see ..

Hope they redo the ES44 for this route

Been up through there many many times, need a bigger shot, but looks like they may get this one correct, and im betting 3dtrains has something to do with this one

and remember it only snows once in wyoming, the rest of the time it just blows around *!greengrin!*

I wonder if they will add detailed crossings. But i hope 3Dtrains are helping these guys out !*roll-laugh*!

Hi (in reply to arizonachris)

If I may further your analogy, perhaps the polishing of the poop may already be in progress and by the time August(?) comes around it will be the shiniest poop your side of Manchester?

I'm also most interested to hear about which particular bar you think should be raised? Where's your base line?

Please could someone explain the Guinness clue for me?

Check me out! !!**sorry**!!

Cheers

Bob

Guinness is a Irish dry stout beer. Many Irish immigrants to the US found work with and helped to build Union Pacific's part of the Transcontinental Railroad. Sherman Hill was part of this route.

My Baseline for Routes: Horseshoe Curve. If any new route from RSC isn't up to what HSC looks and runs like, then they are just not trying. HSC was the last new route I bought (actually Portsmouth Direct was but that came out before HSC). The new London - Brighton route looks very promising. Can't tell by one screenshot if Sherman Hill will be also. !!*ok*!!

Is it me? Or is that ScailRail in that picture?

In several cases the answer is in the name, not the context and visa versa...and don't blame me for their obscurity - this is all RSC's doing! *!lol!*

#1: Vast grasslands/grassy hills - Wyoming is part of the Great Plains
#2: Pile of beans - "Hill" of beans
#3: Cowboy - Wyoming is known as "The Cowboy State"
#4: Thomas Campbell - wrote Gertrude of Wyoming
#5: James Mitchell Ashley - reintroduced anti-slavery bill which was pushed through the house by then President Lincoln (Lincoln Hwy parallels Sherman Hill route)
#6: Green dude - Irish rail workers were an important element in building the Transcontinental Railroad
#7: Dinosaur - Fosils/fosil fuels
#8: One Tree Hill - Tree Rock, Wyoming (US Historical Landmark near Sherman Summit)
#9: Doris Day - DD40X

If I were to choose between the two (you or SR), I would have to guess ScaleRail - unless you're the fella running the train... *!!wink!!*

I sense a disturbance in the force here. If Marc is in on this, it's gonna be really, really good. !!*ok*!!

Yes it will be. Hope they get it right the first time
