Marias Pass Two

[inc3pt]

I don't know much about Marias Pass but is most of the line single or double track?

Is that an SD70MAC I see in the distance? Notice the door is on the right side of the cab and the headlights are on the top of the cab, not on the nose.

Certainly more than Bob and I working on it! read the manual, most the folks are named, but then there are a host of others that support us that are not named too, many unsung heroes per project.

It was a fun route to produce, though I have to say that after Woodhead,Settle/Carlisle,Sherman, Donner and now Marias it would be nice to model a few bigger cities and built up routes!
Trees, rocks, bushes and grass is all i see when I close my eyes!

Hope you all enjoy.

best regards

I wonder what was used in place of the GN F45 at the Isaak Walton in at Essex along with the cabooses, and the GN Switcher at Whitefish. That's if they were included at all.

Steady on, old bean. No need to get carried away!

A GN F45 and a GN switcher are used, naturally.

Well if a A GN F45 and a GN switcher are used, why not just go the extra mile and let us see some new GN add-ons on steam in the future?

You'll have to see what's planned. Those who beg are then shot promptly.

In some of the video's I've seen there have been usage of helpers and DPU's while on some trains and others there weren't. I've read that because Marias Pass is one of the lowest crossings of the Rockies that train's only need 2-3 locomotives opposed to 4-5 on routes like Cajon Pass. I'm just wondering if they've included rear DPU's in the default scenarios. Not a complaint, but just wondering b/c I like having my power a bit more distributed. What's the requirement or what areas are DPU's or helpers used on the route? I think there is a helper crew based in Essex, but not sure.
