Re: The Colusa & Lake (36ng) for Trainz

Here are some of the latest scenes from the C&L route. I am working on fences and other items along the route to give it more life.

Re: The Colusa & Lake (36ng) for Trainz

It's been a long while since I posted about the Colusa & Lake progress. First and most important: The project isn't dead (nor am I dead). As time has allowed I've continued working on cleaning up the route so I can get a beta version uploaded to the DLS. I want to get something uploaded by the e...

Re: SP #1 returns home

The DEM is not available at this time, but I will be working on the route more after I get the Colusa & Lake beta uploaded next week. So far there is the entire length of track along the route, but it doesn't represent a single point in time. In fact, it is wildly anachronistic in it's present s...

Re: North Tahoe Narrow Gauge

I am very pleased to see a nice YV locomotive. I downloaded the route a few weeks ago and have been impressed with it so far, but the lack of appropriate locos was a let down.

Re: 19th Century Passenger Car Paint

It turns out the Jackson and Sharp build register for the 1880s - 1890s is stored in the archives at the Smithsonian. A friend of mine was back that way a few months ago and returned with a digital copy of each page. After skimming through the records I can tell you this: Tuscan was a very popular c...

Re: SP #1 returns home

You are correct! I ran the locomotive light from Tonopah Jct, to Mina the other day. With the C&L nearing completion, I needed a new project to tinker with. Curtis was so kind as to create the terrain for it, all 300+ miles from Mound House to Keeler. He was able to use TransDEM to create a spli...

Re: 19th Century Passenger Car Paint

Here are some car color examples, they were compiled by Adrian Hundhausen and shared on an email group. ...Here is my complete list of COACH colors (no other cars unless noted) from entries in the National Car (and Locomotive after 1886) Builder. I read every page of the publication from Jan 1881 to...

Re: 19th Century Passenger Car Paint

I made a mistake with that drawing, it should match the Illwaco car, not the older ones. The design should be similar enough that you just need to shorten it for the earlier cars by removing a set of windows from the length.

Re: 19th Century Passenger Car Paint

Your car appears to be based on a Jackson and Sharp car, well after a few rebuildings by the D&RG(W). As it stands, it is suitable for the 1890s onward, though the D&RGW shopping for that car would date to 1910 or so. With a little digging, I found a J&S drawing of a similar car, as buil...

Re: 19th Century Passenger Car Paint

I saw your message right after you posted it, and every day I’ve come to the forum, read it again and put off responding. Not because I don’t want to answer it, but because it isn’t an easy answer. I’ve needed to collect my thoughts and refine as much of this information as I possibly can into a sin...
