Will the route be payware, or will it just not be released at all? If the former, it would be an excellent SLI release.

If you read the postings in this thread you would get your answer.

Read. Bottom line. But, Sean...I don't think I can publicly post what I say out loud looking at these photos! Makes we want to jump in joy, why? Because, it's MRL! Who doesn't love MRL?!

EDIT: Not liking MRL makes you a communist in my book! :-P

Since it has became an item of such controversy, yes, it is my intent that this route will eventually be able to be sold through SLI. But for now, I am focusing on building the route, and I would appreciate if I can bring you all in to focus on that too, rather than speculating about what-ifs and such.

Yes! I actually thought this route would never be released! Better payware than dangling it in front of our faces.

Hey Luke, communists aren't bad. Let's not get on that topic, though.

When it's released by SLI, it will be on my "getme" list.

Be very careful with this comment. This community doesn't owe you anything. And, people should feel free to show what can be done with any facet of msts, with regards to creativity and growth ability, without obligations to share.
This shouldn't be an "I want what you have" environment, and aside from the very gracious freebies, it's also a "learning and passage of ideas and creativity" environment.

First off, I believe we all have every right to dangle our creations in front of others' faces. No one told you you had to look at it in the first place, so if for some reason it releases some emotional turmoil within you of "gimme gimme!!!!" that's just part of life. Seeing other people's things that you can't have. Fortunately, that doesn't always have to be the case, as in this situation.

Anyways, thank you one and all for continuing interest in Mullan!

As far as the black fog of Blossburg, it truly is unfortunate that I can find no reasonable way to model this in the simulator.

Progress as of recent has been beginning scenery in the area between Garrison and Avon. Here, an eastbound Boardman coal cruises upgrade along the Little Blackfoot River a few miles east of Garrison. I like the way this area is turning out.



I have also switched some of the bush clumps out for the older versions from the Scenic Sub 2.0, as the weeds blend with the ground much better.

No screenshots for now, but to show this is an ongoing project, yesterday trackage was completed from ES Garrison to WS Phosphate, including the entirety of the Garrison yard. I think you guys will be quite satisfied to see the level of accuracy in not only the mainline trackage but the yard layouts as well.

I am also testing out some new personal tree textures. Still unsure whether I will include the Phosphate Spur, as of now it's a no simply because I have no reference materials of what the loadout looked like while it was operating...
