Railtracking

Every day when I go to work I pass a abandoned railroad. Years ago I became fascinated by this phenomenon. In my route you can find a lot of scene's with this theme.
Of course it, you can't run a train on it..but is railworks only for trainlovers? Every (boy)fantasy can find a way in this virtual world.
many german abandoned railways etc...you can see here:

Statistics

This week my computer broke down.. fortunately without data loss.

The power-supply is replaced temporarily until my new PC is ready.

After making a back up I can give some specifications of my route(today).

- main line: 30/35 km long with overhead wires, 10 stations, small industrial brach lines.

- 507 custom GeoPcDx files. (3d models)

- 97 Lofts (roads, tracks, treelines etc..)

- totaly 643 assets(bin-files)

- 423 MB of data.

- The route runs smoothly on a Pentium 4 3.0 GHz, Geforce 7300GT 512MB, 2GB DDR3.

Still to do:

-signals(german HP) -100%

-scenario's -100%

-some scenery - 5%

-filling the landscape with it! - 30%

-trackwork - 10%

-cleaning/updating folder structure.

So, still a lot to do.

Although my route is based on local passenger service, there are some freight locations.

Here's a 294 on it's way on a small branch line to St.Rudolf.

Have a nice (work)week!
