    Oh Mike, What are we to do with ya?.
    Your just now discovering, once a railfan, rivet counter, ex-railway employee. Really, harboring any sort of interest, anything related to RRs, &, in any capacity, you become a sucker for life. No ifs, &, or, buts. No getting around it. Welcome to the family.
    Now ya must enjoy hot cocoa, & kitties, to go alongside anything RR, that's a given.

    Now I cross the line, venture into ATS land for an hr, or so...lol.... 10-4 Good "Buddy".

      The graphics of the Californian route are similar in style to those of Run 8.
      The route is not as detailed but is enjoyable, none-the-less.

        I just completed a 55min run from Oro Grande sidings to Barstow.
        Passed several trains heading in the opposite direction and that was a "good thing" because I hadn't needed to generate or despatch them myself.

        Other than yard tracks and signals there is no other infrastructure at Barstow; it is barren and bears little resemblance to what we see in MSTS/OR or Run 8.

            Anyone got Screenshots? "A picture is worth a thousand words..."

            Particularly interested in night shots as it's THE weakest area in MSTS/OR bar none.

                Oh Mike!, Mike!, Mike!, have no fear, it'll get under the skin eventually. You can turn your nose up at this stage, but, rest assure, it'll happen. All things RR related be in your DNA. Welcome to the dark side. Now, come in out of the cold, sit a spell, sip that cocoa nice & slow, hold kitty while you ponder, should I or. Come on, just get it done already. It's going to happen... lol. Take comfort in knowing not alone in such turmoil.

                      My main railway interest is UK pre-privatisation farce, Can also be narrowed down even more, with only an in depth interest. In the GWR & BR-WR, with interest in North American railroads only coming about from MSTS. As the NA payware always seemed to be better quality and more interesting than the UK payware.

                        I would really have to see screenshots and a short video before I decide whether or not to make the investment.

                          I have taken some screenies of the introductory info screens and have also recorded two videos....one in daylight and the other late at night.
                          I'll process these today and upload to YT and provide links here once done.

                          The info screens are provided below...........note the last one, which popped up when I chose that scenario.
                          I tried again, as suggested, and the other train had left that location.

                            Here's the YT link to the daylight run.

                            NOTE!!
                            When I posted this (1:50PM DST Eastern Australia) the High Definition format (1440) of the vid was still being processed.
                            Make sure that you choose the HD version for full-quality.


                            I will do the night-time version later today.

                              Thanks for posting. As that region is pretty lacking in it's variety of scenery I'd like to see what they've done for the North East?

                                I'll see what I can do tonight (Monday 5th.) and will post in this thread.

                                The night version of Cajon has been uploaded and the HD format is processing right now, as I type.
                                I'll pop the link in this thread when it is completed.
