BVE: Object search

[smace]

This is a piece of rail that is part of a route I am creating. If you remember the roundhouse screen shots earlier in this forum, this piece of mountain rail is about 3 miles south east of the round house. It is inspired by the Animas River section of the on the DRGS route in Colorado. The real image is on this link http://ghostdepot.com/rg/mainline/sa...0&%20Silverton as High line shelf. This is the first cut and needs more work.
What I am looking for is a some objects to use in this scene. A period Steam locomotive and clorestory roof cars are the specific objects. It would be nice if they were prototype, but "looks good" would be ok for this project.
Any Ideas?

Excellent shots.

As for objects - some from John Goncalves' Brazilian routes might fit the bill for coaches. Steamers would be a little more complex - are you looking for US outline ones?

RE: Object search

I can not take credit for the scenery objects. This is a Route Builder creation and the rocks and water are stock or semi stock RB library objects. The Valley is a modifyed RB river item with the sides mapped to the rock and the floor dropped to - 30 meters, but you are correct, it does look good. The track is P Barnett track.
I will check out the Brazil routes, thanks. Yes I am looking for American or Canada or Mexico period stock. (late 1800's early 1900's), but like any museum route, I will take what I can get and rework it if needed. I suppose I could build my own, but that is not my area.
This is a made up route and is pretty well done now. I have some issues I am addressing, but this may be ready in a month or so. It is ment as a place to run the new BVE $ steamera. I may make a narrow track version of it. I have the track, just need switches.

SANFORD:
Here's a shot of the scene your modeling, the Denver&RioGrande aka Durango&Silverton 'High Line' above the Animas River.
1st photo from the rear platform in 1979.
2nd photo at the Durango turntable that same day.
3rd photo a more recent shot with the D&S ensignia.
Attached are shots of DRG#268, on display in Gunnison; paint is referred as the 'Bumble Bee' scheme.
More a fan of the Denver&SouthPark; they did use simular equipment & occassionally each others.

RE: Object search

That is indeed the scene. I remember it from the trip I took and the poster I purchased ( but can not find). I have thge yellow engine as a G scale model. Maybe I will dig it out and photograph it and use that to make one. Somewhere around my hard disk I have the skeliton beginings of a 4-4-0. A screen shot is attached. Needs a lot of work. But maybe someday.
