    I cannot speak for Diesels West owner, however, I don't think new members are being accepted, especially since the new member registration page was never finished.

    ...and afaik the sales pages are only for archive purposes, while some pages have PayPal, etc. links, that appear to work, I don't know if orders would be fulfilled.

    Regarding the Sherman Hill, a route left in an unfinished state, I doubt it will be offered.

    All the above just my opinion.

        .
        That's kind of sad, because there was such a great material there, high quality. In the past I couldn't afford too much rolling stocks like nowadays

        About the Sherman, how much % of the route was left to be done? if let's say 90 to 95% was ready, I wouldn't mind to buy like that.

            From what I remember a couple of years back, before I extracted some files and then chucked it, track was complete. (?)
            Scenery was nowhere near complete. And, a lot of the building objects had shapes but no textures. The "new" building structures that were completed were pretty nice.

              ^Neil is correct. Sherman Hill lacks a lot of shapes and quite a few scenery objects, along with many existing objects that are there are missing textures. It begs for permission to be given for some enterprising person(s) to complete the route. I used to live in SE Wyoming and many of the buildings that were completed are pretty accurate for about the 2005-2008 time period. The trackwork is very good, and the parts of the route where the scenery and objects are relatively complete give a pretty prototypical "feel" of what Sherman Hill is really like.

                OH Please, let happen. The route has the potential to be one the best for the geographic region...fine set of activities from Diesels West ....that I wish were more widely available.

                  Polina your post was removed as it referred to a piracy site.

                    Maybe have TS take over Sherman Hill and finish that route after they finish their routes currently in development! I’m sure they could fix all it up and make it even better! They (SLI Era) were originally supposed to provide the diesels until DieselsWest stepped in
