Oops I did it again.

[BrandonS261]

Hey guys!

Yes I did it again and started ANOTHER Project. Not that I don't already have enough projects on my plate that I am already buried in but any ways we are heading North this time to Canada! Being that This locomotive is doing a journey for the record books I figured it was only fitting that I build it for Open Rails. I will be chasing the real one on Thursday and going down to see it in St Paul on Friday.

Am I ever going to learn not to start new projects before I finish my current ones? Probably not but I should! I am also hoping to start using blender more and getting used to using that instead of the old TSM that I have been using for years! My moto is if it ant broke don't fix it but there is also another side of me that says I have to get with the times and start using what everyone else is also using.

Hope you all enjoy the progress that I have done this weekend.

I'd love to see this get a public release, if possible. That Rocky Mountain Express IMAX film has forever changed my brain, and I'm always going to be a 2816 enjoyer.

Looks like you've got some nice talent there.

Saaaaaame. We desperately need more steam in ORTS!

A little more progress made tonight!

Now the challenge.. will you finish it before the tour starts?

[BrandonS261]

Nope because the tour already started. MAYBE by the time the tour is over though. Looking forward to chasing it on Thursday with some friends.

I have around 20 routes in various stages and will probably start one more. This will be what was called the Sciota Division of N&W back in the day and if Kenny Eaton can find his improved version of Williamson, I'll use it, otherwise I'll use Austin Yoder's version. Only when we are paid should we be concerned about finishing something. I have a list of my projects and have shown my son-in-law how to upload any unfinished routes to the incomplete area should I get my last Form A & 31 orders but until then I'll just piddle along. Be out in darkest SD, MT, WY, and UT from May 14-May 23 and depending on what route the tour bus driver takes, I may get to see a little of the north end of the Powder River Basin (lunch on 5/17 will be in Gillette, WY) and later a little of what was the Montana Rail Link. Overnight that night in Billings, MT.
