    Thanks Charlie. I don't think I ever posted a link I made to some videos over a year ago. This one is Train #21 traveling south through Flemington. Since then I've made some improvements to this area. Lowering the track to give it a more prototypical feel to what the roadbed was like on the Highline.

    All very nice but for some reason my favorite is the last one. You can just see the silo off in the distance through the trees. Very cool stuff.

    Thanks to everyone with advice on the Amtrak Cascades vs Coast Starlight. My first time on a Superliner. It was an incredible experience! Sorry for all the personal pics and vids for now. I think my cousin, his wife, and daughter were upset with me because I was more interested in the train... if you click on photo details it will show the geo tag info.

    I wanted to post a link to my pics and videos in my gallery but I'm not sure that is possible. So here for now.

    Thanks everyone! Here's some more. It's not the Frisco but it's still Clinton, Mo and part of my Frisco Highline route.


    I've been working on the MKT depot in Clinton adding some more details. How about this GP7 by JointedRail.com. Pretty snazzy.

    I've been working on some concrete roadways. This is Highway 13 just south of Deepwater.

    It is awesome. It drives me nuts that I don't have time to learn how to use Trainz. Plus, my computer gets too hot. :( I have the app on my phone but it's not the same as you add can't stuff.

    A GP7 on it's way to spot a tank car at Standard Oil in Clinton.

    It's not a perfect Frisco 4-6-0 but it's pretty close. This is around mile marker 103 traveling south along the Missouri Hwy 13.

    The trestle scene is my favorite but all the images are cool. I like the flag up on the mailbox. Good work.

    Here's a KCCS boxcar as it might have appeared post 1910, after knuckle couplers and other safety appliances were installed.

    Well done on the re-skin. I knew you would, but did not expect it this promptly!
