ATSF sd40-2 #5040 strains into the curve at Needles Ca. with the sanders going full blast.

Nice work Chris. You always seem to get such good camera angles.

Thanks Chris & Mike

The Trains look like they're tilting

They are, the curve is banked (virtually).

Rod,

Just posted a new topic, never thought about it before but it's quite easy to tilt the train.':lol:'

Chris.

I really like this route - fantastic texturing on those locos. They look like they have true weight which is the art of weathering being applied successfully.

Sorry Rod. I'm so used to Chris popping up with excellent American screenshots and I didn't check who'd posted them.
Still very good though.

Best regards

Michael
