I said I wouldn't do it, but there ya go - wrong again! Work commenced on Clovis 3 in late September 2009. C3 will extend the route eastwards to somewhere east of the Fort Sumner Bridge. Look for it in about a year. Maybe....
Surveyor shots are taken from TRS04, Driver shots are TRS06 or from my recently acquired copy of TRS09. The 09 giveaway is the rolling stock shadows, I have them turned off in 06. Mostly the screenshots are honest shots of the route as it will be released with the exception that any foreground grass splines and some foreground grass objects are eye candy temporarily placed to enhance posed screenshots.
Much as I would like to finish the route in 09 - it runs like a dream and some of the content is superb - I shall continue to build in TRS04 until the problems that plague 09 are fixed...
The result of the C2 - C3 merge - a vertical misalignment of about 5 meters and
a horizontal mis-match of only 80 meters. Using HOG this is about as good
as it gets. Both the alignment and the 'chasm' are easily fixed.
Fortunately all the industries and road intersections stayed connected through
the merge. Could be worse :)
The same spot.
You gotta love that truck! Eastbound Union Pacific phosphate special near Duoro.

Almost the same picture, but not quite!

When TRS09 works the graphics are stunning - these
