Re: Civil Engineering for Outdoor Railroads V3 - help with cover photos

I did that but it turned out S*** with no springing on my cars.
Have a look here, shows most of the line from the top of the incline out to the West plantation and Mill branches. Makes for a lot of fun prep'ing for winter and hauling stuff around. Only peasants use 4wheelers on small holdings, those Brits had it figured with their Estate railways but as I'm a rough colonial boy and so is my Tram.

Think of it as a giant switching puzzle, especially when staging the loads in/loads out of the cutting/splitting deck and loading out the cuttings in the plantation. Just one tree puts out 3 or 4 carloads of branches for those 4-legged shredders, another carload of branches and 20 or more carloads of rings. The incline is rope hauled from my truck back along the driveway, the Fairlead off my Dragline allows the wirerope to lineup. The lefthand curve at the top of the Incline heads over a yet unfinished trestle.
