Heyho and welcome to the fourtyfith update of my CJ Dragon Islands.

Today another interrouption on my round around DI because I wanted to make something "new".

Today I will show you a couple of pics of a small rail line located on an island to the northeast of Shì Luna. Dàzhú rail Cooperation has had big financial troubles in it's past but for already two years the line does not even need support by the state anymore.

 

Two of the three refurbished Kiha31 (New modern looking front, new doors etc.) that represent the whole rolling stock in frequent use of the rail cooperation. This pair makes it's way to the main station of Dàzhú, they transfer some workers to their ferry, also some rail fans today.

Fans and fanatics of steam locomotives solved the financial troubles, more and more steam locomotives are carried to the island for some fan rides.

And we will follow one of theese trains buildt in a age where the term particulate filter did not exist :D

The old engine is carried out of the depot long before the first passengers arrive...

The plattform of the steam train gets filled after the arrival of the ferry and the ordinary train.

But we won't take the track to this city, we will stay at the "main line" and turn right into the valley that devides the two main mountains of the island.

Wow, great update! I love the steam coming from the engine as it puffs through the well modelled landscape. And let's be honest: The STR looks amazing when combined with steam pulled trains.. It's "STeam Rail"..

This update comes in the perfect moment, as I'm playing again with Railroad Tycoon II and Railroad Tycoon 3. This update, mixing SC4 and RT makes me imagine a videogame I can only dream of...

As for the automata, the steam loco the texturing is really nice and the model is really detailed. Brilliant job!
