New rack railway
This is what I've done for a whole day, after about 6000 lines of coding, and 10 teeth per metre, I have finally finished racks along straight sections of the railway, more to come, as I bend objects for curves......Here are two photos. The first one just shows the rails, while the second one shows the rack rail in a tunnel, along with a metre marker I made a couple of days ago.

Work on trying to replicate photos
There are two photos, and the degree of realism is shown, and yes, even though everything looks nice, it is still not finished. The bottom one is taken by Maikha Ly, I do not claim any form of ownership of the second photo, and I sincerely appreciate his effort and permission for me to use his photos.

Progress resumes
Some more line side markers, such as the first photo, showing the black and white marker, meaning a flat section of the track, and the distance from Bullocks Flat in metres, shown in the second photo. I know the train isn't the skitube, it is a cog wheel train from Hungary

Progress stalled
Sorry about this, but i have something really important to do for the next week or so, so no coding will happen for my train simulation. Sorry.

Second photo
Just a bit of minor details,such as gradient signs, with the one in the photo being one of many along the route. They indicate the percentage of incline, with the one in the photo showing 3% uphill. Others include 5% uphill and downhill, 3% downhill, 2% uphill and downhill, 12.5% uphill and downhill, and flat. Quite a rollercoaster ride!!! This is a photo texture, but a bit of work is needed.

Finally, the first photo is up
Finally, the first photo can be published. This is the entrance of the tunnel from the bottom to Perisher Blue. It is made by using a photo taken by Maikha Ly (who kindly granted permission to use his photos), the texture and the track are by the Network West Midlands Team (who has kindly allowed all route developers to use their objects), and the switch, which is created by the program Switch. There is certainly progress after the HSC. Sorry about the quality, I had to reduce the size for faster upload.

HSC is over
HSC is all over tomorrow, so I'll offically start my progress. It won't be long before I put up some nice screenshots. Anyway, here are some photos that my friend took, http://www.railpage.com.au/f-p1383481.htm. Before Christmas, there will be a lot of screenshots up to enjoy. At the moment, please be patient.
