The Long Dark Great Bear Island Railway Canada V4

Description
Now updated to V4 as of 22/09/24.

NEW Additions:

I have created the New line extension from "The Long Dark" - The CONTAMINATION ZONE - a continuation of the "Far Range Branch Line" I am pretty pleased with how this came out, especially the main building complex and I hope you are too. It has literally taken on/off a year! All good fun :)
This region features the Langston Mining Company. A large open cast mine, processing plant & Deep mine winch building. Of course it also has a railway depot at the mine and small workers camp and station just up the line towards the Vale station.

I have also made additions to the Logging camp at the other end of the line to make it a more interesting, now re named "High Falls" as my previous area.
I have added wires to all telephone & power poles/pylons.
I have also made various other tweeks and additions and corrected a few issues.

*Note: The passing places are not present in TLD, but I have made them blend as well as I can into the overall design to make the model railway more functional, call it artistic licence :)

Background:
I have created this model railway inspired by Hinterlands "The Long Dark" survival game. You can now ride the Great Bear Trans Island Railway before the quite Apocalypse.
See a more active time of industry, logging and mining on Great Bear Island off the Coast of Northern Canada before the decline and eventual abandonment that came from increased seismic activity and economic decline.
Battle harsh weather to deliver the passengers and goods needed to keep this remote Island community going!
Enjoy.

It's rolling stock. I'm guessing they are pass cars due to where they are, (On a train and at a station)

Thanks for the feedback and a good point on the Ore dock, didn't occur to me, I'll look into making some changes.

Speaking of, in the next update, i would personally like to see a major redo to the port area mainly consisting of an ore dock for the langston mine, aswell as a spot for log barges. It'll just make the layout feel more complete. Currently the port, realistically, is not suited for the industry on the island.

Not sure about quickmods halzfamily. I have used quite a few user created prop mods on this layout.

If I may ask, there are several missing quickmods. What are they supposed to be?

Thanks for the positive feedback, I just love modelling in RL, it's so satisfying to get things looking a feeling right.
@Canadian_67 (And anyone else) if you get a chance to play the Long Dark, I do recommend it. I didn't think it was my sort of game, a bit like RL, but I've put a lot of hours into both, and enjoyed every minute.
After running trains on my map I think you'd recognised the locations I've tried to recreate. I recommend to play survival mode and start on pilgrim (easy) and see how many days you can last. It's more fun than it sounds and the games art style is very similar to RL, hence why I just HAD to build this layout. Enjoy :)

@HuskyDynamics ditto, dude. I have never played the long dark but this map is hella cool. I love that it has an essentially finalized economy, only thing i had to do to make it truely good for me was to add an ore dock for the mine.

New update woooooooooo!

This is still my favorite layout in the game by far, and I love that you keep making it even better :D

the processing plant reminds me of the one at britannia beach. Nice!
