Gumberoo Creek RR

Description
The Gumberoo Creek Rail Road is a medium size layout that is heavily inspired by the real life- "Hangman Creek RR". You can still find some of the key elements from that layout. This map idea spawned out of the need to compress another logging layout I had been working on prior which started as a rework to an older map. It's safe to say, I'm happy to finally say that I'm done working on this layout and I'm happy to share it.

The layout is based in a fictional alternative time-line Oregon/Northern Washington state. I'd like to say the layout takes place sometime between 1930 and 1950 (I'm very casual in regards to modelling things historically or technically accurate). The layout has two logging camps which feed a paper and printing industry along with a dying mine. There's even a few jokes and small details/stories dotted around.

I left some notes that were really more for myself as tips for loading/operations. Unfortunately, much of it has to be manual since the game doesn't currently as of publishing this have an ai-tagging system for loading and unloading.

Please let me know if there are any missing props/mods or broken parts of the map and I'll try to fix them!

This map is pretty intensive since it is based in a region that is a temperate rain forest.
Apologies for the number of required mods!

Thank you Nathan for your RL30 models!

Thank you Somerailfan for modelling my logging sled!

Thank you icebolt! I definitely have lol.

@Slipstream079 it depends on your system. For me it lags in certain areas looking in certain directions but average fps is around 40 to 50 for me. 60+ if im looking at a specific area.

I have a 2060 Super, Ryzen 7 5700g, and 16gb of memory.

Does it lag?

Dollin, you've come a crazy far way from Northwest Range and the Metra Lines. Phenomenal work!

Thank you Gauge!!

I'm glad you like it!

The Seirra map helped me figure out lots of small things that helped improve the vibe a lot. Honestly I thought that one would be really complicated and overwhelming but the biomes blend so well I really love that map!

I wanted to try the sled thing pretty early on. Thankfully SomeRailfan was able to make it animated/a mod. then the band saws were a necessity.

Ideally more things like the special log pond A-frame unloader I made would also be animated but ah well.

This is incredible!!
After doing so much research of logging railways for the Sierra map, its fun to see someone else's design for the logging industry, and you did an insanely good job!
All the loading/unloading mechanics on modded wagons is excellent too, especially the machine that moves logs into the sawblade one-by-one, that is so clever

Thank you! The time stamp of when you uploaded it really dates how long I was working on this.

Also I updated the layout to add some interactivity to an easter egg.
