Trainz is the standard for V-scale railroading...its on the 4th or 5th version. I did lay track on a decent chunk of the Silverton RR and then ran Baldwin 8-18Cs and a South Park mogul a fair bit. Frequently, a nice looking locomotive needs its engine configuration file fixed to be realistic.
There is a gentleman currently working on the Alpine Tunnel District in Trainz. I believe he has the track located and installed,and is working on the scenery/buildings.
That shouldn't be very hard. The number of structures at the Alpine pass is minimal. Telegraph office/depot - small shack. Stone engine house. Coal bunker. Covered turntable, also stone building.
In fact, since the pass itself is above tree line, there isn't any scenery at all except the bulk of the mountains.
