Connellsville to Baltimore

[Bontempo]

Hi all I am back

After uploading my P&LE route i got some ( I shall say hate) email that i did not like at all
and decided to leave for a while and cool down

Ref: Route Connellsville to Baltimore route

This is a total remake of the old route CSX Mainline route It will be extended in both directions.
Cumberland will be extended to Connellsville ( Sand Patch) working on that section now

Washington DC will extend to Baltimore

everything in between will be re vamped to reflect the year 2005

PS: this is a long distance route
The reason i say this is i know some people do not like long distance routes

I never heard of that route. Are there screenshots and route maps available somewhere ?

[Bontempo]

The CSX Mainline route is an old route of mine that used the B&O rail line

the route was modeled after a small section of the line that runs from Washington DC to Cumberland MD

That route i no longer have

I believe Otto has a copy of this route
http://www.otto-wipfel.co.uk/rw-downloads

The new route will use the same track but extended in both directions

PS: This route will not have any loops placed by me
If loops want to be put in the route that is up to the person who downloads it

[Bontempo]

Because of personal reasons the route can only be downloaded from Otto's site at this time

I will be looking for another host outside of Otto's to upload the route too

if none are available i will see about hosting it myself

Mr. Bontempo,
Welcome back. I am looking foward to creating scenarios for your route. One that I have done for my own consumption on the CSX Mainline was the Capitol Limited. It will be great if I can the Amtrak run from Pitsburgh to Baltimore.

I downloaded your route from Ottodad and it looks great. BTW, I work with the public and have received my share of "hate" mail. Let's be honest...you're investing a ton of your time in creating a route that you share FREELY with the community. Anyone who would send an anonymous critical letter is not worth my time. I have a "File 13" that I store those letters. Our janitor empties it every day! Keep up the good work.

Do we just need to DL the Connelsville to Baltimore version? Since I DL the P&LE route I HAVEN'T played any other route. I spend most of my time just free roaming around the different areas its a great route don't let the haters drag you down. Most don't realize the amount of work that goes into even the simplest repaint. My hats off to you route builders.

[Bontempo]

As far as i know (From Otto)

if you have the latest P&LE Asset file

then all you need is the route

I will be looking for another host outside of Otto's to upload the route too

Well, there is RWA as a place to host your files... and there are other good RW sites around to have your files hosted.

Welcome back, Thomas.
P&LE is great and I hope to see people make more scenarios for it.
Hosting your routes here at RWA would be a stress-free solution.
Chhers!

As stated earlier

For personal reasons
the route will not be hosted on this site

Hawk has kindly provide the reason and i have no problems with it

Once i release another beta and have a full count of what assets are needed

I will host the route myself

In the mean time a beta is available on Otto's site

Looking forward to it's final release. These are the kind of routes I like. I tried to write a scenario for the Capitol Limited for the CSX Main Line. Got it in place at Washington's Union Station, but can't get it to move.

I hope that the Connelsville-Baltimore is a success. I have been paying attention to the post over at T-S.

Just to let everyone know

I do indeed run trains on my routes while building them

If anyone had any doubts

Glad to have you onboard RWA Thomas ! The routes you create are really really good. Cant wait for Sandpatch to be released.
