G-Trax answers the prayers of steam fans!!!

The manuals (two of them) are now available for download on the B&LE page of the G-TraX web site. These documents are technically at the beta stage, but the release version shouldn't be that much different.

While I have your attention, I was browsing through some of the historical information we had collected early on and found some interesting old photos...

I’m looking. But I’m not seeing...... old I guess, but I checked every page I could think of.....

No Fat Man for me next week - I cant be trusted

I promised myself if we received an early present by way of manuals, I would save them to have a read over the break. Unfortunately, I am an impatient little bugger and I have read them through several times already. An entire RR eco-system.

to all involved...

Those manuals were a great read. Im excited for the passenger and MoW equipment as well as the electric polling tram and quillable whistles!!

[gtrtroger]

Got them.... Thanks!

[P.S. Not scrollable via IOS device but not a problem... completely A-OK via PC]

Is this the first fully self contained US route for TS?? Anybody know for sure?
With minor exception, the complete R.R. is there... loving that!

This will get my interest back!! It's right next door to where I live. I know the whole area.

Good to see you back Joe - you have been missed...

I think it's fair to say at this point, a good portion of the community is really looking forward to a traditional american steam power route like this.

I think it looks awesome, I hope to later be able to buy it at some point.

Read and read and redread the manuals - so intimidating, so much trackage. Be interesting to finally get the hands on it.

Anybody knowing the route, or with a bit more info, looking for details on running rights of the other roads over the B&LE - the points the other roads ran between, passenger access etc

It is going to be an entertaining new year...

It’s a constant battle throwing salt on the foam.........

BTW, does everyone know how to operate a transfer table?

Transfer tables operate the same way as turntables (and switches, for that matter): G moves the bridge in one direction, Shift+G in the other. In making scenarios, I've discovered that trains can successfully be instructed to cross a transfer table, although this is still not true of turntables.
