April Progress

[cor726]

I couldn't see one when looking around. Is there a screenshot of the track layout for this in the forum somewhere?

This route looks great - looking forward to the release.

There has not been one released, however the map and documentation that will come with the route is a real work of art by Rick Foss.

Wow, that's some beautiful documentation on local industries for the route!

[Griphos]

That is impressive! This is going to be a very nice addition to the sim.

[Chacal]

Nice touch.

[ozinoz]

Nice touch.

Certainly is. That was one of the nice things about Rich Garber's early routes - the included track diagrams

My money is starting to get impatient



(as somebody posted in another thread; between, this, VNHRR part 2 and Mike's stunning 844, it looks like being a pricey couple of months )

Routes really looking good. I notice the old loader near Johnson Gravel looks to have seen better days also. Is there a back story as to when the new loader went into service and the old building put out of service?

Here are some more teasers.

I just noticed this:

The documentation to the best of my knowledge is by Rick Grout. The maps are mine.

I just took a look at the route maps: the old phrase "suitable for framing" popped into my head immediately.

Also having read the users' manual, I'm intrigued by what looks like a very clever deployment of Otto-esque route loops (yes, it rhymes with Fruit Loops, so what?). I'm more and more eager to work on and with this route!

Well Tom what you can't see yet is a double track line going around the entire perimeter of the route with several sidings/small yards. This is the "main line" and is not for the players, it is for the AI. The route has connecting junctions at each to a major railroad, so to speak. So the AI go off into the sunset, but actually can go round and round. The tracks are far enough away from the main route that you can not tell they are even out there. Lots of places to start and end ai.

All I can do looking at this latest page of screenshots is:
