A little test run of the new motive power on a manifest out of Adams Bay...

In the process of testing a scenario. I have had to lengthen some markers and add a couple (maybe 3) more, but here we start the run at Adams Bay.

Nice screenshots! Don't forget you can add your own markers inside the scenario editor. Those short markers I provided on the route are meant just to label the track, while leaving lots of room for the scenario writer to add their own custom markers.

I am not sure what location you were working at but scenario specific markers may be a workable alternative to lengthening the ones provided with the route.

And I am open to making changes to the route to make scenario writing easier. Once I get feedback, maybe there will be a version 2 that is more scenario writer friendly.

Take a look at the caboose just behind the engines.
I’ll keep you posted on the scenario.

I’ll post the repaint later this week, it’s the RWA caboose.

I got a chance to try out this phenomenal route today. Awesome work to all those who were involved! The detail is truly amazing... **!!bow!!**

Would we be allowed to use the assets provided in the route for our own routes?

Yes, no problem. I prefer if you don’t distribute my assets with your route but instead just list my route as a dependency and maybe provide a link.

I strongly prefer being able to place my own scenario markers for destinations, sidings, and triggers. They way you have laid our the route markers is quite conducive to this.

A few of you may have noticed the cab view controls on the RS-1 were not positioned and animated properly. I have just released Patch B to correct this. Get the patch here:

Ryan Creek Logging Co bought several Bessemer and Lake Erie 0-6-0s. This is the first to be lettered for Ryan Creek.

Just in case anyone has been wondering if I forgot about doing a hood unit, I took advice and decided to do a F3 with the 'chicken wire' mesh. It's turned into more of a project than I thought but I think I finally (seven tries) have something that looks OK. Still have some of the background textures to do and then I can finally get around to the paint job.

Thanks everyone for bringing your talents to the route. I can't wait to test out some of the new locomotives.

Great idea. An old F3 is a welcome addition.
