I should have included this in the post for the stage 3 release, so here it is again as a reminder to all.

Dependencies are;

Payware:

Tehachapi Pass (Majority of the route is from this dependency)
Soldier Summit
Sherman Hill
Steven's Pass



Freeware:

RCAP from Railworks America. http://railworksamerica.com/index.php/d ... =22:models

Pipeline lofts and Coal Mine Conveyor from Golden Age of Railroading. http://golden-age-rails.com/rwscenry.html

Eléments de raffinerie from *REMOVED* Under the Objets tab you'll find refinery assets under 'Eléments de raffinerie' for download. It's a 3.3 MB file - easy install.


And as always many thanks to the freeware creators;

EMDSD90MAC
SMMDigital
John Lippai
Great Northener

and the payware providers;

3DTrains (Marc Nelson)

Found a small glitch on the Black Hills subdivision. At the crossovers at 567.0 the crossover speed has bleed onto the main (between the two turn outs).

Thank you for the heads up.

Fixed - install the rwp below if you want to rectify it before the next stage release, or those who are familiar with changing track speed limits in the editor can make the change easily enough - it's the space between the turnouts on main 1 at crossover 567.0 - under linear object tool click on select then drag along main 1 covering the gap between the switches - in the dialog box that opens once you have a section of track selected input 50 in both fields for track speed.

How did I miss this thread, completely went under my radar, well done young Tim, doing another wonderful creation for the communty. I'm just downloading your 1.8GB route package at the moment, so, I thought I'd drop a well done post on your thread in the meantime, can't wait to take some screenshots with Alpenfreight's shader mod. I like your use of the vegetation, I've never seen so many flowers on an American route, very authentic, it's these small details done lavishly that brings routes alive as many others have said, great work, Sir. !*salute*!

New scenario uploaded.... It’s called “LGIL158 - Gillette Local - Part 1”. Available here in RWA library. PM me with comments.....

EDIT: (9-13-2018) An updated version of this scenario has been uploaded to the RWA Library. This version contains a disclaimer that notifies the user about rolling stock repaints for the Kuju RailSimulatorUS and GreatNorthern file systems in the Assets Directory.

EDIT: (1-11-2021)Scenario Removed - Obsolete

Before I get any more emails and PMs....

I’ve been around this RW game for quite a while, and, I’ve collected a lot of rolling stock over the years. This route is (1) BNSF, and (2) Powder River Basin - (1) that means Oil, Grain, and Containers, and (2) that means Coal. So, I would expect everyone to at least have ALL the coal hopper repaints and ALL the hopper repaints offered here on (1) RWA (minimum) and (2) Digi-Rails - at the very least. These repaints have been available for years and years. If you don’t have these, then you need to go get them because there is a good chance you’re going to need them for my scenarios and those of other authors as well.

Just sayin’......

Why can't you get the list of the rolling stock for your scenario? It's simple for everyone to look for and save time too. I know with other forums to have a readme.txt for the rolling stock list and that will help other simmers save time to look for the files.

I only stumbled over this thread (and this route) today, seeing a scenario created for it on the RWA pages, not knowing the route existed, since it is not in the 'official' route download section.

Having read all entries and seeing how beautiful and well developed this route looks like, I read with much regret, that the route requires the 3DTrains Tehachapi Pass route, which I do not own.

Sad, for only one reason: I would rather have paid 20+ bucks for THIS route than having to spend it on Tehachapi. (Money is tight, so it cannot go both ways)

Where can I download the route? I'm seeing activities for it but can't find the route. Thanks in advance and have a happy Thanksgiving. Stay safe out there as well.

About 2 pages back.....

If you have downloaded Stage 2 then you only need the following file:

Update file (37MB) http://www.mediafire.com/file/5usqxz6ft ... e.rwp/file

If you are new to the route then you need the above file and the following two;

Route file (2GB) http://www.mediafire.com/file/rv2swkbs7 ... e.rwp/file

Assets file (228MB) http://www.mediafire.com/file/fqxd5ck98 ... s.rwp/file




This stage is 99% scenery additions and 1% buried signals/signage/track markers. No new track has been added. Fixed bad paths issue for some assets.

There are 3 free roam scenarios included and 1 Standard scenario. There is also an awesome scenario by BoostedFridge in the file library.

My thanks go out to BoostedFrige and gtrtroger for providing sage advice during testing. Any problems or peculiarities that sneak through are due solely to me.



The next stage will be the extension of the Orin Subdivision to Bill, Wyoming and maybe adding another mine or two to the Campbell sub.
