Majestic Falls in the 40's.

[CArailroader]

I'm not at home so I can't post pictures yet, but I wanted to announce that as I'm putting the finishing touches on my RWA extension, I've started another project: Majestic Falls in the 40's.

So far I've worked from Morgan Yard to Augustine: putting in new switch stands and semaphores and placed several working stations, water towers, and coaling facilities. I've reworked the roads, crossings, cars, and other scenery. Most importantly, I'm going along and smoothing out the harsh rails that can be found on the mainline. I also replaced that section of concrete track mainline to the HSC main track like the rest of it.

The only two routes used, on top of the three original
routes, are Sacramento Northern and Bessemer and Lake Erie.

I'll post pictures tonight.

Town of Boleyn updated to have working roads/crossings (no more cars driving right through your train.)

I have now smoothed all mainline rails from Morgan to Boleyn and all switches and semaphores in place from Morgan to Lockwood. Next I will finish up Lockwood mine and double check any missed scenery along the main before I begin the River Branch.

I would eventually like to release this to the Workshop, does anyone know if the creator of the original Majestic Fall's is around? I'd like to seek permission before releasing an updated version of his/her route.

Amazing work! Love the steam era detail.

As for the route developer, his forum handle is "Handbrake."

Mark, aka Handbrake, has graciously given permission to release this. Work continues, but nothing picture worthy: all of the logging branch has been smoothed out, switches replaced, and the wye redone at the top. Scenery is all that remains.

Now on the Steam Workshop! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/ ... 1406678325

UPDATE 8/20/18

Thanks to RWA user Kris120 the following has occurred:

Some signals moved (most only some meters):
- south of Morgan Platform
- Entry signals to Gilbert Power Station and 2-3 mor invisible dwarfts, new style speed signs changed to old ones
- Exit signal left of "AP HS Sth #114" (Gilbert)
- Exit signals of southern end of Salvatore

New signals:
- some dwarfts around "Whitmore #33"
- Exit signal to the north at "Whitmore #33"
- Exit signal south of "Whitmore Main #45"
- Exit signal near "Gilbert Loco service EntryExit"
- Exit signal on Salvatore "SM #105"
- hidden dwarfts in Forbes
- At the entry to Lockwood changed the new speed sign to an old one.

By my doing: I have added another siding at Boleyn and changed the track numbers around. I also added a small turntable and a coaling refuel point.

55 Bel Air didn't exist in the 40's, and houses didn't have air conditioners yet.
