Gn or Default.

For the forty eleventh time everything in the route will be freeware.

You can also tell it's the freeware one because the freeware version has a smaller plow.

Sorry Buzz. When you say "Im repainting the GN F7" and you provide a picture i noticed the numbers on the GN F7 are different on yours. I could never tell if you used the GN F7 or the Default one unless you say so.

Does that cause "plow envy" ?

The finishing up of the scenery has been on hiatus while Bob does all of the crossings, speed limits, and mile markers so I thought I would just give you all a little more flavor while you wait on us.

This is what I have been doing all weekend so far. Trying to get the Lafayette route out to you all. Here is the rolling stock coming with it. Harry Adkins, Buzz and me put these together.

Just to give you the overview of the scope of the route here is a picture with the three major towns. There are ten more towns on the route almost all have one or more sidings.

Great work guys!

A little fictional fun. Before the NS and CSX took over these storied Hoosier rails the Lafayette Railroad ran from Tipton to Lafayette and not known to many they owned a couple of iconic locomotives which included the famous Baldwin RF-16. Old pictures have been found of this A-B-A lashup with a train of grain cars on this route.

Wow, guys, excellent work! I'm eagerly awaiting it's release. :)

All fiction aside, this is a real route and the maps that Buzz shared show the trackwork to be reasonably accurate. The screenshots illustrate an excellent rendition of the Midwest.

Thanks for making a Midwestern route.
