Could use the asset names if you wouldn't mind getting a hold of them, please. I've been enjoying it otherwise. Total vlast running something I'm familiar with.

The bridge asset is called "MTR Greers BRG".

I could be wrong,.. but I want to say this was part of the assets from the Montour Route.

Also,.. FYI

Anyone who is interested in this route and would like to download updated route edits as I am progressing with the route,.. John (Rail Wanderer) has graciously allowed me to store route updates to his FTP.

Not sure when,.. but I believe he can set up a link on his website for you to get "Progress Updates" and you can see how the route is coming along.

As such,.. all I ask is that you guys go over the route. Explore everywhere you can. Report any glitches, mistakes, issues, assets problems, anything you feel is out of place or feel should be corrected. Or like BNSFDude took issue with me improperly displaying an industry. I welcome all of this,.. critique away.

Anyone who can assist in any small part,.. please join me in this monumental task.

Thanks,

Hurst

I did find I couldn't cross the Hannibal Bridge on the right hand main heading RR East. I can cross it, but am greeted by a end of track just past the turn as it merges with the KCT to SF Jct.

You'll have to forgive me. But I do not know which bridge the Hannibal Bridge is? Is that the one by the airport,.. 2 lines crossing the river?

Can you get me a screenshot of the problem?

Bare in mind that you also have the first alpha release. Much has been added, corrected or changed since the first release that is posted here on RWA.

This way I can go after the problem or ignore it if I have already fixed it.

Thanks,..

hurst.

I just looked up which one was Hannibal Bridge.

I did not find anything on the bridge itself,.. but I did find a switch that did not mate mate correctly over across the the airport,.. not far from there the yards start. Maybe a 1/4 - 1/2 mile north on the Missouri side of the bridge. Yeah,.. that would put the brakes on and derail the train. I just fixed it.

Anything you come across like that,.. let me know. I'm sure there are other places that I have missed.

Tried to run the freeroams yesterday, but no tracks showed up. Am I missing something?

I am only seeing floating bits of bridge track here and there.



Main track is GN tracks - http://railworksamerica.com/index.php/d ... =22:models

Using tram trax as well,. http://golden-age-rails.com/rwscenry.html#tracks

Bridge track is primarily - Scale Rail - (SR W1 - Open Deck) https://www.3dtrains.com/products/rw/scalerail.shtml

May end up needing a sticky for some of these questions.

I just looked up where the west bottoms is.

The northern and middle areas are pretty much done. The southern portion is not. I am waiting to see how John's modeling of the Union Station comes out before I continue beyond the west bottoms.

I'm currently working on the Armourdale and Turner areas. I will stop at Morris. Then go over and finish up the yard by the airport and that will end up by Riverside. From there I plan to go back to the Berkley River front and continue on until where the line coming from the southern end of West Bottoms meets up with where the blue river is and where 435 is.

Once all of that is done,.. it should be a smooth transition enroute to St Louis.

Also,.. I was researching passenger options for this route.

Amtrak has the Missouri River runner. It operates between Kansas city, Jefferson City and St Louis.

So passenger train fans will not be with out options for this route. I will make sure the stations and surrounding areas resemble as close what they are as possible.

I also looked up which rail roads operate in this region and you guys should be happy.
