Actually what I was doing was the speed limits, siding markers and making manual switches to automatic ones. Very tedious work. I have about 3/4s of the work done in the scenic areas. That's maybe half of the route.

making manual switches to automatic ones

I put manual switches everywhere on purpose, because simply pushing G won't switch automatic switches. That's why there all manual on the mainline. I really wish you would leave those alone.

Your about a year too late. I thought you gave us the route to finish it the way we wanted it? We made it the way it should be. I have several hundred hours in it. All main line switches are auto controlled so the AI can actually work.

Any new pics of the work yet? I've not seen anything for a while in the forums. Also How has the SD45-2 reskin been going?

I finally got this miserable thing done. Worst unpack I have ever tried to work with. Stuff all over the place with no coherent order I could ever discover.

SD45-2s on the siding waiting for the eastbound to clear and Reed Point then off we go.

I am new to the forum and a fan of the MRL. From the screenshots this looks a beautiful piece of work but living in the UK I cannot for love, money, selling my soul or other parts get Marias Pass (due to DTG and BNSF not having a license agreement! ) so cannot try it out.
Maybe one day....

We can't get Buzz's new MRL SD45 either because it's based on BNSF equipment but we won't ask him to scrap the whole deal though. LOL Keep up the great work Buzz and friends.
I'm in Canada by the way same restrictions.

Hi there, this route looks very promising. Is it still being worked on?

Yes Bob is working on speed limits grade crossings and the like. Signalling is all done for the 110 miles we have most of the scenery for. Still some scenery to do in Billings but as you can see from all the screen shots most of it is done. It's a lot of work for a route this length.
