I just posted Zawal's Small Slope route in the file library.

I translated the instructions and tried to clarify how to get the needed free assets.
Rudi, I stole some of your screenshots. Thanks!

No problem; I'm honored that my meager contributions (the NP pics) are illustrating such a beautiful addition to the RWA library. !!*ok*!!

Since all the other Zawal routes are reviewed here, I’ll continue the trend....

This Small Slope Route has fantastic and broad scenery...enough to keep you visually occupied for quite some time. It’s short enough to be enjoyed if you don’t have a lot of time, and it’s long enough to not be overwhelming. There is ample line industry for switching opportunities.

That said, as I looked at this route I couldn’t help but be convinced that it was out of time...that is, most of the scenery reminded me of 1920-30’s upstate Washington...specifically, the GN Kettle Falls Branch! But the vehicles, roads and other more modern accessories were drowning out what there was of that incredibly good scenery.

So, my recommendations to Zawal, if allowed to do so, would be to reset the time frame of the route to the late 1920’s Steam Era; change the switches to manual; add water towers, sanding towers, coal facilities to the mainline; change the paved roads to gravel and dirt; then, add one or two narrow gauge lumber sidings at strategic points a lot the route that reach back into the surrounding mountains via switchbacks for lumber and ore operations that can interchange with the mainline.

In the meantime, I’m going to build me some scenarios using Great Northerner’s Steam Era Rolling Stock with Switcher and Mikado locomotives and have some fun with this great little Route.... Thanks Zawal.

hi


This is the Bessemer Lake Erie altered by my care.

I added "life" on the side of the tracks and in the cities.
I also picked up a few campaign "stopovers".

Available here for everyone now.

Thanks to G-Trax for this superb line.
Thanks to Pierre Gouriat for his US assets.

Some screens :

Those scenes look great. I had fun making those trucks. I always enjoy seeing what people do with our routes.

thank you very much, I love your lines, I only need the Cascadian and I will have all of your "active".

It is very rare that I retouch purchased lines, in principle I prefer to create them myself
It seems to me that I’ve only done it on two lines in 10 years!

Yours (Bessemer Lake Erie) and the Japanese Wakayama Sakurai line

This is to say if I like this line , I think it’s on this one that I played the most.

I hope that you have other beautiful projects to share with us for the future.

Sincerely Zawal

Well, it took me a while to answer you, but why not.

I have a little bit of spare time and I like steam locomotives.
G-trax has done a great job, and it would be a shame if I didn’t use his beautiful "toys" more often.

So to make you happy, I’ve got back to work and I have to say that your idea of using the Small Slope as a line for the 30’s is great.
