Green Falls - A small switching route for TS 2013

[Andimax]

Hi everyone,

we are proud to present our first small route for TS 2013: Green Falls.

A small industrial shunting yard for switching fans, coming with 8 scenarios, custom built assets and a lot of railroad feeling. If you like to shunt cars all over the place, if you like to use your head while doing shunting puzzles, well, you´ve come to the right place!

Here are some impressions of the route: (Release date is: April 24th 2013)

The scenarios:

1. Alco RS11LV + LV Pack - Flour deliveries
The Flour Mill needs new supplies. It´s your job to swap teh empty and full cars in the yard and to deliver all cars to the correct sidings.

2. Alco RS11 LV + LV Pack: Early Morning Switching
It's Monday Morning and many industries in Green Falls have requested the railroad's services. This is a challenging freestyle switching scenario, in which you'll be given your work order at the beginning -- how and in what order you complete it is up to you!

3. Alco RS11 LV + PRR Pack - Boxcars Out!
In this easy scenario, you will collect several boxcars and assemble them at the Switching Yard.

4. GP9 + US Assets - Evening switcher / 4a. SW 1500 + US Assets - Evening switcher
New deliveries have arrived! Break down the consist on Interchange Yard 1 and deliver the cars to the correct sidings.

5. GP9 + US Assets: Sorting things out / 5a. SW 1500 + US Assets: Sorting things out
You will swap cars bewtween the Interchange and the Switching yard.

6. GP9 + US Assets - Easy job / 6a. SW 1500 + US Assets - Easy job
Some of the local industries have demanded transports for tomorrow. You will collect the cars from the industrial sidings before placing them all on Switching Yard 1.

+ extra scenarios for the GE 44 Tonner UP with US Assets.


The route will be available only at Trains and Drivers for the special price of 8,99 Euro incl VAT, thats less than 10USD.

I love switching so I had to buy. Can't wait to give it a try.

[harryadkins]

Anyone have it yet and can give us an evaluation?

[bpetit]

Those tracks I must have them.

Let's do the math: $11.70 for the route + $16.87 for the Alco engine used in 3 of the 8 scenarios = $28.57. This might go on my wish list if I knew more about the route (perhaps by being able to preview the users' manual), but I'll not buy it now.

I just picked up the TandD Green Falls switching route. Now I have a place to run my TandD LV RS11 and the TandD LV Freight Cars pack.

Alrighty then, I ran the first Green Falls scenario and I immediately discovered no freight cars sounds to speak off. How to I get Krellnut's marvelous car sounds into the TandD Freight Cars?

Are you going to make me buy this so I can save you again??

[OlPaint]

Buzz

I can send you a "pirate" copy...Oops, we are not supposed to do that! The \assets\trainsanddrivers\GA_LV-Freight\audio\Freight\ folder has some goofy names for the sounds files that I cannot convert or alias.

I do have 'Wagon Sound BP.bin', 'Wagon Sound.proxybin', and 'Wagon Sound.proxyxml' files in the folder.

Maybe that is all I need to copy these over from Krellnut's set?

I would just stick them in there and see what happens after renaming the existing files to something so they are backed up.

I found it to be ok for the money. It's a very small, but well done route. I also owned the Lehigh Valley RS11 and LV pack. so I didn't need to buy anything beyond the route.

I think it would have been nice to perhaps have a couple other industries that were separated from the rest by a few miles and allowed for a short run on the main.

All in all - for $10 - I am happy with it.

Hi everyone,

we are currently working on an update for the route: We will add some extra scenarios for the "default" US community asset pack engines and cars, so that you definetely will be able to play around 8 scenarios without owning any of the additional rollingstock.

I think it would have been nice to perhaps have a couple other industries that were separated from the rest by a few miles and allowed for a short run on the main.

If you take a look behind the "Flour Mill Loading bay", you will see some rests of former tracks and bridges, so it might be just coincidence, but maybe the route will be extended .
