Blackwood Creek 1990 Revisited/Revised - Route ReadMe

The original “Blackwood Creek” route is the creation of Lt. Bligh (a Steam Workshop route) and this version is very heavily based on the original.
I am grateful to Lt. Bligh for the original and for permission to post this version. In 2021 I published via the RWA library a "back dated"version (with permission) and this version is an extension of it plus some inspiration from Ironcat60. Due to changes in track markers and indeed track positions in some cases the scenarios written for the original and the 2021 version no longer work however where I could I have amended the scenarios used to suit and these are included in the package. The scenarios amended by me carry my numbering before the name of the scenario and where applicable the original author's initials, name or? after the name. It is more complicated to explain than to see.

The scenarios have been tested.
In addition I have added to the package some custom assets - repainted engines, repainted freight cars and some billboards for specific customers.

Changes made to the 2021 version are:
Switching yard at Whitestake with engine facility
ACME Manufacturing site just N of Whitestake on the branch (inspired by Ironcat60)
Extension to the Intermodal Yard at Baumann North (in effect a rebuild to allow 20 wellcars per road).
Complete re-laying of track from Baumann 3 to the Intermodal yard.
A Team Track in the Baumann triangle
Fertilizer and Feeds depot at Baumann (inspired by Ironcat60).
Chemicals Plant East of Baumann (inspired by Ironcat60).
Partial rebuild of Blackwood Historical Railway site with additional tracks on turntable.
Rebuild of Cement works East of Cranston with company switcher facility , company switcher repaint and company repainted covered hoppers.
Extension of track beyond the cement works, scenicked inc. a tunnel and signals. This allows trains to start beyond the tunnel Whitestake bound) and gives AI EB trains somewhere to go passing potential switching operations being conducted in the cement works.
