Wupper Express 11 plus Options

[conburt]

I would like to request a template for Wupper Express 11 as this is the final version, also I read that the subject of Passenger templates was to be considered back in last January any news on this development

Hi to all,

Here's a run-down of the template project so far.

The project is going slowly but surely. As of now, half of the 550+ sidings have been marked. It may not be as much in a week but the approach in making the template is quite different from all the previous templates because of so many interlocking paths and making sure the train won't be running on the wrong track.

To give you an idea of the type of approach I am using, consider the 14.7km Mount Macdonald tunnel in Rogers Pass built in the 80's. Two companies were hired and were assigned to tunnel from opposite ends and reach in the middle. Who would win the race? Company #1 used a "mole", a huge tunneling machine to carve a huge hole inside the tunnel. Company #2 used conventional tunneling methods. #1 reached the middle first, but the tunnel remained to be benched and lined to finish the job. #2 went "full-faced" but advanced with a finished product behind them. Actually both companies have reached the middle at about the same time.

So, in my case, the approach to the previous templates was like #1. But this time a #2 approach is done to work the template .

The markers are being put after selecting one of the already existing paths inside the route, renaming them WPE11WB Template, etc.. And the sidings get marked as I progress along the path and determining regions taking in consideration the interlocking paths. After, the TDB file is configured. Once finished, I go with path #2, 3, etc. I try to use preset paths that covers new areas as possible to be able to add markers to new paths. Once finished, it is estimated that the template will have 35-40 different regions, some of them have actually only one siding.Such region marking will ensure the paths will have sidings that will all be serviceable.At half-point I have around 22 regions created. I am writing at the German forum for additional information when needed and it is appreciated (English forum section )

Hope I haven't confused with such explanation. Other news, I am getting close to changing my PC. Hope to have it changed in about 2 weeks (from 2Ghz to about 3Ghz) to settle some money matters.

Will update later
