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,

A major snowstorm (more than a foot) on Sunday kept me inside the house. This allowed me extra time in working and finally finishing the WB template. Here are some numbers which comes with the template; 10 paths, 11 AI trains and 542 sidings to service, all sidings indicated with the orientation of the marker if they are customized for EB or WB pickups. It may not be as many paths as it seems. Remember that on the Burton Derby template, each of the 5 templates has about seven paths for each one. So I have worked a lot in looking at the 90 paths the act pack contains and choosing appropriate paths.

I have started to do some testing and will start working on the EB template. This second half should go easier because the markers have already been set. But still, I must take extra time in choosing the paths for the EB, mostly the ones already coming with the route and act pack. This applies to the player train and AI traffic too. You will probably have to use the manual siding feature of AG to do some switching ( BTW,In Germany, are they more familiar with the word switching or shunting?) Remember the Wupper track database is one of the biggest ever seen on any freeware route (15MB+) it will take close to a minute to make the conversion to manual. It may be the same for the signalling in permissive mode.

I would like to have some testers willing to test the WB template while at the same time I will be working on the EB. Those interested, please let me know. I'll send you the zip file with all the necessary files. I will try to make the same invitation on the German Forum to help with the testing

So it's coming closer to reality.
