Many of you may have seen Cody Winkelman's new Midland Valley route at Mophouse. I have the route, and will begin work on the template soon. If someone else wants to do it, please speak up!

Hello Norm,
Have just downloaded the route and would be glad to assist with building the template. Looks very interestng with all the interchanges along. A quick question; what RR operated along the route? Thanks for the info Denis -------------------- Denis Gionet

This being a Mophouse route, my hope was to populate it with Mophouse downloads exclusively, if practical. But if you do the template, you are free to do as you please. I have many other projects going just now, so have at it if you want! -------------------- Norman

I have found also in the Mophouse site a couple of Midland Valley's Gp9's. I will also examine using some MoPac material and look into it. Have started earlier looking at its history and will find some appropriate material for the template. -------------------- Denis Gionet

Denis, Here is some research that might help. P. 42 of my 1985 MoPac Employees Timetable lists the Midland Valley Sub as part of MoPac's Kansas Division. This Sub, however, is located in Oklahoma, whereas Cody's route is in Kansas (near Wichita). The 1985 Midland Valley Sub runs SE to NW from Panama OK, through Muskogee and Tulsa, to a northernmost end at Barndall OK, and is "aimed" at Wichita. A check of the 1948 RR Atlas shows the route continuing from Barndall through Pawhuska OK (southernmost part of Cody's roue) to Wichita KS. So I believe that this route was a MoPac spinoff. My idea would be to operate using the MV locos as the player train, with MoPac traffic. Or the template could be set up in an earlier, all MoPac era. I hope this helps. -------------------- Norman
