CSXT Kingsport Subdivision Options

[NW_611]

Is there any chance that someone might cobble together a template for the Kingsport sub? I'd love to be able to run around from Elkhorn City to Erwin with some of the stuff (i.e. the 3DT set and the various DW CSXT units) that've been there over the years.

Pushing my luck even farther, would it be asking too much to have duplicate templates that reflected a more historical focus (i.e. during the Clinchfield days) and the more modern CSX period?

Thanks in advance!

Unless there is a new version since last year, it is not possible to make a template for this route.  The route designer did not set up the tracks correctly in that each industry has a siding length of essentially 0 meters, which means that you cannot place rail cars for pick up nor set out.

When designing a route, a designer must not only mark an industry (and yard) track with a name, but must spread the markers over the practical length of the track in order to have room cars.  [Yes, the track has physical room, but the name and markers set the parameters for MSTS, not the physical track.]  Many route designers forget to do this.  If this is not done, then the track is unusable in switching activity and template design.
