Ohio Rail Build 10, Upgrading to AG4 Options

[dgionet]

Hello to all,

Following a request from one of our users and also with Steve's permission, since he worked the template package for AG3. I have started working on a AG4 template package for the Ohio Rail build 10 route. Thanks again Steve!

Markers have been put on all 333 sidings and there is still lots of work ahead. Eight templates are expected in the package: NB, SB, YARDS and the LOCALS Templates for each the OR&W and the WV&O railroads. A lot of work has been done on the first 2 templates, the YARDS for both railroads, mostly done. The user will be able to choose to do some yard work in 13 different areas with close to 20 starting points. Zanesville have three starting points which the user can choose to start. Some have two starting points like in McConnelsville, Mt.Ephraim, the Byesville-Cambridge, the Caldwell-Florence or the Unionville-Otten Lumber areas.

For both the YARDS templates alone, there are 21 AI trains, mostly eye candy traffic and is not expected to interfere with the area of your work chosen. I have successfully done my first SLG-Generated act in Swik. The required stock package is expected to be among those dedicated for the OH10 route. In addition, I am including a MP15DC package from TS and the MP15DC will be the player engines for the YARDS template in both OR&W and WV&O liveries, as you can see a screenshot of the OR&W version.

Here is a teaser shot, the only one taken so far (Otten Lumber area) as there is lots of work ahead and some head scratching as I am progressing in the package.

Will update later

Hi to all,

Some updates were done since my last post and the number of player and traffic paths have reached 103. That includes some traffic along the Ohio River with the barges.

With all that work to test, if some of you wish to test the templates, PM me with your E-mail. I will send you the package. I will need two testers only.

Other thing, I have purchased this week-end Richard's Ohio Upgrade and the updated scenery looks great. Also, as pointed out by Steve on the templates page about the upgrade , all signalling have been elimitated inside branch lines. This will avoid some inconveniences of toggling to permissive mode, etc when working inside branch lines, like for example in Swik.

Here are some additional images taken with the Ohio route upgrade and from AG acts..

Denis,

So, the template is being designed for the upgrade? Will it work for both? I personally would prefer a template with the upgrade, but I am sure that many users are still with the standard installation.

EXCELLENT work, as expected, Denis!
