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

Hello to all,

I have received the go ahead from Ted (smokeytc) and Al (pensfan) to upload the template package. Myself have been busy also in testing and fine tuning the whole template package.It has been sent to Steve for uploading. Thanks to both of them for their contribution in helping me with the testing. It would have been a lot longer without them. To give you an idea of the extent of the work done, here's the final count about the whole package: 8 templates, 67 consists, 103 paths (58 player and 45 AI),69 service files ans 8 traffic files. There is lots of information inside the readme file. Please read it carefully.

I want to thank again Steve for allowing me to work on a update for his previous template done for AG3.It has been quite a job doing this one,have enjoyed it and am glad it's done. Hope you will enjoy it as well. There will be lots and lots of possibilities with the package.

Here are the last pictures taken from the latest AG-generated acts.

Be on the lookout for the package soon!
