MSTS Route--Rocky Mountain Div. East Options

[dgionet]

Hello to all,

Lukas Lusser and his contributors have released today the above route, which is actually the RMD-1 and RMD-2 combined and updated, that is from Harlowton to Deer Lodge. He has also released railstock to go along with the route. I am downloading the route as I write to find out if it is suitable for a template. I believe it will be, since the latest route of the Milwaukee series, the RMD-1 had the sidings marked.

Work is also done on the rest of the route from Deer Lodge to Avery in the future.Not sure when but will be interesting to follow its progress which can be seen inthe TS forum.

Will update later for the results of the present download.

Testing the templates is continuing and am expecting to send the whole package to Steve in about one week at the latest. I have added an 8th template. Due to rolling stock issues, I have created the BAPYARDS Template to allow only the proper rolling stock inside its limits, including mostly BA&P hoppers and only 40ft rolling stock. Work includes the Anaconda and Butte Hill areas.

The BA&P YARDS Template for the Butte Hill path includes the Rocker Yard to allow setouts of full hoppers from the mines and to bring back empty hoppers to the mines uphill. Although there are two areas to serve, there are four distinct regions. They are Called Butte Hill-OUT and -IN as well for one of the two sidings in Rocker called Rocker-IN and the other siding called –OUT. This arrangement will allow to pickup full hoppers from the Butte Hill-OUT area to be carried to the Rocker-IN area. Once there, the player will be able to pickup the empties from the Rocker-OUT area and to bring them back to the final setout at Butte Hill-IN area. When entering or exiting the Rocker Yard area, make sure to get clearance from the dispatcher (Alt-TAB) to proceed ahead.

Here are some pictures from the BA&P Butte Hill area and including one extra picture of the MILW in Butte
