Canton Template (complete route), Upgrading to AG4 Options

[dgionet]

Hi to all,

Steve has authorized me to work out a template upgrade to AG4 following purchase of the complete route network a few months ago. Thanks Steve for your permission to proceed ahead! So far I have put all the necessary markers on about 170 sidings and have done the WB, EB, and YARDS Templates. I have yet to work out a LOCALS Template. I have already started testing what has been done so far. The YARDS template will deal with switching and some work close to the city yards. For example, in Canton, you will be able to work between Canton and Graham, both areas close to the Canton Yards. The LOCALS Template will work between the city yards and some more remote areas like between Grove City and the Ft-Gridley area with return trips.

Hi to all,

Continuing working on the templates and have done also the LOCALS template with return trips. Already testing the template. I will give later details on the expected package and contents. The first picture is from the YARDS template and the remaining are from the LOCALS from Grove City to Jeremiah.

The order: Pickup at the GC Local yard, some work around two sidings at Ft.Gridley and some work at the scrap Yard at Jeremiah. It took almost two hours to reach the return stage after the work at the Bieszak scrap yard. Some complex moves at Jeremiah were done to make the turnaround for the return trip and putting the caboose at the end of the consist. Some final work is expected later at the GC Textile Mills before setting the final cut at the GC local yard.

Enjoy the shots





















Will update later
