Template progres/status Options

[sgdavis]

Ok, so you might ask, "Where are you with more templates?"

I know Denis and Norm are working on some and I have a new user whose template we may soon be posting as well.  But for me, here's where I am.

I have downloaded and installed Michael Stephan's GN Hi-Line route, plus updates through version 3.03.  Craig Kawahara is concurrently working on a map of the route.  So, I'm finally starting on a template!

Also Joe Bandit has an update for his great North Coast route.  I am getting ready to test my template to see if it works correctly with this update.  If not I will release an updated template, possibly before the North Coast Route template is completed (because it looks like it could take a while!)

Next on my list was the freeware Cajon Pass route.  Craig has finished a map for that route so I'll get started on that template once I've finished GN Hi-Line and NCR.

The others on the list will come in turn. 

Cheers!

For the Freeware Cajon Pass, I now have all the cars placed on most of the sidings.  I pretty much used the default cars and some of the cars from Norm's and Steve's templates.  I did that to minimize the downloads.  I am looking for some input on what everyone would like on some of the sidings designated as the coach yard.  Would some like to have coaches and what type?  I was thinking it might be interesting to have some activities making up some passenger trains.  What are your thoughts?

I think that there are some express reefers and boxcars out there, maybe at Elvas Tower and the t-s file library.  Also, some head end cars would make for good passenger train switching, if the route has house tracks at any of the stations.
