Northwest Line route v6, Oncoming template Options

[dgionet]

Hello to all,

For those who were there in early 2007 was done my very first template, that was the Northwest Line version 2. Today, close to six years later is being worked version 6, the third template for this route ( v2 & 3 done). Rory Rice, its creator has done a very good job on this one as he took advantage in MSTS advancements of the last years. For example, for those who had run Ted Kocyla's Mactier route, some of the work done there can be found here as well, like the switches components, including small propane tanks for heating the switches, etc. The scenery has been enhanced throughout the entire route. Good job Rory!

Preparation of the template has started three months ago but has been halted when was released the Blue Comet (BC) route and have decided to create the BC template first. Now this being done, I have resumed its construction and have now finished the nine templates. Four (4) templates for the mainline templates (EB and WB) for each the CN and CP lines. Another four (4) has been done for the local templates (EB and WB). Fianlly the last one is a yards templates for the main cities, Delmenton and Korimer areas. The number of serviceable sidings has increased to more than 220 from the previous 130.

Benny has volunteered for testing and has started doing so. Thanks again Benny! Let me know if you wish to test the templates.

Hi to all,

Work along the template package is going very well and have created a tenth template. This one is a locals with return paths to their point of origin. It has nine (9) different paths. A lot of work has been done on this one to redefine regions to accomodate this template. There is no AI traffic on the CN line, it has been set instead along the CP line.

Benny is continuing to send reports of the acts and checks out sidings to make sure all sidings have the proper car attribute.

I have started working on a detailed readme file and will be updating the readme as work progresses and requires additional details.

I am posting 16 images among the SLG acts done so far. I will be posting the first half here and the remaining eight on the next post
