New Zealand's Raurimu Spiral route, Oncoming template Options

[dgionet]

Hi to all,

A few weeks ago, Moe Smith (dispatcher) had made me a request to have a template set for the Raurimu Spiral route. Earlier, Trevor Burt, the route's maker has agreed to have Moe update the route by adding names to some unnamed sidings. Moe has updated the route and has sent me the update to allow a template to be made. Thanks Moe!

Since, I have finished this week the template and have just started to test the templates.

It doesn't have many sidings to work with (close to thirty), compared to other templates I have done. However, the scenery is worth to have the route downloaded. New Zealand is a very beautiful country and will try to show the best possible of this area. The route is also the site of the world famous Raumiru Spiral tunnel located mid-way along the route. Later I will post some shots when I reach the area. The route is located between Taumarunui (in the North) and Ohakune, in the South end on the Northern Island, about mid-way between Auckland and Wellington. It is my first route template for a route made in New Zealand.

The templates are NB and SB and also LOCALS template with two return paths, on both sides of the spiral tunnel.

Here are the first shots of the route starting at Taumarunui and going south. I am getting close to Ohwango and further to the spiral tunnel area.

















Will update later

Hi Ted,

It has been accidentally placed after the Redding route and the Raton III route template but it is there.
