Hello to all,
Prior to the route release this week-end, I have received a request to have a template made for the route. I no one else steps forward, I am ready to take on a look at the route to consider making one. It will be a massive enterprise with at least three Railroads to tackle with, the Monon, the MILW and the NYC. This one is expected to take a lot of time to complete. Here are the first photos captured of this amazing route. Congratulations Rick for a well done job! Will wait for replies Thanks -------------------- Denis Gionet

The templates are planned to be completely different as they will be based on actual trains operated in the fifties and the sixties.
Benny had provided me a link to a document available in the TS site (motrains.zip). A big thanks Benny for this precious document! It has enough information to create templates in this way. It provides crew change points (Lafayette and Bloomington), it gives some freight details for fast (numbered 50's and higher) and local (numbered 40's) freight trains and the areas covered. I have also downloaded on the Monon official site ( monon.org) a timetable to help with schedules and runs covered. It will not be meant to replicate exactly the timetables but might change the timing to have most work done in daytime. Templates by train number have been done for the Dominion Atlantic Railway (DAR) Template in the Spring of last year. I will wait first for replies if someone else would like to take on the challenge before moving on. -------------------- Denis Gionet
