Monon-2 version 16 route, Template Options

[dgionet]

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

Hi to all,

Another successfull run for Monon train 46 NB from Indy to Monon.

I could have taken more shots but have focused on the most interesting part of this run.

Frankfort is where the Monon, PRR and the NKP meet. In the run, I had to pickup and setout cars in both interchanges with the PRR and the NKP as well as some work in the scrap yard, which is located inside both interchanges. In the first shots, the user can see a successfull meet with the PRR, waiting for my engines to clear before moving forward (see 2nd and 3rd shot)

The screenshots show the work in chronological order from the arrival and departure from Frankfort.

Because of a oncoming meet with a Monon Passenger train, after picking up the cars at all locations, I needed to back up to the mainline half a mile South and allow the train to take to the passing siding. Once cleared, I came back to setout all the cars to their respective locations. Once done, I resumed the run NB.

During all the work there, toggling the signalling to permissive has been necessary to complete. Make sure also to save your work regularly. Had to reload after making the mistake to delay the toggling.

The ninth (9th) picture gives you an idea of the Frankfort area and the surrounding railroads and the sidings that have been worked during the run.

Here are the shots:





















Continuing testing and more to come later.
