Hi to all, Following Saluda's release at TS yesterday, I had a closer look at the route configuration and sidings and it looks an ideal candidate for a future template. Maybe not the quantity of some larger routes like Cajon NEC4 but enough sidings to keep the simmer busy. It will be even more challenging with its grades along the route and Saluda's grueling grades. Despite the absence yesterday of Scaleroad's missing textures ( have downloaded them today at TS) I was able to run last night the 4-5% grade between Saluda and Melrose. It will be a very challenging section of track to climb or go downhill. Bringing up, for example 3 cuts of 20 cars from Melrose and reassembling them at Saluda, refered as the Saluda Triple is an aspect of challenging the hill like I have not seen elsewhere in the US rail system. I believe more exciting aspects of the route are yet to be discovered. If nobody else has considered creating it, I am willing to go ahead with its construction.
