I started this template about a year ago and then stopped it when Teemu told me he was going to extend it to Niagara Falls. Teemu sent me the new Buffalo route yesterday and I will work it along side the PRR Eastern. The Buffalo route is only about 60 miles long but it has almost 1300 sidings. It is a huge industrial switching route with 8 Railroads involved.
Teemu has done a great job on this route. Pete |

Hello to all,
I am happy to announce that the Buffalo Templates are now finished. A few years ago, when I have first seen this route (the earlier version in 2009), I couldn't imagine possible creating a project with the route. It was too complex for me to have one done. Well today, I am proud this is now behind. Additional years of experience and careful planning made this project possible. Now let's hope to see that oncoming route released soon! (No date release yet - still in testing phaze) Here are some numbers coming with the template project: 67 templates, 10 different RR's (BCK, NIAJ, SB, B&O, N&W, TH&B, CN, LV, EL and finally the PC), 187 consists, 335 template (ACT,CTP,PRO, SWLACT, SWLTDB) files, 302 path files, 336 service files, 58 traffic files and ... many hours of work. Traffic files are lower since some of the traffic patterns are used by two templates. Each template has been customized to increase performance by removing all regions that were not required in the SWLTDB file while having a reasonable railfill around the player paths. Despite that, the user will have to adjust graphic and sound sliders for lower-end computers. It has been difficult to find the proper balance. I will resume testing, but on a slower pace since other issues are taking some of my time until everything gets back to normal. Well that's life isn't it? The readme file is still to be started and this will take time to detail the templates and instructions to run them. Will update later with pics of some of the activities generated or any route developments. -------------------- Denis Gionet
