Hi to everyone,
I have been away for quite a while. Over 2 1/2 years ago I was hit by a nasty PC virus that just about ruined everything in my PC and external HD. At that time my son was dealing with heart and kidney failure and Train Sim seemed unimportant. He is now waiting for a heart and kidney transplant. I didn't know my 2014 PRR Template was no longer in the Template list. The PRR Template was the only thing I didn't lose because I had it stored on an online storage site. I also received a copy from Harlen in this forum. For those who are unfamiliar with PRR Eastern route it is the largest route ever made. It took 10 men 6 years to create. It has 4500 miles of track, 2400 sidings, 87 yards and covers 3 Divisions and 5 Railroads (PRR-B&O-CNJ-LV-RDG). I want to add to the Template Package with some new ideas I have come up with before I repost it. It now has 115 templates and I want to add 5 to 10 more. Right now it has very large files, Activities (.act, .Pro, .ctp, .cvs and .tdb)-576, Consists-171, Traffic-121, Paths-336 and Services-786. When ready I will send a screen shot and a link for downloading it. It will be a complete Mini-Route with everything except the Valley Pass Payware. You will need the PRR 1950 set, the PRR#3 set and the Troop set. |

The second template involves exchange of diesel engines inside the Altoona shops.
Working with locomotives is not a first for me but servicing engines with two (2) fully functional turntables is. Vince has done a worderful job making them functional. That is why this oncoming route must be run on Open Rails. It consists of exchanging engines between the roundhouse/ engine storage sidings and the engine shops. There are two shops in Altoona; the first is Juniata and the second is Altoona West. At Lewiston, you will be able to exchange engines to the shops but without any roundhouse or turntable. One issue I have encountered: using the F6 key to view the sidings to be serviced ended with crashes. I have no idea what could be causing that. I have not encountered this issue elsewhere. Could it be related with the turntables? I may try to get in touch with Elvas tower with this issue at Altoona. Here are shots from one section of the activity working on the first two operations at Juniata, that is swapping from the shops one engine to be transferred inside the roudhouse.
