Long Island Railroad (LIRR), Oncoming template project Options

[dgionet]

Hi to all,

I have started to take a look as how I can tackle my next project: The Long Island Railroad (LIRR) route. Quite a challenge ahead! It is a complex network and it is non signalled. In addition LIRR rail stock is very scarce and of low-quality, since many of the motive power and rolling stock has been made early in the MSTS' first years. I have taken some time to run the route to look up at the paths I can use to create templates.

The project will take a similar approach as the ones used for the PRR v2 route templates: each template will be starting from zero and up.

I have concentrated my first template around the Long Island City Car Float area and have created the first SLG activity depicting work between the Car Float area and the EB and WB Classification Yard, a short path compared with others later that should have longer paths.

Here are the first photos of this activity

Hi Denis

I ran a few of the activities set up for AI to run (Hempstead to Brooklyn, Brooklyn to hempstead, Brooklyn to Long Beach and Brooklyn to Rockaway). All ran without a hitch. I will now try some of the activities that I have to take an active part in running.
