The London & Port Stanley (L&PS) 5th Anniversary Edition route, New template project Options

[dgionet]

In 2005 was released the original LPS route ( version 2) by Wayne Campbell and, in 2010 , version 3.01, with major enhancements.

While Benny was testing the LIRR Route template, I have been working on a template pack for the 5th anniversary edition of the route. The template project is now finished and is being tested.

The project has 8 templates and more than 75 serviceable sidings. The timeframe is in the 1930's. For this project, two Canadian National (CN) cabooses have been released today in the Trainsim File Library to add some traffic on the CN line in London.

Here they are:

Among the templates, there are two mainline (NB & SB), 2 local (NB & SB) and switching templates in London (2) & Port Stanley (2).

Here are some shots from activities generated with AG.

Hi to all,

Since my last post, changes are being done to make this project more interesting. I have created traffic on both the Wabash and Michigan Central trackage at St.Thomas. Both engines are available on the Trainsim file library. However, there are no cabooses of both railroads in the F/L. To make this possible, I have done repaints of both the Wabash and Michigan Central cabooses, according to pictures seen online with their original numbers. They are expected to be uploaded later in the Trainsim F/L. Here are pictures of each of the Railroads with engine and corresponding caboose. Also remember that the Michigan Central railroad is controlled by the New York Central Railroad, hence the presence of a NYC engine with the MCRR caboose.

For the L&PS player train, it will be necessary, before crossing both junctions, to have clearance from the dispatcher (CTRL +9) before proceeding through.

Will post on the next post some shots from activities generated by AG.
