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.

Hello to all,

A ninth template has been added to the project: working the St.Thomas area.

From the Pinafore Yard, you will be running North, servicing the St-Thomas area industries and interchanges. Once past the Wabash junction, you will be required to make your runaround a few miles North at Yarmouth to service the remaining SB sidings until you reach your Southbound destination at the Pinafore Yard. Just remember that at St-Thomas, before crossing the Wabash and MCRR interchanges, make sure to ask the dispatcher (Ctrl+9) permission to cross both junctions, because of passing Wabash and MCRR trains along their tracks.

Here are some shots from an activity generated by AG. With an initial load of 10 cars, this activity can take up to two hours to run.
