Hi to all,
Following a personal request from Benny, I have started to work on a new template for the Arizona & California route. It has been set during the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe (ATSF) era in the mid-seventies. It covers 190 miles between Matthie AZ and Cadiz CA. Also there is a 49-mile branch between Rice CA and Ripley CA. For the motive power, you will need the former Trainsimulations' Santa Fe pack 1 file (ATSF_Engines1.exe). From Danny Beck's files, I have added a few GP30' and GP35's to the roster for the project. I have done a few so far, EB and WB mainline templates from both destinations with some pickups along. One done so far which I took some time testing is between Blythe and Ripley. At Ripley, you will need some maneuvering to reverse your train for the return home. Some shots will be included to show the run. You will need your engine to run the first half on reverse. Here are the first shots, which include the first two at Matthie and Cadiz. The remainder is for the Ripley local run.
