MSTS Route--Rocky Mountain Div. East Options

[dgionet]

Hello to all,

Lukas Lusser and his contributors have released today the above route, which is actually the RMD-1 and RMD-2 combined and updated, that is from Harlowton to Deer Lodge. He has also released railstock to go along with the route. I am downloading the route as I write to find out if it is suitable for a template. I believe it will be, since the latest route of the Milwaukee series, the RMD-1 had the sidings marked.

Work is also done on the rest of the route from Deer Lodge to Avery in the future.Not sure when but will be interesting to follow its progress which can be seen inthe TS forum.

Will update later for the results of the present download.

Hi Paul,

Great to see that yourself are able to post shots as well here. So far, I have started to build the traffic patterns (WB and EB) on the whole area. Each traffic pattern will apply on all 3 WB templates and the same for the EB. I have moved early to 7h30 the starting time of all the WB template player trains (MILW, NP and the BA&P). The main reason is that I have used genuine 1956 (MILW) and 1959(NP) timetables to establish departure time respectively at Deer Lodge and at Butte for the Olympian Hiawatha (OH) and the North Coast Limited (NCL). I have not found any timetable on the BA&P line and have set the Anaconda departure between both transcon trains.

On the NP, the NCL's departure at Butte was around 7h45 AM and arrived to Logan at around 9h40 AM and then away from the RMD_East route towards Bozeman MT. In the MILW, the OH's left Deer Lodge at about 8h00 and reached Harlowton at 13h40. On the AE, the OH it arrives about 30 minutes earlier at Harlowton compared to the original timetables. Not too bad compared to genuine schedules.

Well that's it so far and the work continues.

Thanks for taking this on, Denis. I've been too busy to try out the route yet, but it looks stunning from all of the screenshots I've been seeing!
