Hello everyone,
As I have finished working on the Western province route, I have started working immediately on another of Joppie Saayman's route, that is the Great Karoo route. It starts at Beaufort-West and ends North 70 miles further at Barnard with Hutchinson Yard, about 5 miles before the end of the route. It is a combination of double and single track main lines.The Great Karoo is part of the 1000-mile Capetown-Pretoria line.It has 33 serviceable sidings, simpler in content and a little more scenic than the previous one It has both NB and SB templates. Maps of the 11 regions have been included indicating the marker’s orientation, which will help the user in determining the work to be done There are around 12 AI trains inside both templates, both passenger and freight, including the Blue Train. Also take note that to meet successfully AI trains on the single-track stretch, it is recommended to set the maximum of cars to handle at twenty-five (20) because of the limited length of some of the sidings used to meet oncoming traffic. I have finished the template and have done testing and it looks OK to upload. I have sent to Steve the package and sould be available in the next days. Here are some shots of the route. Enjoy -------------------- Denis Gionet
