Jaszkisér-Nagybereg 3 route, Template to be released soon Options

[dgionet]

Hello to all,

Following a request from Damo, one of our australian users of AG, I have started last week working a template for the Jaszkiser_Nagybereg_3 route, my second Hungarian route. The templates are finished and are being tested. Only 4 downloads needed, all activity packs.

Some details about the route and the oncoming templates:

The Jaszkiser_Nagybereg_3 route is a fictional Hungarian route which is a combination of electrified and non-electrified lines. The main line is electrified and has 46km of double tracks from Nagybereg (East) to Jaszkisér (West). About 40km of non electrified lines compose the branches located south which start at MP 11 (Mezöföldvár) and ends at around MP 33 ( Bükkváralja).

The route will require the use of Xtracks 3.20 or higher.


The Template package


The Jaszkiser_Nagybereg_3 template set is composed of 7 different templates. Except for one template, all have AI traffic. Due to the presence of electrified and non-electrified tracks, 3 templates have been created specifically for electric engines and 4 templates for diesel engines. Each type of line have EB, WB and YARDS templates. The seventh template is a local diesel template serving local areas between Jaszkisér and Jaszhidvég and return. The total number of serviceable sidings is 55. Maps will be provided to help in work selection.

The main player engine for the ELECTRIC EB and WB templates is the V43 double cab locomotive. It has about 3000 hp of power which can pull reasonably about 20-25 cars. They start at Nagybereg (WB) or Jaszkisér (EB) and runs along the electrified main line through Bükkváralja and Biharsomlyó.The main player engine for the ELECTRICYARDS template is the V46 switcher which delivers about 1100 hp. All ELECTRICYARDS paths have been set to have the V46 loco work exclusively in the assigned areas as specified in the path selection

The main player engine for the DIESEL EB and WB templates is the M41 diesel double cab locomotive. It has about 1800 hp of power which can pull reasonable about 15 cars. They start at Nagybereg (WB) or Jaszkisér (EB) and runs along the non-electrified branch lines through Szászhalom and Pusztamonostor. The main player engine for the DIESELYARDS template is the M44 switcher which delivers about 500 hp. In this one, you work your M44 and your load between Szászhalom and Pusztamonostor, which are located seven (7km) kilometres from each other.


The last template, the JASZKISÉR_LOCAL template is a special template that has been conceived to do local service between Jaszkisér and Jaszhidvég and return. The M41 diesel engine is the player engine for the template. To maximize its use, no AI traffic will be used and will require to toggle the switching mode to Manual and the signalling mode to Permissive. To allow a return path, Regions have been redefined and have been set to allow easy pickup or setout of cars along the route. Sidings being used on the way to Jaszhidvég will not be used again for the return trip. The remaining unused sidings on the first half will be used on the return trip to Jaszkisér and may have after their region name the suffix -return to differentiate from the regions of the same name being used for the first half toward Jaszhidvég. For example at Andráspuszta, the “Andráspuszta rakodó” siding is part of the “Andráspuszta” region to allow pickup or setout towards Jaszhidvég while the other siding that is the Andráspuszta hizlalda” siding is part of the “Andráspuszta-return” region for work back to Jaszkisér.

I am including some shots of the route, rolling stock from AG-generated activities and the network map of the route.

Hope to release in about a week or so.

Cheers

Enjoy
