RF&P, Updated and extended Options

[Conductor Chris]

I have a beta version of Steve Davis' RF&P route, now extended all the way to Richmond. Release will be soon. Who wants to make a new template?

Hi Christopher,

I have been testing the route as well and have taken the time to select the required downloads for an oncoming template. The timeframe has been rolled back to the early 90's during the first years of the Buckingham Branch RR and the Virginia Rail Express (VRE). Steve Dunham, its creator, also has agreed to create and name sidings inside the VRE shops at Alexandria. It is expected to have some switching of railcars in the shops there. There will be also some switching at Doswell, using a trackmobile, inspired from a video seen there using a trackmobile to switch cars (see below)

In the last picture, I have repainted two engines (fictional) with the VRE logo, from the excellent original ADMX SW14 by Tyler Bundy. They are expected to be used for switching the shops.

I will wait the release of the route to confirm the plan.
