Illinois Railway Museum, Oncoming Template project Options

[dgionet]

Hi to all,

A few years ago, Eric Olesen, from TrainSim, has created the Illinois Railway Museum (IRM) route. Originally, the route had no sidings to create a template. Recently, I have created sidings and named them, using the IRM maps from the official site and the one included with the route. Today, Eric gave me the go ahead with the project. The modified TDB and WORLD files will be sent to Eric so he can update his route with these TDB and WORLD changes.

I have posted some shots in the TrainSim site if you want to have a quick look at the project. It will be a switcher's paradise.

The project is well underway and is getting closer and closer to completion.

Will bring more details as it advances

Hi to all,

The Illinois Railway Museum (IRM) is now complete and the readme file is nearly done as well.

Since it is a railway museum, a high number of downloads is expected. I tried to have the rolling stock as diversified as possible while at the same time keeping the downloads as low as possible. 42 downloads are required from Trainsim and three payware from BLW/ZT. They are the Buffalo mega pack, the Conrail EMD and the CNW packages. Many of the engines were made unpowered (WAG) to allow them to be switched while others have been downloaded to be part of the showcase, such as, for example, the UP GTEL, DD40X and steam engines (see last picture)

Here are some shots captured during testing of the project.

It will be important to read the readme file for some detailed instructions to run correctly the template, about the route installation and also on running the templates.
