Hi to all,
I have started to take a look as how I can tackle my next project: The Long Island Railroad (LIRR) route. Quite a challenge ahead! It is a complex network and it is non signalled. In addition LIRR rail stock is very scarce and of low-quality, since many of the motive power and rolling stock has been made early in the MSTS' first years. I have taken some time to run the route to look up at the paths I can use to create templates. The project will take a similar approach as the ones used for the PRR v2 route templates: each template will be starting from zero and up. I have concentrated my first template around the Long Island City Car Float area and have created the first SLG activity depicting work between the Car Float area and the EB and WB Classification Yard, a short path compared with others later that should have longer paths. Here are the first photos of this activity  LIRR1 by Denis Gionet, sur Flickr LIRR2 by Denis Gionet, sur FlickrMore later. -------------------- Denis Gionet

Hi to all,
Just to confirm the project is now complete: 18 templates and more than 350 serviceable sidings. Here are shots from the latest template, the Glendale Template. From the East Yard, servicing both industrial sidings at Glendale & Parkside. You are required to exit the mainline to service both areas, return on the mainline and resume your run to destination in the Jamaica freight Yard  LIRR Glendale Template (1) by Denis Gionet, sur Flickr LIRR Glendale Template (2) by Denis Gionet, sur Flickr LIRR Glendale Template (3) by Denis Gionet, sur Flickr LIRR Glendale Template (4) by Denis Gionet, sur Flickr LIRR Glendale Template (5) by Denis Gionet, sur Flickr LIRR Glendale Template (6) by Denis Gionet, sur Flickr LIRR Glendale Template (7) by Denis Gionet, sur Flickr LIRR Glendale Template (8) by Denis Gionet, sur Flickr LIRR Glendale Template (9) by Denis Gionet, sur Flickr LIRR Glendale Template (10) by Denis Gionet, sur FlickrThe readme file is currently being worked on with instructions and hope to have the templates released in about a week or two, once Benny gives me the OK for the remaining templates to be tested. More later. -------------------- Denis Gionet
