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 Flickr More later. -------------------- Denis Gionet

Hi to all,
Work is continuing on the project and, so far, seven templates are now done. Here are pictures from some of the templates that have been done. Long Island City area Yards LIRR Template Image 1 by Denis Gionet, sur Flickr LIRR Template Image 2 by Denis Gionet, sur Flickr LIRR Template Image 3 by Denis Gionet, sur Flickr LIRR Template Image 4 by Denis Gionet, sur Flickr LIRR Template Image 5 by Denis Gionet, sur Flickr Penny Bridge Area between the Wheelspur and Haberman Yards Penny Bridge SB Template (1) by Denis Gionet, sur Flickr Penny Bridge SB Template (2) by Denis Gionet, sur Flickr Penny Bridge SB Template (3) by Denis Gionet, sur Flickr Penny Bridge SB Template (4) by Denis Gionet, sur Flickr Penny Bridge SB Template (5) by Denis Gionet, sur Flickr Benny has volunteered in testing the templates but is having an issue. While the SLG-generated activity loose consists shows on Conbuilder (and probably the MSTS AE), none of the loose consists appear in the activities themselves. In other routes, no issues on his side. Has anyone been successful in running the basic activities that came with the LIRR route or having issues on their own? Thanks for your feedback -------------------- Denis Gionet
