Is anyone considering producing a template for the Cripple Creek Railroads route using the stock provide for the route by Don Karch?

While we are on the subject, what about the Long Island Railroad and the upcoming Connecticut River Line?

Hi to both of you.

As for the LIRR route from Vince, would like to see additional motive power for the LIRR since there is very little in terms of stock (diesel era) before considering a template project. Also to consider absence of signalling along the route. Despite this and the route configuration, a template could be done but will take some head scratching to cope with the issue.

I am following development from BLW/ZT for the oncoming stock for the ConnRiver route.

There are other routes to be released in the future that I follow their progress: Sherman Hill, The MILW Coast division, first Sub, also the Mullan pass project from Sean Kelly, etc...

I have also looked at the Fantasii route and a template could be done with it, mostly along the mainline. Very few sidings on the other branches, not sure to be worth working templates along.

I still have very limited time with MSTS due to other interests but not given up with oncoming templates, just on a slower pace.

Denis, you made no reference to the subject of my email, the Cripple Creek Railroads.

The BLWZT Conn River set will be done within a month, or soon after.

We are taking the first steps toward making a Long Island Railroad set - locomotives and passenger cars. The freight cars on LIRR actually had much in common with the Conn River set, so I don't think we'll do a separate freight pack.

Hi David,

The Cripple Creek Railroad template is not part of my oncoming projects. That may change later if time permits. Due to limited time with MSTS, I have to keep my list of oncoming route templates short for the moment. Time will tell.

If someone else wishes to tackle with the Cripple Creek Railroad template project, feel free to proceed.

Thanks Christopher for your update for the upcoming Conn River set and the LIRR project.
