Hello to all,
As many of you know, the CP Mactier Sub was released last week in TS. The route also includes the entire Barrie-Collingwood (BCRY) short line between both cities. Only one engine is part of the BCRY roster, which is the BCRY 1001 GP9. Unfortunately, the engine was available nowhere among the MSTS downloads. Last Saturday, I have decided to try to create the GP9 for the BCRY. The newly BCRY 1001 has been successfully done and is now available in the Mophouse site as of today for download. Here it is: Also earlier this week, Ted Kocyla has enhanced the route with its texture upgrade. I wanted to finish the BCRY 1001 before going any further with plans to announce my intention to create a template. Now this and the texture upgrade are done, I am now ready to offer to create one for the route, if no one else has already started it. -------------------- Denis Gionet

Hi again,
Here are some shots of a SLG Generated act in the BCRY consisting of picking up cars from the Penetang car storage 2 to the Utopia sidings. The Penetang spur and its sidings, courtesy of Ted Kocyla, were not present in the original route. The Colwell Jct siding act as a runaround for the GP9 which allows to move out the first string of cars on Siding 1 to allow the pick up of the cars located at the Siding 2 near the end of the spur and bound for Utopia. The whole process took about 50 minutes to do. I have made a change to the maximum car capacity for each of the Penetang sidings (originally from 40 and 30 respectively) reducing them to 12 and 10 cars to allow the GP9 enough power to move the whole string of cars in one operation. I don t believe there are that many cars in the area as seen in one photograph of the spur, hence the reason of the reduction Enjoy the shots -------------------- Denis Gionet
