Hi all - I know there is a lot of work involved in making new templates, but I am wondering if any finish dates are available for the new routes that have been discussed i.e
MacTier - KCS - Holly - Piedmont
I am extremely interested in the MacTier route, as I was an Operator in MacTier Yard for 6 months in 1958, and also worked Midhurst Station and West Toronto Depot.
any dates???
Thanks Ted.
(p.s. -would also like to learn how to make AG's, myself)

Hello Ted,

I am still waiting for Ted Kocyla (alcoted) who is actually working on a detailed upgrade for the CP Mactier route at the Mophouse. It is getting closer to release but not yet. It is worth the wait, as seen in his screenshots of the upgrade he has done. So the template is expected to begin once the route gets released. While waiting for its release, I will be starting on the Milwaukee RMD_East route template. Moe (dispatcher) just PM'ed me and gave me the go ahead to proceed. So probably, I will be ending up working on two projects at a time.

Good start after a few months of rest from any projects. Glad to be back in business!

The KCS route author, Randell Carnley, is updating the track of the first version. A second version will extend much farther west to Vicksburg. I am working to install functioning signals to the first version, which will make the template much more fun since AI traffic will be possible. Once the signals are working and Randell approves, we will release a version 1 update for the route and for the template. Later, when version 2 track is complete, we'll repeat the process of updating scenery and signals plus a version 2 template.

This takes time. By comparison, templates are quick and easy.
