Trainz 2009 - RWL Route Update
Just wanted to update everyone on my long term project in Trainz called RWL. It is a scale simulation of a fictional mountian pass mainline route, with spurs, yards, towns and working industries. In all total, the Route is about 100 scale miles at this time. Kachinahey was a Junction town which I created when I was doing a demonstration on how to build routes with TRS2006. I am happy to report that it is still very much an active town.
Recently I have added some industrial sidings, including a Gravel Pit, and a Furnature Factory. I also added a 2nd track on the mainline, which serves both the Mainline and the Kachinahey Subdivision. Also, while I did fully cover the hills with pine trees, I found it lowered my FPS too much for me to be able to work on it. So I removed some of them for now. I do plan on having the route look very realistic in terms of its tree coverage however.
I also expanded the Kachinahey Subdivision to meet up with a town called Wright where there will be a small yard. Beyond Wright is going to be a Nickle Mine. There is also another Railroads trackage which joins ours at Wright, and will presumably share our trackage down the Scajaquada Valley.
Further down the Mainline, there is a new town called Leamington. This town has a Chemical plant, and a Logging Camp. It will also likely have another industry, but space is limited.
All in all, the route is progressing slowly but steadily. I am enjoying Trainz, and it does satisfy my desire for a model train layout which I have always had since I was a young boy.
