Russ Do you play MSTS as well?
It is a consist I made with the two BN RLM units and fuel tender followed by 3 SD60M's. It's little over 50 empty BN container cars. It is a route that goes from Trinidad Wa, to Seattle/Interbay Washington. It takes close to 4 hrs to totally complete.

Now you have me wondering- What does it look like, as you approach the east portal of Cascade Tunnel?

:D

Boxcab E50

That, and anything on Steven's Pass...

I wanna see Wenatchee.

[Stourbridge Lion]

Cool! Is this done locally on the PC or as a Internet? If the later can dialup users do this without getting :mad: from the lack of speed?

Any D&H options?

[Greg Lussier]

It is s simulation program/game. It is not a online game. however i think there is some way you can play online but it takes a lot of customization to do.

The locos, cars, and map(route) were all custom built that you see pictured.

It is a very fun game and you can usually find it for pretty cheap now. check amazon.com for Mircosoft Train Simulator.

In a MSTS forum someone has just made a Wenatchee route but i have yet to download it.

Cool! The scenery reminds me of Codemasters' "Operation Flashpoint" on the fictitious Malden Islands. Nice to see BN on Everon.

I could never figure out how to download new engines and cars.I would love to run that train on my MSTS.How do i do it?Where do you get those new engines?

[friscobob]

Nice screenshots! How do you do that? I have MSTS, and want to show a screenshot of the Frisco Ft. Smith route I downloaded and am running with Frisco Geeps, plus a Texas Special consist on the Full BUcket Lines.

How do ya do the screenshots?


BTW, I've been replacing all the Beansniff diesels with BN, Frisco, Rock Island, and rent-a-wreck engines graemlins/wink.gif

[Greg Lussier]

How do ya do the screenshots?

[/QB]while you are running a route just press the print screen button on your keyboard. it is located to the far right, above the arrow keys on the key board.

be sure to remove any useful tools you use in MSTS like your speed, brake ratios and what not so that they don't show up on your pics!

Just bought 3D Train Stuff "Vintage Trains Over Tehachapi",cant wait to have a go at those cab-forwards & FT units.Also have Route 2 & expantion 1&2.Plus I got Cajon Pass 1&2,great stuff.
Still trying to figure out the mutiple player bit though.

Since I got MSTS downloaded on the new 'puter (30 GB), I've added the route from OhioRail, Port Ogden & Northern, and the Frisco's Ft. Smith line, circa 1960 (with proper Frisco GP7s as power!).

My budget is limited, so I limit myself to freeware downloads of activities, routes, diesels, and motive power.
