Max,

It is a modified version of Rick Berg's Monon Route V17.

I'm so stupid. I just realized I've been uploading resource intensive .PNG shots this whole time. Thought I was converting them to .jpgs. Sorry everyone.

Anyway here are some .JPG shots of a mixed bag of early CR stuff pulling a monster 140 manifest on the CR Indy 2.

A quintet of Central Vermont GP9s smokes things up a bit on the DAR.

What!? 140 cars? I'm not even running stackers that long... O_O
Conbuilder + Another Fictional = Complete destruction of fictional empires
Yeah, I was bored.

IMO Pentecosta doesn't make a bad appropriation for any fictional empire, just the speed limits are a bit hard to follow in the cabs of locomotives designed to conquer US iron.

One of the reasons I appropriated this route as a (non-canonical) region of operation for MSVR is the limitless potential the plethora of tracks and complex trackwork offer for activities.

Arriving in Mimizan Plage terminus. Running push-pull intercities outside of the Del Monte? I'll take it.

With the train now unloaded after arrival in Mimizan Plage the cabcar is used to stow it.

And now for something completely different...

I´ll try it. I know he´s here, but what´s his nickname (No pun intended)?

Cheers, Markus

The Nick in question is Nick Ozorak, or Train-a-Mania on this site. He's the creator of At The Railyard, a series which looks at routes and rolling stock for various train simulators and ultimately gives the routes an rating. The series is well-known for its cinematic style, to the point where Executive Vice President Steven West (Noisemaker) called him the Steven Spielberg of MSTS.

:sign_thanks: for the extensive reply, Dustin. I know of the At-the-Railyard series and like watching it. Eagerly waiting for the next review ;)

I only was not sure about is forum name here, which I of course need in order to PM him :)

Cheers, Markus

A loner in a sea of red and black, 5936 is the last remaining GTW painted SD40-2 on the Canadian National system. Original repaint by Jeff Auberpine that I modified to better represent the actual locomotive including adding rear number boards and ditch lights, changing the step ends to yellow and modifying the axle bearings to an enclosed type. All rolling stock from SLI, route is the LaSalle Rockford and Central.

Max,

Those Rutland locomotives look right at home on the DAR. :) :oldstry: :good2: Paul developed a great route there that can be many different places in the New York/ New England area besides just NS.

For the Fourth of July, MSVR is running a "FBL Tour" using our Daylight OCS and two of our Patriot lineup: Patriot I (ES44AC 700) and Patriot II (SD70M 5100). The tour trains start at Frampton and Mount Oliver, then combine at Lake Hurst to travel the main line to Fort Fairfax. On the return to Lake Hurst the train detours to take a full trip around the Simonville branch. Once the combined consist arrives in Lake Hurst, it is split again and the separate trains return to their origins in time for each city's respective fireworks show.
The Mount Oliver section waits for its Frampton counterpart, who was delayed by tunnel work.
[img]https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5585/14574951735_71260f7234_o.png[/img With both trains disembarked, the crews move to combine the consists. Essentially, the front of the Mount Oliver consist is joined to the front of the Frampton one, and both locomotives are moved to the head of the combined set. [img]https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3896/14388525537_8fc09671c0_o.png[/img]
After re-embarking its passengers, the combined train sets out on its journey.

6 hours later, the set is almost back at Lake Hurst. Work on the troublesome Josha's Creek Viaduct prevented a full tour of the Simonville branch due to time constraints.

As of now, the sets are almost split and preparing to highball.
Happy Fourth of July to you all!

Cool shots, Thom!

And thank you, Paul! They've taken a lot of work between me and Rick Franzoza.

Nice shots Paul!

It's a little weird seeing MEC and Guilford power together though. :clapping:
