OK, I'll try. I'm no picture taker like some of you guys are. :)
Here's a couple three more. I'm playin' an activity at the moment.
It's pretty much a straight line route. I does have a couple of minor diversions like car shops and a neighborhood and a few sidings.

You say a few sidings. So you can run freights and do a little switching, then?

I'm not sure yet. I haven't run the whole route and inspected all the nooks and crannies. I'm still playin'. :oldstry:
I'll report back as soon as I can. :thumbup3:

Your name and a few of your old cronies are mentioned quite often. :give_rose:

Glad you liked the route Rick, although I never considered old Zsa Zsa to qualify as "electric-powered traction" equipment! :p

You claim to be no photographer, but those are some nice shots you took! :oldstry:

Thanks, Bern.
I like Zsa Zsa, electric or not. :)

Here's most of the clutter you sent, Tim. I laid it all out. :D Thanks for the 'stuff'. :good:

Looking good, Rick. Are you going to mess with track work, add any sidings? Or leave it as is? I'm happy to see that old line car still in use!

I've been puttering with moving some of the L&PS over to TS2014. Here's a first screenshot, No 12 southbound around mile 6.

Hi Tim,
I've read the horror stories about messing with track after all the stations and other track related items have been installed permanently. My experience is that if you don't mess with any track that contains track related items, things will work after the new track work has been laid.
Actually, I've already done this. All I had to do was re-save all the activities and everything was back working again.
I have no plans to alter the route from point 'A' to point 'B' in any way but instead to just add/slip-in a siding or two.
Yes, I'm going to try to add sidings.

That ol' line car of yours is part of an activity I found at that other train site. I haven't been able to find any other activities, as of yet, for this route, tho.

:)

Yeah, you really do have to be careful with track tied to track objects. Hopefully you wont run afoul there adding some sidings or spurs.
