Adding a bit of trivia, to the "version 3" of the Birmingham Route . I was sent a courtesy / working copy, of a version 3, where, if I understood correctly, would have featured Paul's excellent work . This was provided to my attention by Curtis ( "Snootnose" ) Doucette, who, also, had added his own personal touch to this ( namely, lots of trackside detailing, lines utility poles with wires, etc ... ).
I only worked a very short 3 weeks on upgrading the Terrtex , but did not see / perceive , any further interest in pursuing the overall process of finalizing such Upgrade . Not unlike everyone else , it seems, I also lost this copy to a hard drive crash ( on a "storage" ... computer ) , although, in the last 6 months, I was kindly provided with yet another copy , that would have been been shared by Curtis .
Overall, I still would rate "this" version 3 ( as, my understanding is that there actually are many ..."version 3", so to speak ), of the Birmingham Route , as way-way up there , with the likes of Jeff's Surfliner Route . As much as it would be a shame to let this "version 3" slip by, unreleased, personally, I am now trying to juggle 3 Route projects, and in the last few months, still couldn't find the time to even install it and have a look...
