Everything is looking good Paul.

Hi All,

The route is complete and tested and I'm down to making and running activities.

Here are two screenshots taken in Connaught from two different activities, train 415 and train 152 around 520 in the morning.

The last shot is evocative. Looks good Paul! :thumbup3:

Some passenger switching at Porquis Junction and the bus waiting to take passengers to Iroquois Falls. Back in the 30s this would have been done with a doodlebug.

I'm down to one last activity to write and run, then a syatem map and a README file that nobody will read.

Here are a few shots from the last activity on the Ontario Northland, Train 150 from Cochrane to Porqois
Junction, Train 50 arrives from Timmins and takes a couple of cars from 150 that returns to Timmins as
Train 151.

Train 50 arrives from Timmins white Train 151 waits on the passing siding.

Finished writing and running the last activity to be included with the ONR route, switching the
Abitibi Power and Paper mill at Iroquois Falls.

Abitibi 70 was a three truck Shay built in 1926 and bought third hand in 1947. In 1950 Abitibi
bought a new S-4 but crews liked the Shay so much it was retained as backup power for when the
S-4 was in for servicing. The Shay was kept until full retirement in the mid-1970s and put on
display in Iroquois Falls where it remains today.

Here are a few screenshots of 70 working the plant and taking cars back and forth to be interchanged
with the Ontario Northland.

1103 the last in a group of four Northern built for the Ontario Northland, and the last steam built for the railway.
I still need to do more road testing but it ran well in the yard including coupling. The plan is to create a couple
of steam activities for 701 and 1103.

What an impressive body of work you've created! The 1103 is a handsome Northern with that semi streamlined garb and long and low-rakish tender! :thumbup3: :thumbup3:

I knew years ago that I wanted to make one of these Tim, just a nice looking engine with the walkway skirting.
