Adelaide Hills Route (Austrailia - freeware). |
The Adelaide, Hills & South East route is located in Southern Australia, which is known as the driest state in the driest continent on the planet. This 1950's route covers the entire metropolitan area of Adelaide and a number of branch lines: over 600 miles of main line. It is considered an absolute masterpiece and is worth downloading and running. It can be downloaded as a single self-install file (350MB) or as separate files at the following link: http://steam4me.railpage.org.au/trainsim/routes/sar_adlv2.html Denis has been able to test most areas and it looks OK. Although he feels confident the template is fit to be released as is, he has decided to release it as a Beta version to allow users to report any problems whatsoever for a while. Please report those in the forum. |

Ohio Rail build 10 for AG3 Freeware route by Rich Garber. Available at www.avsim.com, Payware Update available here. | Updated 12-9-07 to correct a missing car type. Rich Garber has released a scenery upgrade for his Ohio Rail route which brings this route up to the standard of Cumberland and Canton-Grove. Check it out here! He also removed nearly all the signals on the branch lines. Because of this I have completely re-written the Activity Generator template for this route. Due to the number of branch lines and towns, and because all are accessible, this template has more start points and paths than any template I've ever created! The template has been tested with the Rich's payware update but should also run with Ohio Rail Build 10 WITHOUT the update. If you have Activity Generator and Ohio Rail, you should try this template. | Steve Davis | AG 3 or later. |

Saluda ---the Asheville & Spartanburg Norfolk Southern Line. Freeware by Kent Weissinger | Updated 9/15/2007 to correct a template
error discovered by a user.
"I have many, many
impressions of Saluda Mountain both during the time I was a train
dispatcher in Asheville and also when I returned later as division
superintendent ... It is undoubtedly the most dangerous and critical stretch
of mainline railroad anywhere in the country, and the unusual events that
have occurred on the mountain would fill a rather large book. Fortunately,
modem equipment such as pressure maintaining features of locomotives as well
as more sophisticated brake equipment have reduced the danger to some
extent, but as you know it is still a piece of railroad that must be
watched every minute." ---President and Chief Operating Officer H. H. Hall of Norfolk Southern, December 1982 |

San Diego and Arizona (SD&A) route (route built by Mark DiVecchio)
|
Updated 12/6/2007 modified the required rollingstock.doc file in the SDA file following the release of the missing locos file at Train-sim.com today. Details of this release have been reported in the forum. The San Diego and Arizona Railway simulated version covers around 80 miles from the US-Mexico borderline to the city of El Centro, in the Imperial Valley. When considering the area for construction in the early 1900's, it was once called "the impossible railroad" by reputable engineers because of its passing through the magnificent Carriso Gorge, close to the Mexican border. The railroad was one of the most expensive ever built in the U.S., costing almost $19 million in 1919. | Denis Gionet | AG 4 or later. |
