Trainz DAR/CNR Halifax Sub Project ongoing

If it's smaller than a bread box then it belongs in here. Post comments, stories, photos and whatever else seems appropriate for a model railway forum.

Great Work!

If you're going to do all that for Nova Scotia, Middleton to Bridgewater, Bridgewater to Yarmouth, Yarmouth back to Middleton and have also Bridgewater to Halifax and Middleton back to Halifax with Halifax to Truro, and Truro to Windsor. That would be So great I might have to get half decent computer for the Middleton Station Railway Museum and but them trains and get you to help set it up on their computer!

I love how you've got it a mix of old, what's still here, and what if, which would make for a great time doing runs. I do love how you've got a passenger train in at the Kentville Station with WHRC engine and caboose.

What's the current run time if driving a train from Windsor to Kentville?

If you need some help with track planning I've got a few layouts laid out in anyrail for yards, I do have Truro planned out as it's currently is with a mix with DAR interconnected.

Sure thing The demo vrison of the route will be awhile I hope to get DAR steamers if one of the trainz gentlemen agrees to do them for me I built this map alot like my Dragons Pass route with everything mixed into one map, Reason I did the "what if" on the DAR is to open up to new possibility if the DAR stell was going strong and bring new ideas that may open eyes to some of throws blinded. Even now the reaming track stell has a chance to reopen all it needs is a kick in the nuts. I seen the line form Windsor to the junction I know its not as bad as its been made out to be you can get another 10 years out of 85% of that track.

The time it takes form Windsor to kentville is about 30 to 40mins give or take afew, I'm always looking for anyone willing to help with this project there alot of miles needs covering and thousions of hours of work yet. I'm prolbey at 65% done Phase 1

How many downloads did you get requests for? Pretty ambitious project that comes off pretty nice. Are you now working on more track or more cars and engines?

To be honst I lost count, I'm working on many parts to the map the route is divided into 3 large maps because the things far to big for trainz to handle.
I'm picking away at the route but I have plans to build more custom models and stuff for it.
