I use Cprr 4-4-0 #60

In fact I bought the No 119 afterwards and I did not see that it also had the same tracks!!

Hello

I very rarely pass from or my very late response!

Unfortunately, the file is no longer available, I completely stopped developing on TS today.
So I also emptied my Google account of everything contained and I am not kept a copy of what I did
.
I'm sure someone should be able to give it to you and why not post it here on the forum for everyone.
You can give yourself all my lines and you can modify them at your convenience, I never close my creations to other modders.

Zawal.

I have to say, Zawal sir, that is devastating news that you're hanging up your TS hat for good. As one who has admired your work immensely, and doubly so as one who has just barely started down the path of route building myself, it's no exaggeration to say that I am actually near to tears hearing that. If a master like you can finally throw in the towel, then what hope and point is there for me to even start?

If it was your own choice, then I wish all the best. Surely all good things must come to an end, and I hope you have found or will find a new passion to occupy your soul.

If it was a decision forced upon you by undue and unjust harassment and persecution, then I will personally track down and wring the scrawny necks of every last one responsible for crushing your creative will.

Well say that there is a bit of both, the general ras le bol and the "little" forum chief (notably the French forums).

I still think I've been around in 13 years of creation on TS.
Today I fully enjoy TSW2 and other great car racing games (I've been a fan of car games forever!).

The great thing about TS is that only your imagination is the limit of your creativity.
Listen only to yourself, never let others dictate your desire, indulge yourself in creating your personal route, real or fictitious.

I wish you much happiness in creating on TS as much as I took in creating routes for the whole world.

PS: We share for free only for the pleasure of giving pleasure not to be "noted" as I see it too often.
What is given must not be denigrated, you love you keep, you do not love, you do not keep it, no need to "break" the creator, because in this sense we will end up having nothing.

See you soon zawal.

Zawal, I also have enjoyed all your creations, especially Abandoned Railroad. Everything so rich in foliage and detail. You have a knack to weather and age. Thank you again. I have saved all that I have downloaded and will share with those who request them. Thank you.

[zawal]

Well, I bought the "Alco Mallet 0-6-6-0" pack, at Machine Rails, very good quality material, and ...

So maybe I will please some of you.
Since I have a new toy and don't have a little line to play with.
Yes yes I know, I said I would stop doing routes on TS, yes but, who is going to do it if it's not me?
And then, we're never as well served as by ourselves, aren't we?

In short, I am going to make a small fictitious road (completely fictitious the percentage of slope and even the ground), nothing real because "by hand" in the old way.
Just for driving the steam locomotives and making beautiful screens on a 12-mile-long.
It will be very basic, no big stuff, just two deposits, one at the start and the other at the finish with enough to load coal in the middle and roundabouts to turn around.

I will also put the "coal and water" supplies as well as another for diesel to run with the old diesel locomotives.

I am only going to use the assets from the CSX Hanover route and I will put it on the steam workshop so that everyone can enjoy it without having to download anything.

Some screen history of you show where you will ride.

Voila, that's all for the moment.

Goodbye

We love your work, Zawal, both big and small.

[AmericanSteam]

I am happy that you can't give up on the old gal. As Machine Rail proliferates on these pages maybe someone will start reskinning a bit of rolling stock.

Looks/sounds lovely

Hello.

I got to halfway through my little project.

With a speed between 15 and 25 miles an hour, it takes about 35 minutes to cover the road and its dangers!
Lots of small tight curves with the slope of course.

I don't know if the signage will be very "real" but hey, I do with the kuju assets since I don't want to use free assets to be able to up them on the workshop.

So here is a description of the route:

The depots allow small convoys of 12 wagons maximum, I think that is sufficient for steam engines.

In the two small towns there is enough to fill up with diesel, water and coal.

From Big Sky Country "(1st small town) there is a constant incline of 07 to 08%" to the top.

Before arriving at the top, you will pass on this pnt in full repair !! (15 mph max)

Then you will pass the old abandoned mine.

here is the top, where the coal mine is and its load of "coal" for freight.

Then we will descend on 8% to the village of the "last Chapel".

And finally here is the map.
You can see that there are two different routes after the summit to the small town of "The Last Chapel", so you can see other trains depending on your scenario!

Voila, you know everything about my next road.

Goodbye

Zawal.

Zawal,

Many, many thanks for your creations over the years. I have enjoyed them all; I shall continue to enjoy them.

Bonne chance!
