    TransportSims: an MPS route manager and meta game

    I am opening up TransportSims.com for beta testing, so everyone is invited to join and test out the platform.

    MPS: locomotives for guest users

    I have placed several locomotives specifically for guests to use to putter around the route. It would be helpful if anyone can try it out, since I can't test it as a guest, being the route owner. The route is: TransportSims: BSMRR trainz://invite/kuid:678456:348

    I am looking for a team to join for the Buildathon

    If there is a team that is open to a new member, I would like to help out in the Buildathon. I make no claims to special skills, but I think I can be helpful in some way -- you can send me into the far corners of the route to plant some trees. If you visit TransportSims.com (...

    Thank you for the MPS Content routes

    The two routes that you have created, "New MPS Content" and "More MPS Content" are very helpful to actually see the available content. Is it possible to submit requests for certain content? For example, there is only one "asphalt" texture that is currently available, and there are a few others...

    Has anyone created a puzzle route?

    Has anyone created a route purely as a puzzle? Perhaps something like a massive yard set up like a maze where you have to set the switches just right to get from one end to the other.
