East Broad Top Route

Yes ... Yes, I am ... it helps to be that way ... in Trainz ... and is good therapy ... Definition of insanity: "Doing the same things over and over, expecting different results each time".

The Turntable: http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc339/cascaderailroad/Screen_004Colored_zps83449872.jpg

I placed those tracks so as to show how many degrees that I wanted to achive, as the track with the red "X" through it, 2 tracks upward, it's angle is way off, and I wish I could add a track where the upper red arrow is, but the tuntable won't recognise the top track ... and derails.

There is a dead end track that has always bothered me ... and I found that it was at one time connected to the Orbisonia station No1 track, so I moved the carshop over 1 track width, and put the through track back in service as it was, in the 1920's, before the new carshop was constucted.

I also moved the trolly buildings and track backwards into the wye, as when they built that facility, they tore out one of the wye inner connecting tracks.

Like it or not ... That's the way it stays !

Hmmm.

As far as I'm concerned you can delete the trolley barn and shop completely and put the coal trestle back in that was in that location during common carrier days.

As for the movement of the Car Shop, I don't care for that. One of the most endearing things about the EBT is it's idiosynchrocies like what was done with track 1. The car shop was not new in the 1920s. Is is the original building from the 1880's but they added onto the length twice and added on to the east to cover a third track. When they added the track, track 1 could not make the turn into the south end of the building so they dead-ended it and put a switch off track 0 into the track 1 doors.

Overall I am very impressed with what you have accomplished. Looks like it will be excellent when it is finished.

A couple notes in Rockhill. The coach track is the track that connects the turntable lead to track 1. The spur that comes off that track does not go into the main shops. The first shop building the spur passes (the Electrical/Brake Shop) has a small lean-to on the west side that the spur goes into and terminates. That is where the M-3 lives. The track did not go any further than that. Second, the north leads into the Car Shop are in their tourist ear configuration. During the common carrier era, track 1 terminated beside the Foundry and track 0 split and went into both the track 1 and track 0 doors. This was so that all cars assembled are rebuilt in the Car Shop were routed out over the Rockhill scale, which was on track 0 near the Electrical Shop. The stub of track 1 was used for storing passenger cars and cabooses. The stub of track 1 on the south end was used to store MOW equipment and other seldom used equipment.

Although the mainline which is No2 track (and the No 1 track being the Orbisonia station track), both No1 #1 & 2 track go completely through the yard, on my route, even though the the No1 track is presently severed at the carshop (because it intefered with the car shops larger construction) I will not represent this abortion, on my route ! PERIOD !

I am modeling the era 1850 to 1900 only, not his raped, screwed up era 1950, nor the raped screwed up present era of the day trackage, where tracks were removed, and severed !

If the track was there at one time or another ... it will be replicated as it was in the wayback dayz !

I like trolleys ... That is why the modern Trolley facility will remain in place on my route !

Also if anyone resents that the trolley barns and what trackage I chose to represent, as NOT to being included (and with the 1890's trackage) I will gladly "PULL" the route from release !

This is my route ... if you object to any of my revisions ... you will get NOTHING !

No if, and's, or butts !

I have spent many a hard long hours reseaching this route ... and I will not be told which abortion track has been replacing the original trackage !

How rude. I was trying to help you out thinking you wanted the route to be accurate, but apparently not. If this is the thanks I get, I regret trying. I don't even have a copy of Trainz so it's does not affect me at all if you don't release it. I will just leave you with the fact that the structures and track layout in the yard in the pre-1900 era were dramatically different than what you have drawn, but I doubt you want to hear that either. Do what you want.
 
to cascaderailroad and bendorsey,
due to my current circumstance with my living arrangements having moved back in with my parents they have stripped me of my computer in typical parent fashion, due to this i can no longer be the middle man in our east broad top project and how long i will be gone has not yet been determined, ben anything you have sent me over the past two days i would like you to email to cascade......and damn it cascade please check your email you'll need to now, i wish you the best of luck on our dream in the upcoming months and i hope that in time i will be able to return to "active service" in the near future, hopefully i will return in time to see it completed,
best of luck,
bigboy4014

Welcome to the Broad Top Gang Matt, hope you enjoy being able to work with us and help test our route. I have been in this project since the day it started, If you find any issues please let cascade know, I'm actually happy you joined our gang as i recently was forced to take a step back from the project temporarily And take a look at my personal life....now if cascade could hurry with the damn taxes You would have something to test.. Cause at this point the line is perfect
 
Priorities come first ... Trainz comes last ... Down bigboy4014 ... Patience grasshopper ... for posting 3 redundant posts, right on top of each other, the penalty for you is, that you edit those 3 posts (advanced edit), and edit in 10 screenshots in each post :hehe:

It's hard to get excited, when the EBT looks like this today ... shut down for the 2nd year in a row :'(

fyi my group the east broad top gang is up on the forums for those who want to join ben i sent you an invite please accept it will be a great place for you to post your wonderful ebt building photos and im going to put in a discussion for people to request buildings for you to build
 
Indeed it is a shame unless one of us wins the lottery all we can do is pray that kovalchick will realize he is expecting to much from those that want to lease the line and operate it and Back down on his Restrictions such as he doesnt want the trackage extended at All Which is what many leasers wsnt to do, and i did read that,at least obe leaser wanted to start work on Restoring as far south as saltillo and North ro shirleysburg, and kovalchick Said no
