I have to admit Dermmy's East Kentucky (3) Route is one of my favourites. The version I have is the 'No SpeedTrees' version. Although quite nice in appearance, cardboard trees, no matter how well done, just don't look right. As for bright green in winter when most should be leafless, just nags at me both as a train nut, and horticulturist! So I've finally decided to do something about it. I have so much spare time between making routes and sessions = I must be crazy. :hehe:
So, I've updated the very old track to LRW Track, Wood, Bullhead, Brown Ballast, which is build 4.2. Changed Yarn roads to Yarnish, updating crossing and removing funny hidden white lines causing cars to cross the roads at 90 degrees.... Oh, and replaced all trees with species that actually grow in Kentucky, and seasonal at that. Moved some roads to the correct side of the track or river, having looked at street view for some ideas. Now for the question.
Not wishing to tread on Dermmy's wishes, and noting this version was made by someone else (?), I read what seems to have been his last post, so I quote....

My take on this is, you may host/share modified routes provided you don't make them payware. In other words they must be free. Does anyone agree, or disagree? I ask, because I have no interest in making a route just for myself, if I make, or modify one, I'd want to put it on the DLS so everyone can enjoy it.
Apart from that, I am seeing an odd issue, possible graphics related, with the track. I have had 2 instances where a mysterious straight section of sleepers ONLY, shoots out from a spline point. Eventually by moving and adding, then deleting extra spline points gets rid of it. A DBR had no effect, see picture below!!!
