With the scene and makeup of the route in 1946 just months after the conclusion of World War 2 and also going into the late 1940s just before diesels were introduced in June 1950 on passenger operations. You'll see plenty of Northern 4-8-4s in passenger service and freight service. They'll also be Bruceville 2-8-4s for passenger and freight duties as they were called the 4-8-4s 'wingmen' and great complimentary engines to the Northern 4-8-4. Other steam power on the line will include Pacific 4-6-2s, 2-8-2s, 4-8-2s, 2-10-4s, mallet articulated locos and many more. The activities will close out with diesel power subbing in for steam on passenger and freight runs in late December 1949. You'll get plenty of REAL action and enjoy the fun for a long time to come!

As for the Iguodala Metro, I'm contemplating on it. It's been rough on me and I've had a lot of distractions recently and I've had thoughts of quitting altogether. I don't know I'll see, but thanks for understanding.

If I posted a thread that I might be going to create a route called the "Horseshoe Curve" ... and posted just a few screenshots of an incomplete route ... few would be commenting.

Keep up the creating part and keep us informed on your progress ... and you also will hone your routebuilding and tracklaying skills by practicing.

I like to create my route in TRS2006 ... and transfer the finished route into a higher version of Trainz for testing and running.

To be fair, you have not given much to comment on really have you.

Kris,

We're trying to be helpful here. I know you're a sensitive lad, so don't take this in the wrong way. I hope.

You seem to post part of your thoughts quite often, which will get you very few responses. By posting parts, you seem to assume we know what you're talking about. This is like walking into an auditorium, or classroom and randomly saying something. To you it maybe clear, but to the rest of the audience, they'll think you're a bit nutty and give you the WTF look. ???? Huh, okay, whatever, and then ignore you.

Sadly this will happen in the forums too where people are thousands of miles away from each other, besides computers today don't have telepathic connections. This might be possible in the future where people can think what they want to say, and everyone connected to their network will understand what is being thought. (That could be dangerous too, but that's another topic!).

So, if you could give us a little bit more to comment on it would be helpful. This is particularly very important when there are 100,000 of posts, and and posts disappear of the 1st page quite quickly like they do here on the Trainz forums.

Is this the route that you started a few weeks ago? Is this a continuance of the same story/history? Now remember, not all of us remember what you posted. I happen to vaguely remember details, but that happens to be me. There are also a lot of new people here who could be helpful, but have no clue what you're trying to say, so your post will be ignored.

Having said this, try putting in an introduction. Even a few sentences to get our bearings. In the working world, in particular in high-tech, this is called an "executive summary". Meaning when you present a project to the big wigs in the company, you give them just enough information to keep them interested without a lot of details. This is then followed by the details later on. The ES is usually proceeded, by the way, by a brief introduction of a few sentences or so.

I hope you'll also find what I've said here is helpful for you while in school. This will help your English papers you need to type for high school and college, and will work for you much later as you "grow into the working world".

Feel free to PM me if you want help with this. I was an A+ English student.

John, you're so nice!

Kris, stop being a ninny! The comments are over on your other post where the pictures are!
You should have combined the threads so your back story is with your route screens.

I try to be nice, Ed and in particular with Kris. I see a lot of potential in him, but he needs help too. It's funny how you can "read" that in forum posts.

I'll check out is screenies.

Well I'm sorry if the way I express myself offends you. I'm a person that's says what's on my mind, whenever, wherever, and however I want. I shouldn't have to say sorry or appease to anyone just because of who I am. I'm tired of rolling over and just kissing up to people on these forums. No more!! So I speak the truth and nothing but the truth and I mean what I say and I say what I mean.

 

[leeferr]

What? If you'll go back and read your first post, you'll see that you've provided no information to comment on. If it's in reference to another thread, a reference would be handy, or even better yet, just post it in that thread instead of starting a new one. I'm really lost in wat you're talking about in the first post of this thread. Don't be so sensitive. We're willing to comment and help, but it's a two-way street.

Kris,

No one is taking offence to what you have posted.

You are who you are, and we all agree. I am very glad you're not a clone and don't try to be like anyone else. You will go very far when you are older being like this.

Anyway. It was your post was a bit on the vague side as though you thought you posted everything, but only typed part of it. As Mike says, and I even said in so many more words as usual, if you had referred back to an earlier post or put in a link, that would have made things a lot easier for all of us to understand.

Again if you need help with writing, please pm me. I was an A+ English student all through high school and college, and I am more than willing to help you.

It's a brief description of the route and what I plan to have come with it. The history will come at a later date. I just assumed you people would know but I guess not. That's why I was saying what I said.

Kris, I live in a different country entirely, and I haven't the faintest idea what your OP is about. Remember this is an international forum so it's not good to assume anything about your audience.

Don't ever get married Kris.

 

[Kris94]

Don't ever get married Kris.

I never wanted too.

 

[JCitron]

I never wanted too.

We say that when we're young...Smart man...

But I was smart and never did. My Nana used to say "When your single, your pockets jingle". Then she'd laugh afterwards. At 18 and 20 I didn't understand, but I do now. I was happily dating a nice lady a couple of years ago. The time we were together was spent, spending my money, and everything had to be her way no matter what I suggested. We didn't break up, per say, I just became really busy with many changes in my life, and had to stop our relationship. She also lived 75 miles (one way) from me, so seeing her on a whim was quite difficult.

You're young, Kris and you have a whole life ahead of you. Enjoy it while you can. Experience and do what you want while you can. Go to college and get the best grades you can.

Take this from an old fart who learned the hard way about not pursuing a life's dream, but did what was supposed to be right instead. I have my regrets now, but it's too late to turn back the clock and start over.

Yes and experiencing all the hell in family due to the marriage makes all the more reason to avoid it.
