Hump yard

[yeti12364]

Looking for help to model a prototypical working hump yard. Working on reproducing UP's Hinkle operation in eastern Oregon (Umatilla). Any good flange retarders and other assets that can help?

Trainz ProRoutes has a full humpyard kit. You can find it on their download depot: http://www.trainzproroutes.com/downloads

Hope my advice helps!

I have a demo hump yard with retarders etc, who's it is i can't help as my 2006cm's acting up. So the stuff is out there.
It belongs to Caddylars, it's under lars at TPR as above post.

Thanks for the links. The NS yard is a close match, although not for TS2009/TS2010 native. Stuff on TPR seems to be mostly for TRS2006. Anyway to modernize them for TS2010 without a ton of pain?

Unfortunately , the script files are encrypted, so there is no way to upgrade them to 2010. However the Hump Tower and the version 1 retarders will work in 2010. The version 2 retarders were for use with the Database Controller, which allowed cars to be routed automatically (the cars could have predetermined assigned tracks) and they will not work in 2010. So, basically it will still work, just without the Database option, which I'll admit was pretty cool.
I found it better, if you don't even download the version 2 retarders. A few times having both installed seemed to screw up the version 1 retarders. Probably just a quirk, but as they don't work, I wouldn't even bother with them.
