Hi everyone :)

I know the Iportal server isn't in the best of conditions, but I wanted to see how many people we could get together for a meet sometime in the next month. The reason I say that, is because I'm still working on my yard, and don't know when exactly It'l be done. I'll say what I was thinking though.

To make life somewhat easy on those who participate without a firstclass ticket, We could have a limit of 5 DLC locomotives. All rolling stock would have to be built in. All products shipped between us would be built in product, like general goods, oil, or grain or lumber. No LARS, even though it's awsome to have, it's hard because we would all have to spend a week downloading LARS cars. Wether or not we each pick a specific rail company would be decided once we are getting ready. But should we decide on individual companys, I dibs CN :P. My yard will be a fairly high capacity hump yard once complete, so I will probably sit myself in the middle of all the cars. I will have the ability to load most, if not all, built in products. However, I wouldn't be receiving any, as I won't use any of it.

Summary of ideas:
- 5 max DLC locomotives
- Only built in railcars
- Only built in products
- Possibly each an individual company
- Myself in the middle of everything

depending on how many people we get will help figure out how this will work. I can't garentee god-like speed on my end, because I always use cab-mod, which we all know takes more time than DCC.

Leave a reply if you like the idea, wish to attend, or have suggestions. Do not ask for a specific time yet please, I haven't figured one out yet.
 
haha, I'm up for it anytime, I just don't have an operational route to do it. I should be able to get it operational in a few days though.
 
Ya I got the message from you. We can try for either tomorrow or thursday. PM me with a list of the 5 engines you will be using, and I'll reply with my 5, then we should be good. However, there may be a delay on my end, I have a brand new computer only days from arriving, so I'm going to work as much as possible to get done what I can for my route on this one, then create a pointless topic on how I can make my route a CDP file, so I can install it on my new computer.
 
1= U.P. sd90 mac-h (weathered
2= U.P. sd90 mac-h (unweathered)
3= U.P. sd90 mac (weathered)
4= U.P. sd90 mac ( unweathered)
5= U.P. U.P. centinel/or U.P. big boy



your five


my route is not the one im working on, im just going to use maria pass
 
1 - CN Dash 9 #2522
2 - CN SD60F #5555
3 - CN SD40u #6024
4 - CN SD40 #5232
5 - CN GP9rm #7239 *This is a yard unit, it will rarley ever leave my route, however should we get a sizeable amount of people, it may be attached to a train for extra power.

Those are the 5 that I would most likely send outside my route. I have many others, however some require fuel, and I don't want them running dry on someone elses route.

Remember - All rolling stock is to be built in content.

All locomotives I use are avalible through trainzproroutes.com
 
ill go get those engines


do i need to get your yard engine, cause i have my own U.P. yard engine for my 2 major yards
 
I have more than just one yard engine. I listed that one because should I need the extra power, it will most likely be the one sent. It's on the same site as the others, I would recommend getting it just incase.
 
ok, it says it's for o4 though, not 06 trainz.



and my U.P coal treains i have coming through will have extra power, put a sd70
 
Trust me, it works in 06, I use it all the time.

Could you give me the exact name for these on the DLS? Theres alot of different SD70's.
 
so all those engines work in 06, then ill go get them right now,


im trying to fix up marias pass, like the second addition, i am almost done, after yhat im up for iportaling.
 
lol, I work in an hour.

I've got 3 pictures from my route that I feel like putting up though :)

2240 approches Sharps lane.

The route is going to be modeled roughly off the area I live in. My brother has already made a near precision layout of my area, and I am doing a rough one (As in, the city will have the same layout, but the outside area will be different). I have built about a kilometer past sharps lane, and begun the yard, and thats all I've got. I plan on adding in a humpyard somewere either before the city, or after it. However, I've halted all major expanding, since I have to pack this route up now and load it onto an external. It will be finished on my new computer, which should be here in a few days.

I will do some iportaling tomorrow, however I will be using a section of Marias Pass.
