Moffat Tunnel and Union Station

[MicroLynkx]

Hello all!

I am working on a version of the DRGW and looking for a good model of Denver Union Station, and of the Moffat Tunnel. Can anyone out there help me with this?

Regards,
Billy

I made the Denver Union station (kuid2:210518:1064:1) from a photo taken around 1885. Its pretty large. It has no trackage and isn't passenger enabled tho. Its in 2004 format but should go into newer versions with little to no problems.

I just did a DLS search for Moffat Tunnel under description and turned up the east and west portals (very nicely done too I might add). They are also in 2004 format.

Well, TrainzItalia's West From Denver has both, along with Coors Field and many of the LoDo buildings. On the other hand, if you get the route from them you pretty well don't actually need to finish yours; theirs is quite complete. I've even got it running in 2012.

Trestle Man, I have looked on DLS and google and cannot find your Union Station (kuid2:210518:1064:1). could you offer some more advice?

Make sure you have the TRS2004 box checked, and paste this is the search kuid2:210518:1064:1 and select the kuid box. It pulled it right up for me.

I followed your advice and I have found the station. I love it! thanks so much.

You see, I am not just modelling the Moffat route, but most of the rails in Colorado. I am combining all the lines in an idealistic line called the Rio Grande & Pacific. I am looking into histories and old trackage rights, and resurrecting the ones that are feasible to include. It is a daunting task to be sure! but I am having a lot of fun learning history, engineering, and some of the difficulties in just laying the track as close to the maps as possible. I currently have track laid from Castle Rock, CO, to Denver; the full UP yard with Container loading; track to MillerCoors and Golden; and from Utah Junction just north of the Purina plant to Winter Park, CO.

Again, I wanted to thank you for your station. You will be mentioned in my credits, for sure.

Regards,

Billy.

I like the old Union Station but it's been replaced by a newer building after a fire took it out.

I didn't find Denver Union Station on the DLS even with the 2004 box checked. But, Colorado71 (CO71) recently released several version of Denver Union Station for different time periods (1881, 1892, 1895, 1914, 1958, 1987). They are each in two sizes, a large one and a smaller scaled one.

I think they work in versions at least through TS12, not sure about TANE. My experience with his site is that you have to cut through a lot of crap (pop-ups saying you need to run this or that) to get to them. If this happens just cancel out of all that and you will get to the download links.

Colorado71's website appears to still be hacked. If I click on any of the download links I get a bogus screen that says I need to update Flash Player. Since I got the same "warning" in both IE 11 and Edge, and Flash functionality is built into Win 10, I damn well know I don't need a Flash "update" on this machine. The only way to get out of this is to open Task Manager and kill the primary browser process to shut down IE completely. Whatever is doing this it restarts new IE processes as quickly as I can shut them down. As an experiment, I tried accessing his download links on my Win 7 machine. First I made sure I had the most recent Flash player installed. Got the same issue there.

At this point I wouldn't even attempt to download anything from his site until this is fixed.


Update:
Interestingly, I just tried to download again and the MediaFire download page came up. Downloaded the first three versions, but when I tried to download the fourth I got the Captcha verification screen, with no visible Caotcha code, and an error message that tells me to try to reload the page. Can't get past that to download the remaining versions.

I'm running Win 7 also. I got all the stuff nfitzsimmons was getting but I was able to kill it and get to the DL links without using TM to kill it. This has been an ongoing issue for months and I've DL a number of things over that time. My anti-virus has not complained or blocked anything so I'm not sure what is going on here. Anyhow, do not DL or install or start anything based to the pop-ups or messages you get.

I will add that these pop-ups tend to hide more nefarious actions underneath in many cases. While you are busy trying to find what you are at the website for, these things are downloading Trojan horses or other malware. So do as above and don't do anything on that website until the problem is resolved.
