Montana Rail Link MP V2 OP-Session's (This aint your daddy's circle burning)

[JIb228]

I would never put grass on top of track, unless its the end of a stub ended siding or a line that is never used. But as I said, just doing a little here and there. Take a look at how grass is on UMR and youll get what I am doing now. That screen shot was just me messing around after about an hour.

Session already up Jib? or somebody else doing hosting tonight. Oh by the way if its ok I might do some dispatching on the run tonight.

 

[Beattie]

Well sense I have no idea where Jib went off to I have the session hosted tonight

 

[JIb228]

Sorry guys. Lost track of the day of the week. Been working almost every day for 8 hours so far. Except for thusday where I woked 13.

 

[JIb228]

So MRL2.3 is very close to being done. When it is done Ill post a list on what I have changed. One snag that I have hit though, what industry should I put in Huntley? Down where Huntley Power is? I want to replace that but I have no idea with what.

Also, if any one has any suggestions, PLEASE post them now BEFORE 2.3 is released. I will try to include them if I can. Id like ideas for industries (With a name, product, any maybe a location), rolling stock, locomotives, etc.

For after MRL 2.3 Ill be moving on to two post MRL plans I have in mind. One has nothing to do with MRL, and the other dose.

 

[danny5]

Huntley should have a coal mine.

 

[Scottbe8]

First of all: "does", not "dose". The latter means a prescribed amount of a medicine.

Second, Huntley should have a Home Depot warehouse. Though in the real route, there's nothing of interest in Huntley.

I would love to send you the caboose I painted for the V&H but 1) I haven't heard back from the original author and 2) my main computer went paper weight on me the other day. It's so bad I had to send it out for the repairs as I've never come across this problem before.

 

[colourlight]

Why iss it som peoples feel the need to write a post critizing every typing or gramatical error?

 

[Beattie]

Well lets see if the Erie Alcos C425 that I uploaded are there in the next day or two request them to be put on 2.3 version route.

@ Beattie, Im putting them in and all over the place. One is going up in Great Falls, which Great Falls it self is getting a major rebuild. Its no longer a yard with nothing but now a another industrial area. Im going to set it up to complement Billings. Meaning, half of what Billings makes will go to GF, and half of what GF makes will go to Billings.

@ Danny, I thought about that, but had a better idea. I have set up the portal in Huntley to generate a random train ever 2 hours. The trains come in, drop off a cut of cars, then leave through the West Portal just on the other side of Helena. One of them is a coal train that will bring in a loaded coal train. And to help out, I have place plenty of loaded coal hoppers in Billings, to tide over crews there until a coal drag from Logan show up.

@ Scott, I thought about that. Some place to send lumber too. But as is, there is no place to get logs to make lumber. That's what I have put there. And yes, I know that the industries on my MRL are not what are on the real MRL. I am merely putting them in to give us more to do and make it more fun for us all.

MRL 2.3 still has a bit of work before its ready. Add to it that I currently am working all most every day, at my normal job or at my new internship. I have been hard pressed to get working on MRL. I know this is just a hobby, some thing to do for fun. But I REALLY would like to get MRL2.3 done so we could all have some fun on it.

BUT, in the mean time, I do have today, the 8th, off and so I will be hosting a session on MRL 2.2. Ill have it up shortly after posting this. Looking to the weather for Livingston MT today. It is partly cloudy, with a chance of thunder storms later this evening. And those will be the setting for the session. So if you don't like rain, hope it dose not rain in Montana.


Lastly, kind a off topic. But Shadow and I where talking about Rail Drivers a few weeks ago, and I bought up how mine is set up. Here's a pic: http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/bb166/Jib228/2012-06-08_11-14-59_736.jpg

Whar you are doing sounds great but it.s probably not a good idea tio have trains coming out of a portal in MP.

 

[JIb228]

Well see how well it works, if not then Ill remove it.

In other news, Ill repost the session in a few hours, when more people hop on the VTR Team Speak. VTR Info can be found here: http://www.vtr.herobo.com/index.html
