Here's a little route I've been working on for the last couple days. I liked the idea of a completely fictional freelance museum or excursion route for a couple of reasons:
- I can use any rolling stock or locomotives except newer stuff which would still be in use currently.
- Road names don't matter anymore. I can use power and rolling stock from any railroad and it will still "make sense"
- Plenty of switching operations with some imagination. I envision demo day where we'll use EMD demonstrators for excursions and park them for photo shoots. Or maybe Alco day or covered wagon day.
The big downside: All these engines running ALL the time.. I know its been asked here but even if i had some workaround/hack to silence the ones i'm not using it would be a step in the right direction. I have one GP38-2 from HP trains which has custom scripting to allow startup/shutdown but i have no idea if or how you could retro fit that to my other existing locomotives.
