Here is a progress thread to show updates and work on a collaborative Northeast Corridor project that me and a few others are working on.
For the past few months I've been working with a former member of TrainzProRoutes, Jeff Ritter (n5vav). He's the one who originally put together the Ts12 builtin NEC route, which went from Philly to Wilmington. You can still download it off the DLS. It shows its age but you can still run operations and have fun. There's plenty of uploads on the DLS but here's a random one I found just now. <kuid:352088:100001> NEC Wilmington - Philadelphia
The DEM actually extends all the way from Philly to Washington D.C., that TS12 route was just a demo. It never really came to fruition back then, but that doesn't matter because it's being developed now, for Trainz 19 and future versions. It's a big project. Jeff is a trackwork wizard and has done an excellent job of getting the entire NEC mainline and the majority of surrounding freight lines laid down. Quazqaseat from The Swtchback has put together a really lovely switcher for one of the shortlines in Baltimore! I've been chipping away at scenery bit by bit. We are nowhere close to being done. It's a huge project. But we're working diligently, as we wanna bring this route to the community. 99% of all content used (not including rolling stock) will be sourced from the DLS. Jeff has been on my a*s about it, lol.
We are hoping to release a small section of the route which includes Baltimore, and some of the surrounding areas at some point soon. I wanna share with you some screenshots of a few different areas. I'll be posting some more updates to this thread soon. My progress is painfully slow as I'm still a novice at route building.
All criticism and comments welcome. Help me!
