Just because someone has a model finished that is also at the IRM doens't make it that they made it for your route..

Actually he is making it for my route, Ive been working with him on that by sending him a lot of drawings, reference photos, and other information he needs to make the model. We did this all thru Skype. Plus to answer your earlier question, yes I will welcome anyone who wants to contribute to my project, contact me thru PM and we can work something out.

Plus sorry for the lack of updates, been very busy working with Bendorsey on scenery projects and also working with Steve Lerro since he was helping me to set up a Facebook page for my project, I just created it right now actually but it still needs work but here is the link for it. https://www.facebook.com/IRM-for-Trainz-1659535201006056/

Plus I would also like to add, just because I'm doing most of the posting of progress towards my project, does not mean nobody is interested, Ive been getting a lot of good public support towards my project from the museum volunteers after I started posting screenshots of the route on Facebook, Ive also being working with a lot of content creators privately (and some of them prefer if I do the posting for their updates for them). Plus I still prefer this to be a open community project over a "I create everything" because I'd said it before and I will say it again, Ive tried to make content before but Ive found it to be too stressful and confusing to understand and it was taking my enjoyment of trainz away from me. So thats why Im happy as route builder and so far my approach to offer anyone to get involved is working.

I will have more progress shots to come later this week after I get my Facebook page all set and done.

Let it be known that I have publicly announced that this 2900 model was originally conceived as something that could be contributed to the IRM project. This is still the case, although it has expanded to include the entire 2900 class and also (likely) the 3776 class which was identical in everything but materials. I originally didn't feel a post like this was necessary, I had assumed people would realize that it was meant for this project when Matt said that it was. But if there is any doubt feel free to PM me and I'll say it to you one on one, this is a locomotive directly related to the IRM project.

Thanks for sorting that out Ben. Now my apologies for the lack of a update these past few days, my job has been pretty demanding over the past few days and other personal stuff going on at home, Plus with my advent of my new Facebook page, I have to manage two places to update my project. Now while I've haven't done anything to the route over the past few days because of this, I have been working with my team of content creators (Im still accepting them so if you want to contribute please contact me), over things, Bendorsey and I have a few surprises coming soon to you for the DLS, Ive been talking to the guys at JR who are involved with we on certain upcoming projects and commissions, Ive been working on providing PWieser on trying to help gain more info on certain items we have planned, and to top it all off, I working with Steve Lerro on helping getting my Facebook page going with some custom artwork he is going to do for me when he has spare time. So progress is getting done, just not with the route at the moment. Thats all for now.
 
Guess who's back in the game... :D (questions... Please PM me personally)

You can find that engine with Trainboi1's new CB&Q version of the "Expo Flyer" over at Trainz Forge. (Note Its Payware).

Thanks, I gladly you appreciate what me and other have done for this project unlike some people. I will try to make some more progress on the route tomorrow so stay tuned. :)
 
Good morning everyone. I received a great gift from Steve Lerro it is for my IRM Project Facebook page Profile icon, Steve Lerro did a fantastic job on it and he looks forwards to working with me on future commissions (when spots are open) for this project in the future so Thanks Steve Lerro for this amazing gift.

I got it purchased the only thing I'm missing in the CDP other than a few assets pieces, that needed to be downloaded from DLS is these "reversed Bogeys"

I pasted what they are called for in the Config.txt file I opened to find out what the number was referred too.

bogeys
{
0
{
reversed 0
bogey <kuid:648132:99965>
}

1
{
reversed 0
bogey <kuid:648132:99965>
}

I'm trying to find them and if I can't I'll contact Trainboi1 and see if he knows where I can find them?

Unfortunately all the passenger cars are effected by same Bogey.........

 
That indeed is fantastic news , they make addition to any consist or yard , but really fit well on route . Looking good Matt ..

Hey Matt, it Jake. We're friends on Facebook and you saw me at the IRM on the last Showcase Weekend. I have been wanting to make a TS12 version of the IRM Route for some time and now that there's some assets on the DLS I could do so. I am in no way "competing" against you, but rather inspired to do it myself. I've had this idea since 2013, but never actually got very far after multiple attempts. Just wondering, it BlackDiamons1964's content still available. I'd love to use it to make my own rendition in TS12. I also have T:ANE now, so is there anything I can do to also help you out? I've been to the IRM many times and I must say everything looks perfect so far! Keep up the great work!

Could you send me the pack?I could not find their payware page
 
Jackson is right about that, Im not allowed to pass out this model since its payware so you will have to purchase it from Trainz Forge and Trainboi1 will have to help you with this. Also included in the pack are two passenger cars that are also in the IRM collection and they are...

CB&Q RPO #1923

and Pullman Observation Car "Mt. Harvard"

Well that is just crap to make a payware pack with stuff like that
Click to expand...
I actually disagree, Trainboi1 has come a long way since first piece of content, the quality of his content got good with each release and now his stuff has gotten so good I think its right for him to start making payware packs, plus they are only about $16 dollars so its a good price. Plus its up to him to decide on what he wants to be Payware and Freeware and I respect that.
