Greetings from Scott J. Whitney (a.k.a. ScottyW)!! I have been a Trainz user since version 1.0 and although I haven't been able to do as much with it as I would like, I continually strive for greater accuracy in route recreation. As it turns out, a completely separate (from Trainz) project I have been working on has blossomed into an out of control fountain of information. I am referring to my ever increasing database of prototype track and signal information in the northeastern United States.
This project started innocently enough when I was searching for grade and curve charts for just ONE rail line when the company I have worked for the past 33 years took over a new operation. That search landed me 98% of the Boston & Maine Railroad condensed profile charts and I immediately knew that these needed to be shared with the world. I created Track Charts Volume 1 (of course it really had no volume number since it was the only one) and released it to the public with just enough cost to cover creation and shipping expenses. Suddenly, more people stepped forward with even more data and I released updated disks (revisions) up until #9 when I ran out of room on a single CD. Keep in mind that a single CD can hold THOUSANDS of two-color GIF images (black & white). I then had to move on to new CD's and am now currently working on my SEVENTH and it occurred to me that I had never told the Trainz community about these!
So here it is, I have all of the following CD's and they are all the same price each, $10+$2 shipping in the USA ($3 to Canada) by mail. I can also offer direct download via Dropbox.com by request and accept PayPal for all. Here's the list, you will need to go to each page to see all the details, far too much to list here:
http://home.comcast.net/~nmro/products-charts.htm -- Volume 1, Rev.9: Northeastern Railroad Track Charts
http://home.comcast.net/~nmro/products-charts2.htm -- Volume 2, Rev.2: New Haven Railroad West - Land valuation Maps west of the Central Vermont Railroad.
http://home.comcast.net/~nmro/products-charts3.htm -- Volume 3: New Haven Railroad East - Land valuation Maps east of the Central Vermont Railroad.
http://home.comcast.net/~nmro/products-charts4.htm -- Volume 4: Delaware & Hudson Railroad - 99% of the D&H land valuation maps on ONE CD!!
http://home.comcast.net/~nmro/products-charts5.htm -- Volume 5: Delaware Lackawanna & Western Railroad - Land Valuation maps of the DL&W east of Binghamton, NY all the way to the Hudson River.
http://home.comcast.net/~nmro/products-charts6.htm -- Volume 6: Northeast Railroads Track Charts - Collections of several northeastern lines and includes condensed profiles, valuation maps and more.
The best way to describe the areas I have covered so far is to say all of New England and then into New York as far west as Fonda, NY and then south to Binghamton, NY, further south to Scranton, PA and then east to the coast again.
I'm currently working on Volume 7 and that will be all of the Erie Railroad land valuation maps east Binghamton, NY when completed. After that it's the rest of the Erie oall the way to Ohio!
If you wish, you can also see the rest of my photo collections on CD at: http://home.comcast.net/~nmro/products.htm
I am also fully open to making deals on multiple item orders to save money on postage and through discounts. I do stress that the data collections are done as a labor of love so that they can be had by everyone as cheaply as possible. We stress preservation through distribution. The more people that have this data, the safer its future is for all to enjoy! Do you have good data to share?
