I just wanted to thank driver2026 for this simple layout that FINALLY let me just jump in, create a consist, and run it around the track without having to get a degree in Railroad Simulation! I only thought a couple of weeks ago to even look for a 'model' train sim. I first found Rule the Rail, which scratched the itch a bit, I loved how I could snag a bunch of layouts and just watch the trains go round and round on various tracks, zooming in & out to look at all the cool stuff in each layout. But Grandpa was an Engineer on the B&O for 36 years, and I really wanted a B&O consist. Steam, thank you, the way it was meant to be. So I looked again and found TMR17, and bought it. The level of detail is stunning and beautiful, way beyond Rule the Rail. But everything I try, I get stopped for red lights I can't change, stuck at draw bridges I can't control, etc., etc. This nice and simple route finally let me just enjoy TMR17 for the first time.
Now I can learn more, maybe populate this layout, learn how to do all the other stuff. But for just a danged minute, I wanted to have fun and just watch the train go. And today I got to! So thank you, driver2026!!
I'm talking about this route, specifically:
