RE: How to decide?

If I see a route that looks interesting, I d/l it, then look for activities for it, then look for the stock for the activities.Or if I see an item of stock that looks good, then I'll work in reverse.Or ...Lots of different ways!

RE: How to decide?

After a short time of downloading everything that looked interesting, I finally settled in on the Hill Lines (GN, NP, CBQ, SPS, etc) ca 1960's. The things I d/l now are things that I would expect to see in that time and place.Brad Meyer

CN, GO, VIA -> Automatic download (unless it's of poor quality or closely duplicates something I already have).CP or other Canadian -> Most likely a download, with the same exceptions as above.
American roads -> If it looks really good, or grabs my interest for a particular reason, I'll download it.
