Hi!After a number of false starts, I'm developing my definitive first route: the South Troy Traction (STT). It's a free-lanced traction line long about 5 or 6 miles based in South Troy, a small city where there is the STT car barn and seven industries: South Troy Lumber, Peabody Paints, ALG Cement, Ye Olde Brewery, Farmers Co-op, ACME Cannery and a junk yard. Two of them (South Try Lumber and Peabody Paints) are close to the passenger station in South Troy downtown, the others are served by a spur (7th Street Spur) that branches off the main line from 7th Street Jct. This spur has also a small yard called Wanamaker Yard. Next location is Yuki Siding: it's a simple passing siding lost in the middle of the Longwood State Park. Then there is Longwood Gardens, a small village home of the STT substation, as well of Longwood Grain Elevator and Bauer's Creamery. Next town is Cross Plains where the STT interchange with a mainline railroad. There is a second freight yard as well a spur leading to Midwest Printing. The line continues to Meuthen Lake, just a hotel with a beautiful view of the lake; between Cross Plains and Meuthen Lake there is only a passenger service. Reversing wye are at South Troy car barn, Cross Plains and Meuthen Lake.
At present the track is totally laid and the scenery is mostly completed between Cross Plains and Yuki Siding. Rolling stock will include repainted Mesaba #10 created by Matt Austin, as well a box motor and a steeple cab both by Tim Muir.I include some screenshot of the route.
1) Cross Plains
2) Hill Road stop, just south of Cross Plains
3) Longwood Gardens
