>The big advantage of TRAINZ over MSTS is the ability to make >loops.Only if your trying to recreate a model railroad where everything is just a big oval, (two laps of the Lionel makes a trip)!!As noted there are many instances of balloon tracks in existing MSTS routes. Cajon Pass, Marias Pass 3.1, Seaview and Ohio Rails are just a few that pop into my head.
<<many real railroads have loops in them.>>And I have been able to model 3 different loops on my Baltimore Sub CSX route in MSTS1. Here are Curtis Bay, Locust Point, and Canton with no problem.
