Hi! The one thing MS left out in train sim are some of the more famous routes. I would love to see a Sand Patch, Horseshoe Curve, or a Donner Pass done for train sim. If anyone knows if or where I could find routes like this, please let me know! Rob

Who is building Donner and Horseshoe?As for other famous routes, Tehachapi and Cajon are avalible at www.3dtrainstuff.com, the CSX Funnel, Raton Pass, and the old Sand Diego and Arizona can be found here, in the file librarys at train-sim.com.ChrisIt's not a game, it's a way of life.
Andre, I assume we are talking about Horse Shoe Curve near Altoona, Pa. I was there last spring and the trees had grown so tall, viewing was limited. They were starting a drive to collect funds to trim the trees and shrubs so a full view of the curve will be possible. when completed. The view from just inside the "toe" (that is the viewing area provided) of the horseshoe will be fantastic. I hope the route design will not include the offending trees and shrubs. It should be an awesome route and I, for one, am looking forward to d/ling it. Keep us posted. D. C. Morris
Guys:Just a clarification: I am working on none of the above. I was merely repeating what I had read here at these forums sometime over the past 3 months I've been a part of this.As for the Donner Pass route, the creator has posted pics of the DEM'ed route up around the summit. Things are looking really nice. I've seen no screens of the PRR Horseshoe route, only read posts. Hopefully the creators of these routes will step up and let you all know how things are progressing.Andre Ming
No need to clarify Andre, I was just interested in knowing who was working on them, thats all. Would love to see Donner!ChrisIt's not a game, it's a way of life.
