Feb-08-02, 11:39 PM (EST) "D&RGW Narrow Gauge Virtual Railroads Needed!" When I saw Fozzy's K-36 after getting back from a funeral in Pueblo Colorado. I realized that we need a sutibile place to run them. Now I know that there was the C&TSVRR, but it seems that that has dropped of the face of the earth. But we still need a realistic setting for the majestic locomotives. Anyone else want this??

Feb-09-02, 00:03 AM (EST) 6. "RE: D&RGW Narrow Gauge Virtual Railroads Needed!" Sorry just got back from another site.
Well I dont know how the K's will look on the rails. But if someone does do the Alamosa to Chama route. Three rails will be needed on the Alamosa-Anitnitio track.

>Yeah! the X-Tracks add on does have proper 3' Gauge track in it. What I've done with the K-36 is to gauge widen it. It's such a wide loco that the only thing I had to do was move the wheels outward between the frames... There was enough room to make it fit MSTS track without changing the actual width of the loco.If somebody produces a proper route I'll release a second version with a new wheel set... No difficulty doing that at all.Best Regards,

Feb-09-02, 02:00 AM (EST) 8. "RE: D&RGW Narrow Gauge Virtual Railroads Needed!" I think it would be kool to run on real narrow gauge route. "If you build it they will come". I'll be there too!

Feb-09-02, 09:26 AM (EST) 10. "RE: D&RGW Narrow Gauge Virtual Railroads Needed!" All right guys I'll come clean. Now that I'm kinda getting this route editor figured out, I'm in the planning stages of putting together the Rio grande Southern route. I'd like to do the whole 168 miles from Ridgeway to Durango, but I'll have to see how well I do at this first. How would I go about getting the DEM data for this area? This would be my first route, so no promises, at least not until I see if I can do this.Grizzly

Feb-09-02, 09:38 AM (EST) 11. "RE: D&RGW Narrow Gauge Virtual Railroads Needed!" You go ahead and take a shot at it. I am going to talk to one of the route desingers to see if they will do it. Thanks, ADAM14 year old wonder kid Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Feb-09-02, 10:21 AM (EST) 12. "RE: D&RGW Narrow Gauge Virtual Railroads Needed!" Julian,E-mail me offline and I'll see what I can do to help. I'm quite familiar with that area, am a Colorado narrow gauge fanatic, and live 25 miles from the Colorado Railroad Museum. (And 10 miles from Caboose Hobbies, one of the best model railroad stores in the world, in my opinion.)Nick

Feb-09-02, 10:18 PM (EST) 14. "RE: D&RGW Narrow Gauge Virtual Railroads Needed!" Well I think we need to go to plan B. I tryied talking to some route desingers but they are not going to be any help at all. Someone needs to get the book or program I don't know which one it is and learn how to build a route. If anyone else trys to talk to a route desinger APPROACH WITH EXTREME CAUTION!!!!!!!!

>Thanks, ADAM Grizzly Bear is building a route Adam! Don't panic!! He's on the case, or at least his last post said so. If he's doing it with X-Tracks then we'll have proper 3'gauge track and I'll swap the wheel sets out on the K-36 and release a second version. Best Regards,
