First, my apologies for the week delay in getting this build out the door. There were several things I really wanted to make certain were included and ready to roll in this build.... The route is contained in EIGHT files constituting some 148 MB of zipped files and should start appearing either Sunday or Monday.Please be sure to back up your existing version(s) before installing this version as this will over-write any existing route using the ATSFMAR directory name (rename your existing directory to "ATSFMAR05", etc. to preserve the previous build)!I would appreciate error reports being sent directly to me at jdbandman@earthlink.netBuild 0.7 will extend track east to Ft. Madison, complete trackage of the Kansas City Terminal lines, extend the N&W to Ustick tower and across the Missouri River to connect to the west bottoms KCT lines. Finally, Argentine Yard will be a major part of the track work to be done for 0.7.RELEASE NOTES:BUILD 0.6 IS NOT BACKWARD COMPATIBLE. Activities from previous builds will no longer function unless you edit them yourself. X-Tracks 3.7 is required.The route was processed and zipped using build 4.2.19 of RouteRiter.There are still some places in the route were roads are still "flying" and those will be corrected in Build 0.7 which is planned for release in about a month.There are four activities included however you will need much non-default equipment to run those activities (i.e. 3DTrains Super Chief set, Southern 3935 locos, and many other non-default items). If you do not wish to go to the extra trouble of downloading the required train files you can substitute your own consists using Activity Editor or simply build your own activities!It is my understanding that Kevin Arceneaux (Lone Wolf) is planning to generate activities for this route and I am eager to see what the Lone Wolf can do with this route! His activities will be a great addition to the ATSF Marceline/N&W Kansas City route!Thanks for all feedback or problems. Fastest response by direct email as I don't check the forums as much as I have been over the summer due to work and school obligations.Enjoy Build 0.6!!!JBD
