RE: Florida Funnel and Full Bucket Packs

I've been out of the Route Design mode (and mostly out of MSTS mode) for the last six months or so, but the news of the folder issue being resolved has me a little interested again. I replaced my Funnel folder (which had a somewhat expanded but incomplete route that I really wasn't going to finish) with a US3 folder containing the uploaded Funnel with the signal enhancements and am now working on an activity modeled after one I did for myself a few months back on the expanded route. If everything works right, you will run WX to Baldwin with meets at every single track siding. Since my Trainset folder is a mess and I wouldn't know how to describe any custom equipment, I am planning on using all MSTS default stuff and giving users the option to change the consists however they want. Do you all think that would be of interest?Kent

RE: Florida Funnel and Full Bucket Packs

The Florida Funnell has a strong following even though it is not a "complete" route. If you go and look at the downloads of the activities on the route you will find lots of folks downloaded activities on the route. I would love to see the route extendended so you can run to Baldiwin from the other side and maybe the NS towards Valdosta would be cool too. BobFlorida Railfan Page

Yep, the Funnell is one of my favorite main-line running routes, in a close competition with the Conrail Indy route. I've downloaded every activity that has come out for both and have been quite pleased, including Bob's latest offering. Regards,

RE: Florida Funnel and Full Bucket Packs PROBLEMS?

Has anyone had any problems with the FF pack? Got a report that someone had trouble with the WAG file of the coal car. So far only one report but I like to keep folks happy. Any other reports and solutions appreciated...I noticed one minor mess up is that in Waycross you start at 65, should not be that fast... sorry about that. BobFlorida Railfan Page

The coal car you specified in the readme, and the actual car used in the activity were different. You specified csx_coal.zip and the proper car to download is csxcoal.zip. I had those found in csxcoal.zip so wasn't faced with any errors, but I was expecting others to. Sorry I forgot to mention it before.Regards,
