I tell ya’ll MSTS is a GREAT WAY to “simulate the past” or the present!
I have been assisting on a Microsoft train simulator route project for over a year now, and with intense effort, we are starting to reach a very high level of detail working within the restraints of the program.
The route is the modern day {CIRCA 1996} Pocahontas Division of NS, the old Norfolk & Western mainline from Bluefield, West Virginia, to Williamson, West Virginia complete with MANY mine branches.
The link I have provided will take you to a home page about the route, I am still working on the homepage but it is mostly complete, {We where gona roll out the webpage to the general train sim community in about another month, so ya’ll are getting a pre-release peek, so to speak}
BTW Most of the changes will be in the screenshot section and heading, their will be major deletions and additions their, due too some new locomotives and cars that are just staggering in their quality that are just coming out.
Yes, I dearly love Colorado and New Mexico, narrow gauge, with a healthy dose of ET&WNC, but my hometown road was and always will be the Norfolk & Western, May she rest in piece.
Any Feedback will be welcomed!!
