    BVE: A route question

    I am looking for a pair of routes. One for BVE and one or MSTS. Idealy they would be the same route, but if not, then similar. As part of the suggestion, also suggest a drivable train.
    The reason? I finally have a box that will run both sims well and I would like to compare the two sims in the areas the both do. I know that they both do different things and each has its strong and weak points, but I want to see what they look like side by side ( or one after the other).
    What started this was a download of the MSTS NEC V 4 route. It has a short section of the Washington Metro in it. It is the orange line. I have a Red line metro for BVE, but it is a work in progress. I would like to run two finished routes with finished locomotives.
    Any suggestions?

    The Tokyo-Hakone route is available for BVE somewhere...

      Does anyone know where the Tokyo-Hakone line is and is there a series 200/700 to go with it?

        I don't think it was a series 2000 or 7000 or even a 3000. It was some other train, which was not represented by MSTS.

          Isn't the TGV and Kiha 31 in both sims. Either would work nicely

              Sorry, my mistake, the BVE KIHA is a type 40, not 31. I forgot where I found it, but there is a site with a whole range of locomotives from Japan

                I have my test train. There is a Class 43 HST in both MSTS and BVE. They use the same cab. ( with permission) and the sounds are similar if not identical. I assumn the performance is the same.
                Now to find a route. Still searching for Tokyo-Hakone for BVE. Thank you for the input so far.

                  Actually, the Edinborough-Fife route for MSTS and then the Edinborough-Aberdeen route's will be a good comparison.

                    There is a Kiha 40 available for MSTS which includes it's own cab which is available at the file library here.
