RGS new version

[landnrailroader]

Colleagues,

A new version of the RGS, based on the original version done for MSTS years ago, but
with a lot of new material - I could not find much from the old route, is available on
the ElvasTower site. To download it, you need a free membership in ElvasTower and
a free membership in "DropBox". The download is three very large zip files and the
result is a complete install. The "readme" says it is a strictly ORTS route and I can
believe it. One of the activities provided opens up in the Ridgway, CO engine terminal
area and having worked with steam locomotives (SR-4501) in my younger days, and
having spent a lot of time near the C&TS engine terminal (I'll be a volunteer there
2 weeks, this July) the feel and vision were as real as it gets. It appears that the
track has been completely redone. Dynatrax is used so I imagine many of the kinks
found in the original route have been eliminated. For example, around steam loco.
servicing areas, little piles of sand are often found beside the track - residue from
the sanders on the locomotive -- they are there in this engine terminal.

Just put the route in the directory of your choice, add content to ORTS, and have
at it. It works "right out of the box".

One note, it does need to reside in a stand alone Mini-Route. Much of the track structure and the turntables will not be functional if not done that way.

Thanks for the kind words JH.

As of 3-20-20 the route is available here as well with no DropBox account required. ;o)
