      What payware Horseshoe Curve? There's only PRR East which has HSC as one part (Set in the 1950s), and the dedicated Austin Yoder route (Mid to late 2000s.). Both are considered some of the best routes, though the Austin Yoder version looks better in my opinion.

      Both are in the Train-Sim file library.

        Freeware in file library, buddy.


        MSTS Norfolk Southern "Horseshoe Curve" Route. This route is an accurate representation of the modern era Norfolk Southern line from Altoona, PA to Johnstown, PA. From the last days of Conrail to the modern Norfolk Southern era, this route encompasses well known locations such as the famous Horseshoe Curve, and East and West Slopes. This route does not require any additional downloads, although this route requires a high end computer system. A route by Blue Ridge Rails (Austin Yoder) with custom objects by Vincent Lanza.

          It's in the TS library....
          A route by Blue Ridge Rails (Austin Yoder) with custom objects by Vincent Lanza.
          Search using either one of those names.

          The route comes in one large download or several smaller...afaik...both are the same. If you want to upgrade to DB tracks make sure to download this file >>> hc-2-db3.zip

          There are many activities in the library, also a track diagram, and over at SkylineComputing a set of activity templates.


          Sad to say, the SLI Horseshoe Curve trainset is no longer available, although I believe they are offering some NS engines?

              Yep, I saw those files but there is a bit of ambiguty in the instructions
              and being a simple chemist (boffin) I thought I would look further.

              I thought I could recall a payware being available. Obviously not...

              Regards

              to Townsvile 2017)

                Horseshoe Route

                Hi

                I downloaded and installed the Horseshoe Route by Austin Yoder and am
                very impressed.

                The detail is way ahead of it's time and I really enjoy running the Acts
                available in the F/L.

                It must have taken a very long time to create.

                Well done and thanks Austin.

                I would like to compare it to the SLI version but cannot find it.

                No matter.

                Regards

                Danel

                  There is no SLI version of Horseshoe. SLI just released train sets to be used on Austin's Horseshoe Curve Route
