Hey yall, recently got MSTS with Open Rails up and running on my PC and im having a blast.

However, I was really interested in purchasing the West Colton route from 3D trains. It's just the route with no trainsets or anything else. (No problem) It told me to head over to dieselwest.com to aquire the SP Colton Packs 1 and 2 for trainsets and activities. Yet, I don't see them there in the gallery. I also have 0 idea on how to put in a request to DieselWest to purchase or acquire the files that are available in the gallery. Either, I'm too old, too dumb, or just dumb and old, but I have no idea how to put in a request. Much appreciated in advance.

The name of the business was dieselswest.....plural.
As far as I can determine, they no longer exist as a supplier of "stuff" for MSTS.......I think they closed up the shop about three years ago and their website merely contains an archive of images/docs/info about what they used to sell.

I believe you have to be one of the chosen few and be able to walk on water. To get access to DW addons these days.

I bought dozens of their loco's 10 - 15 years back approx. It was as easy as clicking on an image on the site back then.

Not anymore apparently.

Do a search on the forum plenty of asking about DW

For those new to MSTS/OR. Diesels West is really not worth the time and problems. Once a great place to shop, that stopped some 3-5 years ago. There are many other payware vendors out there that make great content and it's usually hassle free to make a purchase. West Colton. You'll have to make activities yourself since it's a real chore to get the activities and required items from DW. It's rather simple to do and there are a few utilities that can help you with that.

I didn't even notice it was plural. I thought it might have been a moniker or an alias they were using. "Diesel West":P
Thank you for the information though! Looking through all of these older websites is a real trip, its like they stopped in time.

This is some sizeable information. Honestly, looking through all the hoops I MIGHT to jump through to wipe the dust off of these old MSTS routes to make them work for OR seemed like a real pain. I looked at some videos regarding activity making. It seems daunting at first, but it might be worth playing with if I could get some downtime from work. The sky is the limit with that. Thank you!

If you re-read his post you'll see that he's got West Colton and is after the DW stuff.
If you read a little further on you'll see that DW are no longer in the business of supplying their defunct products.

If you like yard switching, and other yard activities, the West Colton is a good route to have. There is an activity template at Skyline Computing. http://www.skylinecomputing.com/templates2.htm

Almost all the activities that were available from DW used the "SP packs" ( there were four plus some other additions ) that were sold by Diesels West. You could probably sub in equipment from the TS library or SLI payware ( pre TrainSimulations ). The route itself has some nice features, although there are places for improvements for those knowledgeable about using the Route Editors ( TSRE or the MSTS RE ).

I am IN FACT an avid yard switcher enjoyer....haha. Something about breaking down a huge consist and sorting it into little cuts and doing the converse of that brings me a form of inner peace nothing else can.

This is the berries right here. Thank you very much.

Hello, maybe somebody can help, and know an answer. If I create an account on Diesels West (members), will I be able to buy their locomotives ?

And the Sherman Hill Route for OR also from 3dtrains (I would like to buy this one too), is there any chance to make a comeback, similar to what is happening to the Feather River Canyon ? Thanks in advance
