Scalerail conversion pack for NS Clinch Valley

[yellowdog]

I've been going through my installation and backup files, organizing and cleaning things up. In 2005, Drifton Dalton released the NS Clinch Valley route (located here in the file library, beginning with file nscv1.zip). At some point after, 3DTrains released a conversion pack to update Drifton's CV route with ScaleRail. That update pack include an exe that installs shapes, textures, and updated world files, etc. I have that conversion file on my system as SR_NS_Clinch_Valley.zip. From what I can tell, it looks like this was a freeware package that was housed on the 3DTrains website, but I don't know if it was only available to members or if any site visitor could download it. At any rate, I cannot find it in our library (unless I missed something). I'm wondering if it would be prudent to upload this file. Included licenses and readmes attached for review.

Yes, it indeed was a freeware package. You had to log onto the forum to download it, but making an account was free, and you didn't have to buy anything to download it.

Since Scalerail and Scaleroad were also free downloads in much the same manner, I'd say it's fair game to upload unless Eric says otherwise.

Thoughts eric Bananarama ?

I've found a similar ScaleRail package for the original Pocahontas (not Kenny's updated Pokey 2). On my system it has the filename SR_Pocahontas.zip. Still waiting on any other feedback/thoughts about uploading these freeware conversion packages that were hosted on defunct 3DTrains site to the file library here for preservation.

Fine by me. 🙂

Thank you! I'll get them in the library!

Edit:
They are now available!

Hi Yellowdog,

I have a complete Clinch Valley route created a year or two ago by Mr. Jerry Sullivan. He was kind enough to send this one to me to put the "lipstick" on. This is tracks only, no roads, bridges, tunnels or signals. With that being said, the work that needs to go into this one before I can do my damage to it is work that I have no idea where to start. I don't know anything about signals, cutting the holes for the tunnels. I could probably figure out the paving of the roads. I know that most of Jerry's routes he places markers for a lot of that stuff. I did a high speed run through of the CV line from Bluefield to St. Charles, VA and concluded that this one could turn out as good as the Pokey2. With the branch lines Jerry included, this completes the Pocahontas Division as I knew it.

It would be really great if I could find one or two folks here in our community that was willing to do what they do best with this one to bring it to life.
