At The Railyard: LaSalle, Rockford & Central

[mstsme]

Hey Nick,just wondering whats your PC spec's?

[trainguy3985]

you should do some reviews for downloadable routes and content for railworks!

[trainguy3985]

also why do you say Rockford to Granville if trainsim says it goes from Rockford to LaSalle?

[RailwayBobbie]

This route looks as good, if not better, than some payware routes. Superb review - as always.

[trainguy3985]

what's the story behind the tourist train?

[trmania]

@trainguy3985 I wanted to create a tourist railroad that acquired its equipment from different railroads but didn't have the time to repaint it.

[trainguy3985]

@trmania where would it operate along the route?

[trmania]

@trainguy3985 I had it operating from LaSalle to Granville and back, but since this is all fictional, it's entirely flexible.

[trainguy3985]

@trmania where did you get the rolling stock for the tourist train?

[trmania]

@trainguy3985 Belanger Locomotive Works, Zosa Trains. The open air car hasn't been released yet.

Looks like you had a blast operating Texas & Pacific #610 on this fictional railroad. My guess is that you got this engine off of trainsim.com.

Nice review! After seeing the video I feel I should make myself a fictional toruist and freight line on this route.

[mstsme]

Hey did you edit your Camfg file

[trmania]

@mstsme Yes.

I like the clear signals "protecting" the diamonds.

[trmania]

@setandcentered That's an MSTS bug. I filmed those segments in Explore Mode, and MSTS will only set the signals to red in an activity.

I live near the EJ&E So I can appreciate midwest railroads, like this one. Awesome Review.

[IllinoisTrains1]

I love this railroad. Especially since it is so close to home. Rochelle is about 10 miles from me.

[ThomasFan3751]

Nicely done!

[MrRailroadrunner]

Ok little history, Rockford and Grandville used to have rail between them. They were actualy in michigan, and used to have sharknozes running it.

[skullcrusher301]

Did you know the lead unit on the EJ&E train(661) was used in the movie "Dennis The Menace"

[komsomolac]

Another gem Nick! Nice selection of music, as always;)

[nkproad777]

Great review again! 

[MaumeeandWesternRR]

Great video. you should due a review on Chrisracer8903's CSX Saginaw Sub on Trainz.

[greatnorthern159]

Im in about 5 seconds and I already know its gonna be a great video! :)

[sirrliv]

Another wonderful review! Really enjoyed it.

And of course, the bloopers are always good for a giggle.

Btw, are you planning on reviewing another Trainz route? After Cape May County, I kinda thought this season would be dedicated to TRS, but so far there's just been the one.

[kittycraft]

Wow, the ending with the music is beautiful & perfect.
