Open Rails Route--Omura Line

[csantucci]

Yes, you have to create switches (and crossovers) with the desired gauge. But doing that is much less work than rebuilding the full track layout.

Thanks Carlo.

There was at one time someone who was working on 42" gauge track but then he just disappeared.

I picked up the 3-6 torch for a while, but haven't touched it in a couple years. Switches and diamonds are a nightmare to build...

[charland]

Yes, not in a big rush to try a switch either!

Is there any 3-6 Japanese stock available anywhere? I've not been able to find any...

[jefffarq]

I've gotten several requests for the stock and consists used in the route. All stock and consist files used in the Omura activities are default - they came with MSTS as part of the original installation, so they should be present in your MSTS installation. If you have removed that stuff for whatever reason, you should be able to restore it using your install disks. As previously pointed out here, I cannot legally distribute the stock.

Edit: It has been brought to my attention that some folks may just have Open Rails installed, and don't own MSTS. I hadn't thought of that, I only started using ORTS recently and I guess I just assumed everyone has MSTS.

It's possible to substitute other stock for the default stuff I used, either editing the consist files themselves with Notepad, or using another consist editor. The trains used in the route's activities are all passenger trains, some of the AI trains are electric, but wouldn't have to be.

Sorry for the confusion.
