    Default B&O West End Route

    I have seen several references to the "B&O West End" Route but have been unable to find it anywhere. Can anyone tell me if it is in the d/l library, payware or the name of the author?
    Thanks
    Don

    Many thanks for the replies. I had been looking in the Routes downloads, never thought of the Incomplete Routes downloads. Live and learn.
    thanks

    I got Nels to put in the "incomplete" route category a few years back. This occurred to me when a creator
    in Colorado was dying of cancer and sent his route to me, via CoonSkin, for completion. I have around
    10 routes under construction at the same time, so that if I get bored on one, or "hung up" I will go to
    another for a while. At 84, I know my time is limited, so I have a printed instruction for my local son-in-
    law instructing him on how & what to upload to that directory if my time ends. For each route, I am
    creating the specification sheet so he can also upload that. I would recommend that any of us do this
    otherwise very good routes might be lost at the demise of their authors, and many of us are not young.

    Jerry, ( regarding my bold above ) that is a farsighted and generous act you are proposing...thanks, much thanks. If more members of the hobby would adopt this position -- especially those that create freeware, shareware, and public domain -- the hobby would not lose so much fine content that is almost impossible to rebuild.

    Thanks for everything you've created for our ( and yours - I'm hoping ) enjoyment.

    HatTip.jpg to you, My Very Best Regards, Gerry
    Cheers, Gerry
