Great shots! Isn't it a sweet little route?
I started drafting an activity some time back and then got hung up in an AE conundrum ... I'll just have to simplify and try again. The problem is that I try to re-create real activities and the ol' MSTS model doesn't cooperate. And I'm not as devious as Andre who comes up with all kinds of slight-of-hand to make one think something is happening when it is not.

Yeah, I hear Ya!
I have even tried using his activities, and still can't do it! Yes, this is a GREAT route! Between this and the St. L. & N.A., along with Donner, I still need more steam!

I've been thinking of buying this route. Never been into steam, but want to give it a try. I've been debating on the O&N or Donner. Leaning towards the O&N. A quick question...Is anybody making a template of the O&N for Steve Davis's Activity Generator? BTW, simply beautiful shots!!!

Al, not that I'm aware of. Andre would know. But take the plunge; the ON is worth it!
Galen:
Nice shots! I like what Kosmos has done!
Steve:
When you've been away from the AE for a while, you get rusty. It'll come back to you.
Al:
You won't go wrong either way you go. Donner Pass is an excellently done route and has very nice equipment.
The Ozark Northern is nothing like any commercial route available. I did my very best to capture the 1890's look and feel within MSTS. Jon Davis has supplied unheard of amounts of equipment for such a reasonable price. Of course, I'm prejudiced!
Like I said: You'll have fun whichever route you choose!
As for an ON Skyline template: I don't see one listed at the Skyline site... but Steve does say he's open to suggestions. I have been considering purchasing Steve's offerings to see if it can aid me in creating activities quicker.

Here are a few more shots. I edited the Helper 2 activity. I still have problems when I come out for the second train. I couple on, and it shows in F9 display, however, I can not push. It is like the engines go dead, no transfer of the headlight to the lead locomotive, and I can not uncouple and back up. Still, I have loads of fun! I am using the Vaulcain Compound, number 13.
Enjoy! I know I am!!
Best Regards,
Galen

Nice shots! Love the heavy snow look.
Do you experience any issues running Helper 2 using the equipment the original activity uses? Or, does this seem to be limited the 2-8-0's?
What version of MSTS Bin do you have installed?

Hey Andre,
Just the 2-8-0's.....Which I LOVE! I have Bin 1.7....You know, the one advertised as Stable, and stops "wild" spinning drivers on AI steam.
Glad you like the shots..I'll be sending more!
Best Regards,

Hm. Curious. Sounds like I may want to poke around in the eng file and sd file to see if something is obvious.

Andre,
When the second train pulls up (AI), number 4 is the lead engine. I am using the 2-8-0, and as the AI approaches, the smoke comes out as "light plumes", with small puffs. When it comes to a halt, no smoke appears from the AI stack, even when coupling.
