Pennsylvania 1945 map

[maddog]

Hey all!

I started playing RT2 again and wanted a monty haul map for diesels so I edited my Pennsylvania 1880 map and removed the companies and changed the default starting date.  Saved it as Pennsylvania 1945. The map is attached. Enjoy!  :)

I have updated my RT2 web page with the new map. It's with the Pennsylvania 1880 map.

Enjoy!  :)

Interesting, we both posted a Pennsylvania map today and they are almost the same size.  I evented the F3 A+B diesel, the 2-8-2 and the GG1 and kept the 1900 date.  My RR uses the GG1. The big AI uses the diesel and the other AI RRs use the 2-6-0 which is correct for the date.  No company uses the 2-8-2.

I'll give your map a try.

That's weird!  :)  I've wanted a modern Pennsylvania map for a long time but I've not even had the time in the last year to sit down and play RT2 let alone make a new map. I added a couple of new towns to PA_1945 but the events are from PA_1880.

I'll have to try your map as well.  :)

Ray, What are the mountain ridges called, that run across the center of Pennsylvania.

I had a bad start with the game, so I borrowed a few million from the Slush fund bank and did some cell stitching through those mountains.  I have not done that in a long time.  I put electric track in that topless tunnel and connected a steam railroad at each end of the tunnel as a drop point.  These steam lines connect to the ports and a few cities.  I have yet to run this thing.  Thats for tomorrow.

There are the Allegheny Mountains in the south and the Pocono Mountains in the east.  Both are part of the Appalachian Mountain Range.

Hi guys,

I haven't yet, but I'm going to start playing RT2 again also.  I'll download both maps and give them a whirl.  It's amazing to me that as time rolls on and life is forever changing, I always come back to RT2!  :)

I'm still looking for a game I like better than RT2.

I enjoy making maps in both RT2 and RT3 but don't enjoy playing RT3

I have Tycoon Deluxe that I only tried once after buying off of a mark-down table.

At the time I was deeply involved in RT2 and never got back to it.

I've heard it was very popular.  I will have to give it a real try.

As if remodeling my house and cleaning up after the last big storm wasn't enough to do.  But, as if it was a benefit, my back bothers me a lot and I take long breaks in a modified vibrator chair sitting in front of my computer.  So I'm not completely out of the Tycoon business.

Gwizz, I just picked up Trainz Railroad Simulator 2006 today for Cnd$14.95. The about half hour movie on the DVD showing train footage (75% Steam - rest Diesel) was worth that amount all by itself. Don't like some of the concepts of that game but it has got many good points.

When I want to play a RR game I also play RT2. Simply can not beat it for sheer fun.
