This is SERIOUS quality, damn that documentary and the voice over is just top notch, I’m buying right now.

[@lcs3491]

That DBEV billboard is one of the best I’ve ever seen 😂

[@KLTrainz]

Lambeau Cup Series i made it as a joke/placeholder originally, but it added some humor and is like a little Easter egg, so it was kept as is.

[@warbabyproductions]

I agree with lambert cup series

[@samuelfarris1949]

You know, I find a concept like this so refreshing against the backdrop of setups derived strictly from actual events. Most may call this 'fiction', but the better term I see for something like this is alternate reality - an incidental recurring aspect of my own personal projects in the works. An excellent joint-project - an improvement even from the Eagle River layout; yet another example of the quality of you, Steve Lerro, and your crew. I have some commission ideas of my own on the back-burner somewhere, and I may consider paying you for them when I have the time. Meanwhile from England I give you my compliments (I'd like to see you try a British loco sometime). Samuel F.

This got my hopes up that this would be an actual tourist railroad.

[@KLTrainz]

It's based off the Catskill Mountain Railroad.

The Ulster and Delaware that never was lol. Still love this fictional retelling of my local rail history, I never got around to making anything close to this in Trainz and I will always appreciate Approach Medium for helping to drum up interest in it as I know we both share a connection to the area this route is based on

[@ApproachMedium]

"The Ulster & Delaware that never was..." you nailed it! lol. Always good to see people making that connection 🙂

[@Blackwater66]

I want to see a second part where the station is restored and the bridge repaired! This was an awesome video!

[@JonatanGronoset]

This was actually so well written I had to do a double take and google the railroad, thinking it was a real shortline! Congrats on this, and I love the "Pentrex man" narrating the thing, giving it even more authenticity. The posed and moving people is an extra effort, gotta mean several hours of changing the route and for each shot and posing everything correctly. Very nice.

[@AussieChristophe27]

It's sort of like a "what if" of the Ulster & Delaware/Catskill Mountain Railroad if that line still hauled freight.

[@berkshirerailfanproduction5155]

Can you do No.34 of John Allen's Gorre And Daphetid Railroad? Having a 4-10-0 will definitely be the most interesting, since you can do things like the PRR FG1 I think Gorre And Daphetid 34 will be an excellent choice to make next, her design on her model was very unique

[@JeremiahTrane]

How did ya get Dave to narrate this? That is really cool!!

[@phlbuff]

I really enjoy the time and effort put into this, but I have a question how do you get the whistles to not Audio skip? It's mostly in the middle the whistle audio skips. and I don't know how to fix it

[@KLTrainz]

RBXXDev it all depends on the speed, the angle which you face the train, and how good your processors is. I shoot my scenes numerous time to get the right angle for sights and sounds. It’s definitely harder to get seamless at higher speeds. You can hear it a little in some of the whistle sequences.

[@phlbuff]

Thanks!, it takes me like 20 minutes to try and find the perfect one

[@phlbuff]

@@KLTrainz I have another question, How do you get the camera to shake when the train passes? (I'm really sorry for asking) I'm not sure how you do it but my friends say you edit the clip and just shake it side to side.. And I'm not sure about that

[@KLTrainz]

@@phlbuff It's pretty obvious that the video has gone through some editing to make it into the production that it is. Camera shaking is one of those edits.

[@goldenspikeproductions1]

I have a question. When I downloaded this map it said there were missing dependencies. I don’t how to fix this I downloaded everything like 10 times and nothing happened.

[@KLTrainz]

Depends on what dependencies they are. I know Approach included most dependencies with the route, the rest were on the DLS I believe. Overtime some assets are used payware assets on DLC routes from N3V so they may become unavailable. If it’s a route or session based item missing, then reaching out to him directly on his website would be the quickest way to get a response from him.

[@mattdotsonrailfanproductio266]

You should do some promos on some Australian steam locomotives

[@lojored802]

And since the locomotive is an ex canadian national, it would be a coincidence if the original number was 1113. If it was, then l like to imagine if it had a lerro productions photo charter in it's original livery. Then slowly, the original look stuck.

[@blairterry9435]

Have Dave Drui narrate 261's trailer! Pentrex had did videos on the engine so they would be the best choice.

[@philkirman8957]

i tried downloading the route yesterday and there are a ton of missing deps and i cannot run the RS1 and the GP9 but i can run the SW1500 and the steam engine

[@KLTrainz]

All dependencies that are not on the DLS should be included with the route. If you're missing anything specific, reach out to the route's creator here: www.approachmedium.com/support and he should be able to get you working!

[@skythehedgehog8987]

We need some follow-ups to focus on the extensions of the railroad, to show how well business has been for this railroad due to the tourist trips, and hey, maybe there could be some new engines in these follow-ups

[@KLTrainz]

Approach medium actually made a video late last year showing just that. He modified the route showing how the tourism business has blossomed, but the freight business declined....also added a bike path along the route as well.
