K&L Trainz Dry Brook & Esopus Valley 13 Promo (Official)

[@lcs3491]

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

[@KLTrainz]

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

[@LNERfan]

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

[@KLTrainz]

It's based off the Catskill Mountain Railroad.

[@vondumozze738]

Yes, it was all the CMRR could have been or should have been. My sister lives in West Hurley and I used follow the RRs progress when I went up to visit her.

[@Timerman765]

Me too

[@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.

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 🙂

[@ChrisJones-gx7fc]

@@ApproachMedium this rendition got a far better treatment than the actual Catskill Mountain RR has. That line had, and still has, a lot of potential. The powers at be that set the current fate of the CMRR are gone, and those there now appear to be more favorable of the tourist trains. Hopefully that means a brighter future for the CMRR going forward.

[@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.

[@generaltophat5877]

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!

[@linkjoe806]

A defunct railroad museum in Vermont? Is this a referral to Steamtown USA?

[@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. Check it out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4bPooevh6iijtU&ab_channel=ApproachMedium

[@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.

[@michaelbenitez539]

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
