Trainz Strasburg Railroad 2023

[@HarryLane10]

This is amazing nice job! 👍🏻

[@FiredUpTrains]

Those additions to the route look great!!!

[@axis3039]

Thank you so much! And I'm definitely not done. My next project is focusing on rolling stock and some custom content. I'll post an update video soon enough. Thanks again man! Love the content, keep it coming! If you ever need any help, let me know!

[@kevinsweeney2810]

​@@axis3039you're welcome. Aren't you gonna make Thomas run?

[@axis3039]

Oh, dont you worry my friend!that thomas runs alright! A bit older of a model for sure, but she still works just fine. The only reason I don't run it more often is because this model has the original slightly "creepier" face to it. That being said, it is definitely one of those engines I wish someone would make a new model of. Who knows, maybe I'll make one myself.

I wish Greencoast would make their stuff available some other way, I failed to download or buy any of their products. They had an LS&I 2-8-0 that is not available anywhere else, and a WMSR #734 2-8-0 that looks a little better than K&L's, and their steam locomotives are shiny like they should be. Also, the site that had that B&M Ossipee station and a few others from the out of service portion of the Conway branch as well as a fictional New England tourist railroad in the vein of Conway Scenic for 2019 and a portion of the Maine Central Mountain Division that is owned by Conway Scenic now, closed and only some of the content is on this other site. I managed to get the tourist railroad and Maine Central routes, the three B&M stations used in the tourist railroad route, and some other content but I missed a few things like the Atlanta Amtrak station and I can't download it even on wayback archive.

Greencoast Studios is still active on Facebook. So you can still buy their models. All you have to do is message them. I have bought several of their models off them on Facebook. Happy railroading!!

How did you get the fonts for your b&o coach and indian valley coaches?

[@axis3039]

That font is called railroad Roman 1916. I’ve had that font on my computer for ages. I believe I just downloaded it off of a website

[@rockyfanatic6846]

I have the Strasburgh thomas in Trainz 2019 accept I am not able to run it how were you able to run it

[@axis3039]

It has always run for me. I recommend unistalling and redownloading thomas from the dls. Sometimes files corrupt when they download. Also check to see if you have all the dependencies for the model or else you won't be able to spawn it

[@MatthewTheRBXMan]

You did get some facts wrong but nice video

[@axis3039]

Thank you! Yeah not my finest moment detail wise lol. But the point was to show off the route. More to come in the future.

Most unrealistic thing you said is 31 is being restored lol

[@axis3039]

​@Donald Haney actually it is being restored. Take it from someone who volunteers in the mechanical department. The status of 31 is as follows...it is being restored when the mechanical department has spare time. It is on their list of things to do. However maintance on the passenger equipment and active steam roster takes priority over 31. And before you ask when it will be completed, it will get done when it gets done. Strasburg has significantly grown as a company since its conception back in the 60s. Each year it grows and as such has to function as a well oiled machine. Gone are the days where you can just do stuff on the railroad because you want to. What that means is that business is their #1 priority. So 31 is being restored but it will only be fully brought back when it is most advantageous for the railroad. Since the railroad has grown so much, 31 would be unable to pull the hourly trains anymore. So one of the big limiting factors with the restoration is deciding how to use the locomotive once restored. Strasburg doesn't want a repeat of the reading 1187 scenario where all it does is yard work. So in summary, it is being restored, but you need to trust that Strasburg will do it in their own time. They have no plans on letting it sit outside and rott and there are definitely noplans on getting rid of the locomotive. It holds a very special place in strasburgs history.

[@DJHProductions]

@@axis3039 I respect your opinion, and you may volunteer at the shop but I have discussed with the CFO Blake Zimmerman who told me for a fact that the project is officially canceled. In fact he told me that if he could he would scrap the engine he would. Not really an endorsement on getting it restored. So your assessment on it is wrong. Sorry to burst your bubble, we have all seen the last of 31 operating. Honestly the only hope the engine has of being restored is to be sold. I wish the railroad would because they don’t give a damn about their history, otherwise they wouldn’t have gotten rid of 1187, or the 44 toner. Let’s hope they make a deal with someone in the future because it’s just going to remain a pile of parts for eternity.

[@MatthewTheRBXMan]

I believe they do have plans to restore 31 since number 90 is out for her 1472. They’re gonna need another engine to fill in that spot.

[@deborahkazmierski5001]

how do i get the route? i have trainz 2019

[@axis3039]

It is payware from fired up trainz. I believe the route costs about $10usd. Just know the route you in the video is a heavily modified version of the original, meaning they will not look the same. However I have tried my best to show all the modifications I have done to the route. Also worth note, the route does NOT come with any engines or rolling stock. Those you will have to download or pay for separately.
