3Foot Gauge

[tripman]

Hi all. What 3foot gauge routes are there for MSTS?
3ft gauge searched without success.
I have downloaded Bazzas USNG3 K27 and test run it on Ffestiniog, where Chinese C2 runs, but it run between the rails.
Smashing smashing smashing good models. Thanks Baz.
Now I need a good route to run it on.

Hi Eric,
Try over at Train-sim,do a search narrow and it will give about 5 suitable routes plus stock to behind Bazza's locos,a couple are DRGW routes. Trouble is not many activities

Thanks Michael and Tim.
All sorted now. I had the kerry route already and your right Tim, Bazza's locos test run on the dingle Tralee line fine.
Now I have followed on with Michael's suggestions and downloaded the Silverton Branch DRGW route, some Box cars and stock.
Just as my MSTS interest has been on the wane, indeed I've been playing that PGA Golf game a lot recently, this 3foot stuff has come along and set me off on a new and so far very enjoyable direction.
My six year old game is far from dead.

....downloaded the Silverton Branch DRGW route, some Box cars and stock....

The Introductory Train Ride (INTRO.zip and Train 461.zip in the route folder) reproduces the schedule of Train 461 in 1942 (timetable122.zip).

However at the time of release, there just was not much available in the way of locomotives and rolling stock. Go here to get the best.

Thanks Charlie and Jon. I'm "cooking on Gas now"
Have downloaded the Sumpter valley route, and test run along it's length with bazza's K27 and his rocking caboose with the flags flapping. It's a really picturesque route. The scenery changes all along the way, very well made with a nice feel about it.
I have also downloaded and installed twenty eight Items of suitable stock. So it's head down and all systems go.

Just an aside. I picked up that std gauge Union Pacific "City of Los Angeles" on the way. What a good model that is.
I might be away some while. CU Eric

I'm currently working on the missing third K27, #461, outside piston type. This was the first of the batch of three I made, but never released due to a nasty texture problem in the sim....hence a partial rebuild to try and solve the puzzle.

BTW, the top speed of the K27 should not be greater than 30 mph, so watch that speed, hand on brakes.

Cheers Bazza
