The Branchline (JWR) Route For MSTS Tool
Alke Stilwell
The Route Building Tutorial will guide you through the steps required to build a small railway route. The tutorial route will be modelled after a historic short branch line of less than 10 miles, between Matakana and Mt Hope (Australia). Building the tutorial route will allow you to practice your route building skills and to gain the knowledge of the different tasks, tools and actions that you need to build a route of your own desire.
Train Simulator Route Explorer (TSRE) is the main tool that you will use to build the route. See the Train Simulator Route Explorer section below for more details and how to download and install the route editor.
When I saw a TV news report about a startup Aussie company called Auran showcasing a "Model Railway Simulator" back in 2002 I immediately ordered a copy. With its easy to use "world builder" Surveyor it was the perfect fusion of trains and computers. MSTS and Railroad Tycoon went straight to the digital trash can. Learning from the work of other creators and a certain fearlessness in experimenting with the available tools and techniques, I was able to quickly create routes. But it wasn't until 2004 before I felt confident enough in my skills to upload my first creation, a fictional route. This was followed in 2006 by a second fictional route.
