Thanks Cyclone!
The only way to patch would be to rebuild the route and replace the Stevens Pass assets, and publish a new route since the Route was published as final in 2016.

Totally agree regarding DTGs licensing. Makes it super-tough to maintain a build that lasts longer than a few years.

I'm still working on the main BSRR route and making updates.

Thanks again for your interest!

Best,

No worries. Maybe the patch can be created to be applied on top of this download so that a user can then unsubscribe and not have it be changed repeatedly? I do agree, though, that it would be better if DTG would just allow Steven's Pass assets to be generally usable, as with Marias Pass (not the locos, of course). I'm not sure how widely used the Cajon Pass is, but it's obtainable if someone finds a 2012 key, and I think the UK has an Amazon version of that they can pick up. Really annoying that an asset pack can't just be included with the game to allow for this.

Hi Cyclone,

Apologies for the delayed response. Happy New Year to you!

I tried removing the Stevens Pass assets and then publishing a special build for you but workshop continues to fail the upload.

I do wish DTG had a limit on localization for licensing since this was from 2016 as well as allow the Route to be installed.

Cheers!

Any chance you can create a patched version to change out the Stevens Pass content? In other words, create a patch that non-Americans can run to change the route to take those out? I believe since it's all scenic elements that it would not affect scenarios. Patch can just be added to the description with a note like what I suggested, and a different road type used where applicable (Sherman Hill would be sufficient).

HI FlyingScotsman :) Thank you ever soo much for the kind words!!! Yes, in a way this is like Miner's Croxton Ordinay. We wanted to release a final route for the Scenario building Folks . The BSRR Shortline is, the original 6 mile Route I started 3 years ago, the one Matt visited on TSL. You will want the full 56 Mile BSRR from West Haven to New London, which is actively undergoing Development, here:

Hi SQK, ill being following the progress of this route ever since mr Matt Peddlesden has showcased it on his stream. And i'm very impressed by your work so far :) But i'm wondering what is this version of the route? Is this like Minerman's Bergen Line Croxton Ordinary route where part of the route is final or is it a totally different route to your other BSRR. Anyway thanks for sharing and creating this marvelous route ;) Will try it out once ill get all of the required assets :) Cheers mate

AMAZING!!!!! Well Done Sir!

Hi, I have just uploaded a 45 minute scenario for your route.
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=895966861

Hi Sir,

All the QD rolling stock is from: Sherman Hill, NYNH, and Miami (for those gravel hoppers)

Looking again at your screen shots, I feel sure I must be missing some repaints and that will be why I have no locos appearing in the QD. Where do I find them?

No luck loading the UP hoppers.
I discovered there is a short section of track between the Loading depot and the bridge that is supposed to be 15mph, but is set for 10mph, I fixed it in the scenario I was doing.
I have not checked to see if you have overlooked it in your main version of the route that you are still working on.
Well its about 1am, so I'm off to the scratcher.

Oh, oh I found when I loaded the QD scenario, I have no locos at all and it appears I should have 4. Why can I not have any of the 4 locos?
I have all the stuff mentioned for "[What you will need for the base DLC]". I just purchased "The Holiday Express"
Further you mentioned using the Miami Hoppers for loading, but in your QD you are using the "UP" hoppers.
Still unable to load the Miami Hoppers, will try the "UP" versions.

Yes Sir! These should be loaded with the QD.

Cheers!
~SQK

Oh I see, the trick is to use the "Miami Gravel Hoppers" awesome I will swap what I was using for those ones. Great news.

PART TWO:
8. Drag the loader and positoin on the track below the Massive Dump Truck, and rotate by holding the left mouse button ( or Rotate tool on bottom center of screen ) release button when positioned
9. Once you release the mouse button, a double headed arrow tool will appear, position this directly under the dump truck (this tool will snese when the Hopper Car is above the loading point and can be loaded)
10. Press the F2 Key to save
11. Hit the ARROW (PLAY BUTTON) on the Bottom Right
12. Press ESC key, QUITE, YES
13. Go to SETTINGS
14. TOOLS --> Clear Cache
15. TTS2017 will restart
16. Launch the THE BRANFORD STEAM RR SHORT LINE Quick Drive
17. Back your engine down and push one of the hoppers under the Dumptruck (and center with your Newly added loader) + Set the brake
18. Click the loader and hold. Loading animation will begin. Add Rinse Repeat for Each Hopper :)

* Please Message me if you run into Troubles

Cheers!

Hi Roland,

There is a Loader just below the track which requires Stevens Pass. Once a hopper is directly below the Dump Truck.

I added a visible loading station to the BSRR full route (since the Shortline is final and cannot be updated) and tested l9oading those Miami Gravfel Hoppers and it worked just fine. The Car must be directly iunfder the Dump truck and the brakes on the engine set ( eg. standstill vs. the slow moving consists at a crawl for quicker loading)


You can update your Route Copy of the BSRR Shortline if you wish, by going into the Editor.

From the TS2017 MAIN MENU
1. BUILD
2. (Route Tab) Scroll Down to THE BRANFORD STEAM RR SHORT LINE
3. Select EDIT
4. Now FLY-TO the Dumptruckloading area using the keyboard Arrow keys
5. Select the HOUSE (Object Tools) on the upper left
6. Select the SEMAPHORE (Track Infrastructure)
7. Type the "S" key, and then scroll down to StP CEMENT LOADER

Hi sqk4477 [author] I cannot get any of the Hopper Wagons to load. I noticed you had a loader at that point, but it is underground. It looks like the one I used in my Whatley Quarry route, that came from Stevens Pass.
Any help appreciated.

Hi RolandBP :) Thanks so much for the review. I agree with the track speeds.
This Shortline is final and can now have scenarios while I continue working on the 56 mile BSRR NEC scenery.

There are lots of video of the actual shortline in action on YouTube:

This route is very nicely modelled and will be ideal for the short haul of quarried metal to either connect with the passing mainline or to be shipped out on barges, on the short branch.
My only bone is I feel much of the 10mph track could be made 20mph, until closer to the Quarry.
I would like to see it become "Final", so as to do a short scenario for the Workshop and play others scenarios.
One does not always like to {or have the time to} play on a long route.
Great potential for shunting.

PLEASE HELP
Vote Up the BSRR Original Shortline route so it can become Final and we can start building some Scenarios.

Thanks!
`SQK

Hey Gang,

Please let me know if you have any other feedback so I can release this Friday as FINAL :)

Thanks again!
