Another route made through DRT, its still in the works, its from Perth Amboy, NJ to Wakefield Bronx. Ill post the map once I complete it. Construction starts September 6
-
Phase one will be from Perth Amboy NJ to Grasmere, SI, this will make transfers available to the SIR and the new Grasmere (15), Phase 2 will go up to Water st Brooklyn
-
Phase 3 will extend to Hoboken
-
Will you also make a non-fictional version of the (W), or will that be covered in the (N)?
-
Im going to make the (N) soon just waiting on the Skeleton and yeah ill do a non-fictional W lol
-
ok I'm working on both the N & W im going to wait on the skeleton but this route will be renamed the (AR)
-
good luck Rome
-
ok I'm working on both the N & W im going to wait on the skeleton but this route will be renamed the (AR)
So, that means that the non-fictional (W) will still be called the (W) and the (N) the (N), but just this fictional route this thread is for is called the (AR) right?
-
Also, another question; JayJay85 is now working on a Northbound (N) Line, so will your Southbound (N) be included with it in a package or something?
-
Yeah as soon as we finish the northbound we'll reverse it southbound :)

heres the map of the AR route
-
At 126 stations total, your route easily holds the record for most stops on a BVE route. :P
In all seriousness though, you might want to split this route somewhere because I can't see too many people spending all day running this route from end to end, especially if it's a full local route. Right now, this route is set to be more than twice as long as the (2) or (A) local lines. Mind you, I'm not trying to discourage you or any other route builders or their creativity. This line is just a bit too long in my opinion to be an enjoyable route.

I second this
-
In all seriousness, this route makes no sense. I know it's your creation and all, but that map looks like 4 different lines fused together.
-
I'm sorry but this route is really too much and doesn't make any sense. Why don't you try doing something a little shorter because I really think this will not work out very well. But if you want to attempt it, good luck.
-
You need to have some sort of bathroom break for the T/Os. Imagine if you had to go for one of the earlier stops...I can't picture anyone possibly being able to hold it in for that long even for the express.
-
lol yes, this would be fun to see how fast you can race through it at the current length. but i really do hope theres a super express that comes out with this route, because the local would be a PITA to drive lol =p
-
It's going to have express stops, I already started on Perth Amboy but I'll finish it once I complete the (N) & (W) I might branch off the (AR) to shorten the stops
-
Lol I'll make the full length skeleton first and the super express will be in SI Brooklyn Queens and Bronx lol
-
Here's Perth Amboy, I'll continue making the skeleton to Grasmere
(http://i1223.photobucket.com/albums/dd519/ARomedtbf/PerthAmboy.jpg)
NOTE: I will try making this my First 5th Gen Route besides the (N) :)
-
(http://i1223.photobucket.com/albums/dd519/ARomedtbf/NJSwitches.jpg)
Here's the switches
-
Ok the Skeleton is up to Atlantic SI but the objects will be added later
-
I'm back on developing the route, and to let you guys know, there will be a super express being made after the skeleton is finished
-
Staten Island Branch Is completed! Will post a video of the skeleton soon!
-
Will there be beta releases?
-
Will there be beta releases?
I don't know as of now.... And plus I'm not going to post up betas so you can mod and claim it to yourself like the R142 u claim u made Casey

Hey, if you actually downloaded you would see that I gave credit to the original maker. Plus, I don't modify routes.
@Dj Hammers - Yeah right.

@Dj Hammers - Yeah right.
Casey I suggest you make your own content than modifying something that was made before.... Modifying a train's texture takes less skill than creating an entire new thing. Just stop with this R142 making and make something different that wasn't made before because it is better for the community

I stoped with the R142, I am making a fantasy train with realistic propulsion sounds.

Perth Amboy Station
-
Nice, but I can suggest that you use the rubber platform edges because the the concrete edges are being replaced with rubber ones.. :)
-
Maybe ARome put the older edges instead of newer ones on that station for a reason...
-
That, IDK about.
So is this train the (AR) or the (W)??
The title keeps changing...

First off I agree with Hammers... and this is NOT your route Casey... Second stop complaining about the changing of the name, read the beginning of the thread if you want to know why. Didn't you learn your lesson? I'm not going to let your nonsense roll onto my thread Casey.... back on topic... if this drama keeps on going I will NOT release ANY OF MY ROUTES
-
(http://i1223.photobucket.com/albums/dd519/ARomedtbf/RAT.jpg)
We have new friends that will be added onto the route... well in Phase III
-
For the zoo lol
If you thought the rat and the zebra were going to be added onto the route well... no... these objects wont be added onto the route
Be advised the platforms are being replaced and stations are being constructed.
on Phase II expect some craziness after Grasmere
-
Disregard the previous objects, it was just to fool others.. but since I finally figured out how to cut 25m objects to 5m, the floating tracks that you saw, are going to become Elevated!
-
Development with the (AR) will be going slow due to college assignments, etc. Please be patient...

How do u get ur map to show the dots? i have a fictional map i would like to show but every time i post it it dosent come up
(And PS: if your going to make this route this long, you might wan't to add a express route that at least comes down to 80 stops or 50 stops) (And a super express sounds nice, make it have 25 stops and i will defiantly download this route :D

And not to sound rude to this but I'm making this fictional route, not you. If you want a 25 stop route or less go ahead and make your own route. I'm already making a super express, but I decide on how I want to construct it not you. You aren't developing the route, and if I keep hearing from foamers saying "do this" and
"do that" I really will stop developing my routes. I have a life...

Anyways, I'm adding light poles to the stations, brightness commands are used and soon I will add signals

...if I keep hearing from foamers saying "do this" and

You are acting as if the community is forcing you to build a route. Do what you please, but from my point of view, MTrainOperator asked a harmless question. He is merely making a suggestion about including an express route. You could have easily dismissed it by saying it's not necessary, but instead you decided to go the "shut up or I'll remove my content" route, which personally, puts you on the same level as those British authors and the "other guy" who pulled his content away from the respective communities all because a few individuals pissed them off. I'm not hating on you, I'm just trying to get you to think sensibly and to consider some TOLERANCE.

Not to sound rude, but all you had to do was say "No" to his question. But you had to make it like he is forcing you like Simon says, which he probably isn't, just asking a simple question. Either say no or just ignore the question, it's as easy as that. You have a life I'm sure, but answering like that will only make life harder for you.
Take it from my perspective, when I'm detailing cars (buffing/waxing) I have customers on my back asking me this and that and I just answer to them this is my way, your way costs more money or I don't do it like that.
Easy, done. Life goes on.

Thanks man, anyways since im working on 2 non-fictional routes the (AR) will be under slow development, for updates feel free to check on the (N) & (W)

Heres A remake of the map, yes stations have been cut due to budget constrictions. The Staten Island portion is being redone due to major bugs.
Lines and place-marks that are red are the new routes for the W (formerly known as the AR)
Lines in orange are going to be reconstructed
Note: the W will only serve NY not NJ due to budget cuts

This is a remake of the map, disregard the previous map.
Screenshots will be posted soon!
-
good greif thats a long route, good luck.
-
How long would it take for an operator to complete that route?
-
about 2 hours tops lol
-
The track layout has been placed, I would show screenshots but its just tracks and platforms lol
-
i'll suggest that you're workin' on a fictional (W) as the title says, fictional? cause the real (W) never ever went to bronx or bk (don't ask, i've only seen the (N)(Q)(R) trains goin' to brooklyn and don't see anything at all going to bronx besides the (B)(D), oh and "didn't the (W) go to coney island 1 time???" i think that's back then when the (W) replaced (N) services to coney island
EDIT: ahh damn! i'm too fast on the keyboard

(W) did go into Brooklyn. Back when north side of Manhattan Bridge went into construction and the (B)(D) terminated at 34th St. This is where the (W) came out of Coney Island replacing the (B) and the (D) was replaced by the (Q) and I believe the <Q> as well.

By the way, if things go well, Phase I will be released soon
it will end at Shore Acres as of Phase I
Phase II will end at Flatbush Avenue
Phase III will end at 125 Street
Lastly Phase IV will finally terminate at Yankee Stadium and there will be a connect to the Grand Concourse line.
Stay Tuned for More Updates!

How do you do such wonderful work? This is amazing, it inspires me to try developing something again but over summer vacation would be the best time.

Thanks nelson :) And if you need any help we can help you out.
Part of the route will be released soon if things go well
-
I think objects would be a good thing to start off with. Small useful objects that are easy to build. Then i'd try to build a basic fictional route then do a real route like a shuttle.

That's the way to go, starting off small and working your way up, good luck man ;D
Note: This route will include animated trippers!

Thanks, you know what a route should include? Punch boxes next to the stop marker so you could punch for your line-up. I wonder what this community will be like in the future with all these advances we're having in this community

That's being included on the N and W :o but I doubt it will be able to be manually activated lol
-
Lol just the plain box being there is good enough, at DeKalb Avenue after school, you always see the box light up about a minute before the train comes. Nobody will activate anything unless it's coded into the route somehow, if it's possible. Once, you pass a certain point the light will turn on? Maybe like an animated signal but that doesn't matter. A good idea is to have the box already set up. It'll be in the route just for show.
-
They haven't really been implemented because in order to use the punchbox you would have to verify that you're either diverging or going forward, and you can't activate an external object from inside the cab just yet(at least not to my knowledge). I do have a texture of it, lying around somewhere.
BStyles
-
you could just make it an animated file that lights up, the tower punches for the train sometimes anyways

didn't the (W) go to coney island one time???
