(POLL) Altoona
I have been thinking of doing a Altoona area map, but since the curves are really short in locomotion would you guys still want it?
May the force be with you.

Re: (POLL) Altoona
I watched an Extreme Trains episode about that place. Large rail line owned by Norfolk Southern, High amounts of coal pass through the area. I even made a scenario based on that, but the only accurate thing about it was the H-Curve.

Re: (POLL) Altoona
I think this would be a great addon for Locomotion. I also watched extreme trains and The Horseshoe Curve Route would be great.

Re: (POLL) Altoona
here are some pics, the climb after the curve was improvised, it looks nothing like that in RL, but oh well, loco is just a game and has a lot of limits. and for anybody with knowledge of the area, there is a kind of eateregg in this map, for the railroad of course

with screenshot 3, the climb near the tunnel entrance would be an area that the trains could have a problem with
Re: (POLL) Altoona
only problem with this map is that all trains will take a while because no matter how many horsepower if they get more than two slopes they will go 5mph

Re: (POLL) Altoona
two thing you could do
just short trains
shape the land scape more to make it easier
or a mix of both.
