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?

Not wanting to sound stupid, but where is Altoona and why is it exciting?

any prr map is good was altonna electrified?

Altoona Pennsylvania (USA)
The site of the horse-shoe curve and the lesser mule-shoe curve as well as the Altoona Engine works.
@ blue beatle no, never was.
for some more info on the horse-shoe curve

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.

Woah that does look kinda cool!

Ok
I will start production tomorow.

isn't Altoona also now an amtrak Hub

I think this would be a great addon for Locomotion. I also watched extreme trains and The Horseshoe Curve Route would be great.

On Hold Due To Spyware

I'm looking forward to this map. Best wishes for the season.

Thanks
(I guess you know how it feels to have spyware)

hey, MAJOR UPDATE, I found a grey scale, here it is, I will convert it this week and touch it up by hand, hopefully V-1.0 betas out by Wednesday

thanks for the effort, I already did pics soon

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

the last of them

with screenshot 3, the climb near the tunnel entrance would be an area that the trains could have a problem with

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

two thing you could do
just short trains
shape the land scape more to make it easier

or a mix of both.
