My MSTS route project Narva-Johvi (Estonia)

[Railion 1600]

Because at this site many nice Estonian trains can be downloaded, I want to use the Dash 7-30/36C locomotives owned by EVR and I think this is a nice route to build as my first MSTS route, I decided to build the railway between Narva and Johvi in Estonia for MSTS. At this moment, I'm building the situation near Narva, Google Earth is a very useful tool to find information about some buildings, track situations, platforms and many other things, but because it are just aerial photos, I don't know things like speeds, sings, signals and track numbers. If someone can explain how I can post screenshots of the current status, I will sure place them. And, as always, are pictures of course welcome.

Good luck with your map, too bad it is not on Trainz :)

Posting pictures is simple, find an picture hosting site and link them up, but please make previews no bigger then 360 pixels wide.

I have some pictures of the situation (This was the situation of yesterday evening, at this moment, there are a few things done).

Will you do any prototype objects for that route?
Good luck :)

Railion 1600, well done! One question: This is diesel loco route or electric loco? If electric - what the type of current? 25 kV AC or 3 kV DC?

[Submissive]

Evgenyi, it's diesel route. There used 2ТЭ116, ЧМЭ3, ДР1а, ТЭП70, C36-7 and C30-7.

if you need a program to introduce high trackbed, PM me.

How do you mean with a high trackbed? If you post a screenshot, I can decide if I want it or not.

Oh... it's very nice, that another one Baltic route'll be in MSTS world :) Good luck! ;)
Will it be real or semi-real route?

[Railion 1600]

It will be a real route, but of course I have to take some compromises, because the aerial pictures from Google Earth contains some clouds, for example.

[Mars92]

In MSTS fully real route it's impossible to make :( But you can make maximum 85% of reality in MSTS i think ;)

I've made some newer screenshots (I'm sorry for the quality, but I was busy, but I hope you still can get an impression of the route:D)

I'm sorry that I didn't share information about the project for a while, but I can say that the project is still alive!

And I have some pictures:

Where can I find information like track numbers, speed limits, mileposts and signal placings?

@Mars92: I don't know if you have once built a route (or you have tried to do it), but it's an obsession for me to make everything so real as possible.

[Railion 1600]

I really need some help from anyone, because I got the error Failed to load track database. I know that there was something wrong in the track database, and of course, I wanted to solve this problem, but I'm afraid I'll never be able to do that. So I hope that someone can help me, or the route should be considered as lost. If I can't save the route, I won't restart this project, but I'm going to build another route in Estonia, whereof more information can be found.
