Now available for you is the Rascal & Cottonwood route. This is for Rail Simulator only folks, so if you have it, come and get it. But please note that you will also need two add-ons for the route. The first is RSDLs Foliage Pack available from www.railsimulator.com ($7.00 USD). You will aso need 3dTrains Rural Landscape Pack by Marc Nelson. This pack comes in two varities. The first version is the hi-res pack which sells for $12.50. I strongly recommend this option! The low-resolution version is available at no charge. See 3dtrains.com (the forums for the low-res version) for this package. Use the link above to browse the newest available route package from All Aboard!

For a month and a half you probably think I have been hiding! Well, kinda. I've been working on a new project and it's ready to be released. Tonight? Probably. And if you're a Rail Simulator fan or have Rail Simulator, look out because this new project is for Rail Simulator. Introducing the Rascal And Cottonwood. A 16-20 mile route featuring very very detailed scenery, a few scenarios and a manual. I'll have more details shortly, so stay tune and. What? You want to see proof? Okay, I have some. First check out my thread here: My Distraction And if that's not enough, check out the Garberdrome at Ed's site where you can watch a video of the route I made a couple of weeks ago. Right here!

More BIG NEWS!!! Well, to me it is...

1) Hollywood is back! You know the routine. Check the Hawk's Garberdrome for my newest movie on the East Metro Rebuild. About 2.5 minutes and much clearer and larger than my previous works. This one has 'just gotta' get me an Emmy this year. Music is my own composition and that's me on the drums! (Don't laugh, I play sax).

2) See All Aboard starting in November's issue of Model Railroader! That's right, All Aboard is in the ad game now. Because of this All Aboard has a new domain. If you have your own site and you link to All Aboard, please begin changing your links to www.allaboardrails.com. At the end of the year, EDMFamily.com will no longer be used. And the website will be getting a facelift.

3) Possibly I will be starting up my own forum again. It was fun the first time around but again, this forum would be mostly for customer support issues though we may talk shop a time or two. Look for this to happen some time in November.

BIG NEWS!! Well, kind of. Three happenings in the world of All Aboard you should be aware of.

1) East Metro Activity Ten-Pack #26-#35 NOW AVAILABLE for the East Metro Rebuild! Ten extra activities featuring CLW's East Metro SD7's. Includes walk-thru pdf. Includes revised schematics. And it's free. These activities are grueling, designed to test your mettle. But these aren't puzzles. No sir. These are railroading situations that will require some knowledge of real railroad maneuvers. Just go to the East Metro page (see links above) and scroll down to the bottom of the page. Installation is very easy!

2) East Metro Patch. Small, very small but I like my routes to be perfect. The patch is 730a (for the date) and thus far and probably will be the only patch there is for the East Metro Rebuild. You can also download this file from the East Metro page (see links above) and then scroll down to the bottom of the page. Installation is very easy!

3) PHASE 1 is complete! Of what you ask? All Aboard is doing away with edmfamily.com and it's now *drum roll please* allaboardrails.com. Just type in allaboardrails and wholla, you're here! Please pass the word and to any site you see with my links to edmfamily.com, ask them to change the link to allaboardrails.com. The next phase, Phase 2, will happen in two to three months where the usage of edmfamily.com will cease to exist altogether. This will effect your receipt links so please, save your files someplace safe!
