Hello everyone! I'm going to keep this one shorter than usual because I'm short on time and it's also short month (dad joke alert 🚨).
The P&B is done! Well kinda. The scenery is complete enough for me to be comfortable releasing it to the public but there's still a lot to be done before then. After this week's monthly Patreon livestream, I'll be shipping the route out for signaling, then all that's left will be final details, trackmarks and all that plus a base session or two. (also working on updating that roster but that's going to come at a later date) I've been adding final details and traffic all over and it's looking more alive than ever.
So we're closer than ever at this point.
You're probably wondering what's going to happen with the route after its released. Welp, after a bit of a break I'm going to start on Phase III which will basically be a full overhaul of much of the Phase I sections. Allegheny really, like really needs an overhaul. The city is absolutely not up to my current standards and the steel mill needs to be more prototypical. I also want to clean up Old Town and Vonny as there are a lot of really old assets used on them. There's also a lot of texturing and scenery that could be updated for a more cohesive experience across the map. So I got some plans.....🙃
I'll leave you guys some eye candy at the bottom of this post.

Patreon Benefits:
Executive: The P&B route download will be available after the Monthly Livestream. I want you guys to have the most complete version available as I'm working on it. I'll also provide an updated download once the route is back from being signaled.
Project Manager: The monthly asset has already been released if you missed it. It was another NYC style mixed use building asset with 3 variations. Very nice 😏
Station Agent: I had to cancel the first hangout of the month because I wasn't feeling well and it looks like the next one falls on Valentines Day. So I'm going to have to figure out a Plan B weekday or weekend to make sure you guys don't get gypt (is that how you spell that word?) this month. Just keep an eye on the Discord for announcement. I'll try to give some advanced notice there.
Model Railroader: I'll have something for you guys this month. Likely a track plan or discussion about some of the N Scale equipment I recently acquired.

And that's about it for now.
Let me know what part's of the P&B you're most excited to explore once it's released!
