Hey, I just wanted to thank you for putting this site together. I just picked up SMR cheap last week and have been enjoying it so far. Was hoping that there were placed to download player-made maps somewhere, and I stumbled across this site. I haven’t tried to install any yet (I’m still working through the game’s maps and scenarios) but I’m sure I will.
Keep up the good work! I look forward to seeing more maps added.

Great map, runs with no problems, challenging but not frustrating.
I got to thinking since you guys made a Chicago to the Rockies map, think you can do a New York to Chicago map? I’d love to build the route of the Twentieth Century Limited!

Excellent map.
Chicago-Detroit requirements were the main obstacle. Clear sailing after that.

So.. here’s an interesting failure mode. Every time I try to connect a Taconite Car (ore or pellets) to any locomotive newer than the Consolidation, the game crashes. Doesn’t matter if it’s in game mode or table top mode. Doesn’t matter if I use a “clean” user folder with only this map installed or if I add other locomotives or what-have-you to the map. It simply does not like the Taconite Cars. Any ideas?

Excellent map… I had a blast playing this! The first part was hard duse to time limit but still, fun fun fun

Great map, quite challenging when you have some AI opponents to get in the way of constructing that long line across to Denver. I had a similar problem as Socrates (though not the one with the hemlock) where when I upgraded my fish train from Green Bay to Milwaukie, it crashed unless I did it a step at a time i.e. upgrade locomotive first, then add additional cars etc.

Thank you for the great map. I ran it smoothly with no problem at all.
Only challenging for me was 30 passenger from Chicago to Denver in time, but I found solution for that second time. Other than that it’s no problem.

I ran the SAM from Bobby’s site and then downloaded and ran the one from this site. Both ran the Taconite ore mine to Deluth route just fine.
Do you have anything in CustomAssets?
Are you upgraded to the RailroadsPatch1.10?
What version of Windows are you using? I have 8.1 and the largest maps refuse to work correctly. This map has darkened ground in blocks around the trees. I suspect that if I run it longer it will crash with a lot of trains running. My brother, who is using Win 10, has no problem running any of the maps. For some people it depends on the system they are running.

Everything else runs fine in the game it’s just when I go to place a depot at the mine site it crashes. Also on the map it shows only a red dot where the mine is. Yes I’m running Patch 1.10. Running Windows xp. I even tried to run just Deluth depot start over to the mine and it crashes when I place a depot. Thanks

Ahhhhh, the devilish RED DOT!!!!!
If you try to run an engine that does not have the file(s) for it, you will get a red dot. The red dot for where the mine is means that the files seem to be messed up.
Found the problem with the mine. You have to use map shifter to load the map into the user map area. Didn’t know that I just went into the zip file and copied and pasted it. When i used the map shifter it showed up normal and was able to play the whole game. Thanks

Go here: http://smrsimple.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=4699 and try that copy. It uses a folder for the files and not an FPK. Put everything into UserMaps.
You can also try this site: http://www.sidmeiersrailroads.net/ That site has over 180 maps posted and a few more on the way.
