User blog:SamwiseFilmore/Trains in Middle Earth!

As some of you may know, I've been following the (open-sourced) development of the traincraft mod (Github here). After many months, they've finally pushed a 1.7.10 release of the mod, which is very exciting for me (Curse here. As a fan of both mods, I've been dreaming of putting traincraft lines in ME. I've always wanted to be able to transport goods by rail in Middle earth. Imagine it, a trans-ME line running from Lindon all the way to the far end of the Iron hills. Or a line straight through the deserts of Near Harad connecting all the factions along there, and allowing for the transport of exotic creatures in bulk from Far Harad to anywhere in the continent. Other resources could be transported as well. I'm very excited for this new possibility, and would encourage everyone to at least try it.

But there's more! I also come to you with a request. If someone who runs a server (or would like to) would start a TC LOTR server, it would definetly be a cool thing. Both of these mods thrive in MP, and it would be great to see people moving through ME on trains, maybe even fighting over (or blowing up) rail lines between key depots. A very good thing, and you might even be able to convince me to play on it full time! :P
