Thanks for the kind reception and the valued tips, much appreciated. I own up that I haven’t yet downloaded anything at all, but oh, the possibilities are there. Had a try (pure vanilla) which kind of started alright, but when it reached around 40 people, suddenly they died of starvation. So I have to get to grips that 1000 food isn’t all that much.


... and it should’ve been “joined”, curse you AutoCorrect!

... and I am not a native English speaker, so if you find any errors in spelling or grammar, please don’t hesitate to ignore them.

Chapter 5


  In early spring of year 5 Chann and Kareeman returned.  It was quite a hike through those railway tunnels.   Everyone back home was fine and work on the tracks was going well.  Their calculations were exact and the rail tracks would join up perfectly with ours.  We hung on every word they had to say about the railway and about the holiday back home.

 By the time the 2 men returned work on the train engine was well underway.  The engine was built on the track by the coal mine and when it was finished it was taken on a test drive around the turn-around.  The whole town was there to see the test run.  It was slow and noisy but the deer did scatter and the tracks were cleared. 


   



  The engine was brought to a halt at the edge of town and work on 2 train cars began.  A material car could carry resources and a general car tools and textiles.  Both cars needed a lot of iron and we had farther to go to collect it.  The 2 cars were finished by late autumn.  A brief midwinter thaw gave us time to build a food car also. The Dwarven miners that joined our town were a great help in the design and construction of the iron train cars. 

  The miners also advised us on the construction of a large mine next to the abandoned tunnel.  From the mine's main shaft a side shaft would be built to the unfinished train tunnel. The shaft would extend through the iron ridge to the other side.  Iron, rock, and coal would be brought out through the mine and later completing the tunnel would be much easier.  One of the miners from the coal mine got to work immediately but it would be slow going and a very long time before a train would be able to travel through that mountain ridge.

WOW you woke up the great PILGRIM.how'd you do that?  what is new ,where have you been,PILGRIM? 

YEAR 53

           we plant another tea and peach orchard.  it takes almost 3yrs for the tea orchard to produce. i do think the tea is in-edible since none of the bannies have any in their houses.

      a bath house was added and more huts and houses.so far the only thing i added to these sets was storage and KID's gardens.even the beekeeper is from the african mods.

If you are good with it, I will bump this up to a pinned thread with the other makers lists.
