    TS12 EDR Crashes, CM freezes PC, lessons learned, and more...

    First the backstory: After a very long hiatus (almost 5 years), I cracked open TS12 again with a fresh 1st class ticket - knowing I'd have content to update before anything happened. First thing I'm greeted by is the dreaded mandatory "updating database".... the EDR. First two times attempting...

    JR Dk Grey - rusty??

    Been using Norfolksouthern37's JR Dk Grey track throughout my WIP route, but can't find anything similar that's rusty - anybody have any ideas? I know there's a few folks using the same track, I figured somebody had found one that will match up.

    Safetran signal correct usage?

    I'm getting some strange aspects from Justin's Safetrans signals, probably because I'm misusing them. Is it correct that the 06 (LD or RD) signals are for sidings in place of the old built in 02L and 02? Also on the other side of the switch where you'd have used the built in 04 it should be a...
