Last I herd was a couple of years ago. Nothing since. He passed all his content permissions on to me before he left. I have the email from him. Bill

True. But if I ever want to put it up on the DLS, the cloned roads must go up as well, and that may be problematic as they aren't my content. I do agree that assigning certain vehicles to a certain road is a great way to go, but that will probably never happen. It bugs me to see a huge semi...

I am nearing completion on a Japanese route and have come up against a problem. Many of the tiny alleys restrict traffic to bicycles and the like with NO autos or trucks. Whereas, the larger roads and superhighways have tons of traffic. I seem to remember a method from way back that described...

Jumping in here from a position of near-ignorance, isn't there a rule like "control next switch" or "toggle the next switch?" If there was, then might that work to move the points of a derail to ON and OFF? Or, am I off base here? (I usually am.) Bill

To me, they look like the ends of the concrete sleepers, highlighted by a spectral setting. As an experiment, try raising a litle bit of the ground under the track and see if they get covered. Bill

I have quite a bit of N-gauge models, both for Japanese rail and US. Even a couple of German engines in HO. Building up and tearing down every few years while in the Navy took me out of the "real" modeling scene. Now, I can build whatever routes I want using Trainz. Bill

For faulty, you need to see what the error is and find a way to fix it. Without specific examples, that's about all I can say. For missing, that's more difficult as then you should post it in the "missing KUIDs" thread, and go looking by using Google and other search engines. That's about it. Bill

I am modeling an intensely populated region of Japan (the old Towanda-Kanko Line) and need a vast amount of "spaghetti" streets lines with tiny little houses. I built a square half-kilometer of those densely populated streets with houses, gardens, etc., then did a copy/paste wherever I needed...

Some crossing boards might keep that driver from being jounced around. ;) Bill

I used a track's signal bridge in a couple of cases. There are several. Some are fixed width and others are splines so you can stretch them across of a lot of pipes. Bill

Missing Spline! That's what I was trying to think of. Thanks, John. Bill

I had a problem like that way back in TANE. Details are hazy, but I'm sure I cloned a track and gave it the KUID of the missing track, called it MissingTrack, and then drag/dropped it back into CM. This way, once you re-entered the route,the white lines are gone (replaced by the other track)...

I ran across something similar to that. Turned out I hadn't extended the LEFT side of the margin square far enough, and the program truncated the build. Bill

Your download speed will increase dramatically once you purchase an FCT. My current download speed is around 12.5 MEGAbytes per second. But then, I also have a gigabit fiber optic Internet. Bill

LOL. the engine looks cross-eyed, @Bartoszko: Bill
