Thanks everyone. I think I'll just stay in '19. I just don't see it would be worth the jump. I can't believe they haven't revised those 10m dig holes. I rarely use cab mode, so I just drop a black plane in the portal and forget it.

I'm too old to learn new tricks, so the new surveyor is of no interest to me. It looks way too complicated and real life issues has my head in a tiolet swirl right now anyway. but I am interested in the small grid function. Is this ability a frame killer that needs to be used sparingly? Does it...

I thought this was going under the USA sub-forum. Feel free to relocate if desired...thanks

I just thought I'd share a couple shots of a layout I've been playing with for the last year or so. It started life from the Hungry Horse trackplan and morphed into this, Carrizo Gorge Narrow Gauge Located deep in Southern Californa, near the Mexican border , the railroad provides services...

Radu closed down his site and moved all his stuff to the DLS. I'll contact him and ask him to check in. Done...email sent.

Well, I did clone the truck and renamed it unique to these cars. After a little fiddling with the coach down .2 and trucks up .2 seemed to hit the nail on the head! Thanks for the tip. "Teach a man to fish, and he can feed himself!" '][/URL]

Great! I'll have to play with that. I figured I was stuck with the height without the mesh. Question about adjusting the trucks... I'm thinking I'd have to clone the trucks and dedicate them to the particular car?

Well, That didn't work out as planned. These are standard gauge so it's not as simple as plugging in NG trucks. Due to the height difference, most NG trucks leave a wide gap between the bolster and the car, while pushing the wheels into to tracks. These are Ben Dorsey's cars. HIS 3ft trucks work...

Perfect John! Thanks... Now I just need to marry them to a set of 3ft trucks...Hopefully Archbar! '][/URL]

Thanks, yeah... I'm still in contact with Rich and use most of his stuff. He still has the same interest in that type of railroading but has moved on to "hands-on" modeling. It's amazing how Trainz has transformed since those days. That type of rr'ing with todays technology would be the prefect...

Yeah, thanks. I have all of Trainboi's stuff. VERY nice content, but I was hoping to find something even shorter. You might say almost "whimsical" short. Just my little niche in the hobby I guess. When it comes to model railroading, Malcum Furlow was my hero. He always teetered on the edge of...

Thanks... I'll check them out

I wasn't sure where to put this. Anyone know of any nice 3ft shorty coaches and/or combines? Thanks in advance! It seems any interest in this type of thing is rapidly dwindling.

I stripped the config of everything "locomotive related" and changed it to Kind: Scenery light 1 description "Clone for personal use." obsolete-table { } mesh-table { default { auto-create 1 mesh...
