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...

'][/URL] Something like this?

I use imgbb.com also. I use the bbs full link and works fine.

Well, this sure sours things for me. So how far back do you have to go to get around this DMR stuff?

Thanks.. I actually came back to ask that exact question. What is the last stand-alone product they made? I guess you answered that. Now I'm off to see if it's still available! Thanks for the reply...... and the answer is "of course not"! The only TANE available is digital. Well, I'm off to...

So one day if N3V decides to close shop, it'll be all gone? Unless of course they make some sort of a work around for current customeers. It may sound like a doomsday post, but it happens!

So you can only open Trainz if you're online? I didn't know that. To be honest I never tried. I always thought when your key was validated, it was fully installed locally.
