1. I found that my copy of TRS's Railyard contains the City of Truro and SR01 after having downloaded them as part of Agatha's Country Tour. The CMP says that the City of Truro has 3 faulty dependencies - front truck, middle truck, and the interior. ??? I put the engine into a layout - it runs fine. It's a 4-4-0, with all wheels, valve gear, etc. present. The cab interior looks fine to me.
SR01 looks and runs good. I did not check on what's supposed to be wrong with it. These are TRS 2004 assets, so maybe 2006 doesn't recognize something about each and thinks they are faulty.
SR 0-4-4T M7 class is listed in the Railyard, but there is no model shown, and it cannot be placed into a session. Guess there really is something wrong with it.
reply 1(I am not a computer techy and have copied over saved/archived stuff from 2004 to when it came out, I haven't fixed anything faulty. As I said in an earlier reply I checked everything was not showing as faulty before I uploaded. Yet next day the SR goods van was showing as faulty - but was working fine when I ran the session)
2. I searched out City of Truro directly on the DLS. Tried to download its Pack independently of the CMP. It would not download??? I was properly logged in with a FCT, but no download. Maybe I did something wrong.
reply 2: When I download stuff I tend to use the old 2004 interface having first checked the 2006 box - firstly the CMP from 2006 seems to run at least 24 hours behind the '04 site - when I click the download helper the item appears in the download box on the 06 programme. I don't know if this creates the problem)
3. While making another attempt to install Agatha's Country I, the map, CMP stalled - let it go over an hour and it never found what it was looking for while searching (as shown on the status bar). That was longer than was required on the first (and faulty) installation already discussed. So, I closed it out. Then I restarted my computer. I had discovered on earlier occasions that closing CMP while it is frozen has bad effects on subsequent use of the computer. As on such previous occasions, Windows had trouble closing - Jet was still running and would not respond, so I was given one of those dialog boxes you get for a non-responding program you are trying to close with ctrl-alt-delete.
reply 3

I am beginning to have some serious doubts about the 06 programme, I have had similar problems with the computer. Mine is an e-machines 2.8ghz, 80gb hard drive, 256mb ddr.
The only problem if I revert to 04, is that I will have to build a new version of the layout - which has taken over 2 years to-date....
I get the hic-cups and stuttering when running especially through the built up areas and stuttering going over points which seems to dump the sound effects.)
4. I tried to open Agatha's map. Extremely long time. Opened up a bit, then a little bit more, etc. When I thought it was finally open, I could not move the compass - then I could move it a little - in big jumps. I finally closed it down. Then I closed TRS. This produced error boxes, and I restarted the computer again -- same as with closing a frozen CMP, Jet was till running and would not respond.
5. I've deleted the map and the tour.
Keith, I wonder if there is simply too much content. I got Murchison Logging from Sirgibby -- all three versions - huge route. He packaged it so that it could be run either as a standard version or a high-quality version, the latter being for high-power machines. The difference between the two is the amount of non-trackage content in each. My machine is 2.8 ghz with 1 gig of ram. Forget the specs on my video card, but they are fairly good - upgraded last year. His standard version runs well on my computer, but the high-power version stutters along. I can move around in it very well in Surveyor, too.
Also, Sirgibby packaged Murchison in a content file, as in Import Content. It imported fairly quickly, and then all I had to do was commit it.
The point is that for a very large and complex route, it may be that the DLS is not well suited as a means of transferring everything.
That's just a theory!
