I am aware of a dependency problem or a fault with that region, so it's worth checking that you have all of them.

Usually, yes.
The dependencies for a region are normally the vehicles.

I assume it hasn't got any missing dependencies then.

That may be part of the problem, as thumbnails are now a required item if you are using TS12.

Asset-X can help out if that doesn't fix it.

Yes, it has been established in a former thread that there is a problem with that region. Pity.

Another possibility is the road type used. Have you tried using different roads?

I use the "Age of Steam" region but to get it to show the correct traffic in TS2009SP4, TS2010 and TS12 you have to modify the kuids for the cars and change the region config file. N3V changed the type classification for traffic from scenery to trackside objects in these Trainz versions.
There is a good tutorial post which Zec did a couple of years ago to guide you through the changes but at the moment I have not been able to find it.
An alternative thread on this is called "tc3 traffic in 2010"
Basically the method is clone the cars referenced as dependancies for the region. Convert the clones into trackside objects then change the list of car kuids in the region config file to reference the new kuid numbers.
Zec was going to produce a traffic convertor to make the task easier but I have not check the DLS yet.

Thanks Scottish. That is most helpful.
Ive just gotten around to trying this out with one car and have a couple of questions about it that I am hoping someone can help out with.
First off the traffic converter will orientate the car the correct way round if it is facing the wrong way. But what if the car is already facing the right way? There does not seem to be an option for that and leaving out the option altogether causes a fault.
Second. It makes reference to the *.im mesh of the original vehicle. The problem I have come across is that the vehicle I choose has several *.im files. so what do I do when the vehicle has several *,im files? I input one *.im file and watched the body of the car going around quite happily - but it was only part of the car. When I attempted to add a second *.im file it became faulty. On this issue Im wondering if its just my lack of syntax knowledge on how to word it to accept multiple *.im files? Anyone got any clues?
Apart from that I can say that it does work. I need to try it out with other vehicles and would welcome some input - but it does put traffic on the roads.
Edit: In the readme file that gives the instructions on how to use it, Zek makes reference to a second part of the document to deal with the first issue. But there is no second part of the documentation.
