Getting mcguirel's Backdrops to Work

[jordon412]

I would like to get mcguirel's backdrops to appear in Surveyor so that I can use them on a Model Railroadz I'm making. Can anyone help, please?

Edit: If they cannot be fixed, are there any alternatives to these backdrops?

Yep the backdrops don't appear........
Just DL a v3.2

Did a quick repair with AssetX and added a track tag to cfg.
and bingo! it works.

If I could just figure out how to get AssetX to work . . .

I'm not sure if it applies to the ones that you are using, but the ones I've used in my Model Trainz layouts are only visible from one side. From the other they are totally invisible.

Try rotating the backdrop 180 degrees. Tell us if that works.

The backdrops I downloaded:
username Background Eastern Hillside 2"
Build 3.2
kuid <kuid2:72938:1002:2>
And
kuid <kuid2:72938:1009:2>
username "Background Eastern Industrial 1"

Do not display unless repaired !

If you are not successful with these try davesnow, he has a few nice one on the DLS.

I wish I was a better teacher.

If your model railroad is HO, try mine (KUID 275817 - ray_whiley). They re intended for UK OO (1:76) and simulate a model backdrop made of hardboard or plywood,
