Hi Tyler,

I have seen a thread with this infomration before. There is something on the dls that can tell you how long a route is by placing a marker at either end. The only requirement is that all points/switches are set so that one marker can 'see' the other.

I will have a dig around and see if I can find it unless someone else gives you the answer first

Tyler,

Have a look at this thread http://forums.auran.com/trainz/showthread.php?t=43024 or search 'Mile Post Spline' to find it.

There are a couple of references to a track scanner that can measure distance but some seem to think that there are accuracy problems with it

It may be worth a try though?

You can also just drive a train and look at the odometer...use the display custom HUD rule.

I seem to remember the was an odometer (mileometer) you could add to a loco cab.....

mc Display Custom HUD V2,<kuid2:61392:1070:1> has an odometer.

Thank you very much everyone! After I had posted this I saw the Milepost spline thread so, yea woops. But I will try the odometer, or do what they did in the other thread, and make a mile long train.

Thanks again for your help!
