Weather/ Faulty Old Payware Older Version issues / YTube Pics
Good Day all,
We just got thru a serious Rain with added Blizzard, it's been decades since I have seen this amount of Snow in our San Gabriel Mountains. The high winds were so bad, it ripped one off our Roof Ventilators, fortunately, I noticed in the middle of Rain Storm, minor water damage. Blue has been down this path before.....

We needed this Rain for the past 8 years, may be messy, but in the end, Severe Drought and Mega Fires is not a choice I would want, I have seen what damage it causes, in some cases, whole Towns erased, some never come back.
Now over to trains, I downloaded some small Routes of course older ones, had Faulty assets, and with some older Auran Assets, for whatever reason, it triggered 12 or so to become faulty after DBR rebuild, been down this Road several times. I also have problems with Payware Routes, older ones like ECML and Hinton, all showing Faulty or Missing Assets.. The Rub is, you can't delete or change Payware Routes, yes you can clone them, but that doesn't fix it either. ( I was able to fix just a couple of non Payware Assets in the Route
My hard decision, is I am going to have too, delete(uninstall) about 4-6 of my older Payware Routes to clean up that issue, there are no more updates to remedy the older out of Version 3.5 or lower is not supported anymore. That is known. Painfully, I'll have to go thru all my older Routes and Delete the Payware Assets out of each and everyone of them......
Then I should be clear of these issues, it has just gotten to the point I am frustrated and tired of seeing Missing or Faulty Auran assets that I can't disable, but the Payware Route still shows as faulty, it is the Disabled ones that cause the issue, if they are Auran.
Going to take a while, but I am determined to effect a Cure over seeing all these errors. As best I can.....
Here are some picks showing the process and Failure when trying clear the Faulty Auran and Payware issues....Basically the old version problems, like Windows, Word and other software, been there and done that for decades.

This was the first of 6 Payware Routes staked for Deletion. Due to Faulty Assets you can't really correct.

And numerous Faulty Routes from older Asset Versions, mainly 1 and 2.

Sometimes it takes 3-4 times to clear a Route of Faulty Assets, and sometimes it needs to be done Manually by Config.txt

More Positive note, you see assets with Night Mode Missing issues that can be fixed, depending on the Asset.

When I uninstalled Payware Routes, they not only delete the Payware, they also delete all the Assets in that Route, which are not Payware, that I have to re install them back into my other Routes.

Lots of Faulty signs.......

And this shows supposed items, no seen, being deleted.

Fretwork Rail install a Head Shunt - 7 1/4 Narrow Gauge - Stogursey Light Railway
https://youtu.be/BSXzFKEPmtw
On this latest video we join our track maintenance team 'Fretwork Rail'. The guitar enthusiasts who like to keep our permanent way in tip top condition. Today we join them as they make the finishing touches to the new head shunt that has been built in the station "A head shunt is a short length of track provided to release locomotives at terminal platforms, or to allow shunting to take place clear of main lines."
Tamping the track involves hard work and a good rhythm. Perfect for such a musical team. We also capture some footage of a harvest of apples being processed for the local market using our newish tipper wagons.

Happy early Turkey day! Here's a funny recording you probably heard an excerpt from in the Lac Megantic remaster documentary. Here's most of that recording in it's raw glory.

In the winter of 2022, Amtrak opened their newest station in Middletown, Pennsylvania on the Keystone Corridor so I stopped by to take a look, while also saying goodbye to one of my favorite rail fanning spots. The Keystone Corridor was abuzz with 50th Anniversary schemes on the diesel-powered Pennsylvanians, and the Phase III wrapped sprinter in regular electric service.
