If you haven't noticed by now...

It's up.

The funniest part is if you do a search for the name "Virginian & Ohio Afton Division v3", the DLS won't find it. At least, that was the result I got. I can find it by plugging in "Afton Division" when searching by title or "45588" when searching by KUID.

There are a couple of dependencies that are required that I had to customize.

Outstanding switchstands on the DLS with red-green targets for mainline use, but I had to make yellow-green targets for siding and yard switches. I uploaded them without the mesh - you will have to copy and paste one back into each folder of each item. I've been e-mailing and PM-ing the guy who made them for several years (since 2006?) with no answer. Since I use this switchstand all the time, and I'm not about to go changing them all out (thousands?!), this was a huge hurdle holding me up.

I think I use these switchstands more than the previous ones. Not all of 'em out in the real world are lit. (Well, maybe they are THESE days...)

I got permission to reskin the Proxing crossings with a wood texture in place of the rubber grid stuff. I use them a lot, too. They've been up on the DLS since February.

I RAISE THE RAILWAY INSURRECTION!!!!

WRAAGGHHH!

(Okay what just happened there?)

BTW, off to download. Love the V&O. I've got a plan to use the Cass #5 shay on the KC&B like they used to use a heisler.

No..?
He was just running a CSX unit on the route...
By the way...
You guys do realize that running antiquated 2 bay coal cars, phased out by late WWII era, do not go with C40-8s?

Seems to be some issues with the engines, not all of them show up, and can't find the hornsound files for some of them, (I'm going on the assumption thats the problem, as the not all of Nikos1's hornsounds are on the DLS), you wouldn't know where kuid2:45324:50015:1 is sitting at would you?

Also, whats with that U30C, it seems to have the trucks, (bogies) tucked up under the frame just a little too far!!!:hehe:

 

[betsy662]

Another one, kuid219472:1814 which is the hornsound for some of the SD40-2's, someone wouldn't also know where that one is would they? Also one that isn't on the DLS, and doesn't download with the locos!!!:'(

Has anybody heard from Adam (CincySouthernRwy) lately? I've been trying to contact him about the Laurel Line items he made for me a while back. His last activity was on June 17 and his PM box is full. I did send an email to him but had no reply. Did he quit Trainz?
