Jib I have a loco's I would like to use but they are not on the DLC, Yes they are freeware and would require 3 CDP's and some DLC dependencies. Let me know if that is possible. The other thing is it is a four pack of skins with different numbers. If not I have others that I can use. Also will we have generic tank cars IE UTLX etc?

Still Danny, I need the KUIDS of the 6 cars you would like to use. Also note that I am assigning iPortal ids. Look to the OP to see what ID's to use and who your sending trains to.
Ken, send me a PM with the link to download them and Ill see what I can do. As for the cars, I want to make a consists file like I did with MRL with all the cars that we will use. I will include some other cars in it that I feel we might need. But I also want to make sure to include cars that others want. This way we all get to have a little of what we want and still have plenty of rolling stock in our network.

I asked about those cars because generally they were privately owned and probably would not be in anyone list but they are needed.

You will only be sending to 2 people with this system. To the person to the east and to the west of you. So you only need 2 portals.
Trainsim, I want the kuids. Is that too much to ask for? I've only said it at least 5 times now. "PM me a list of locomotives and rolling stock with kuids."
Do I need to make it any clearer? Is that some how too much to understand? Is it too hard to read the original post where the rules are set up and laid out? Some of you have read them, and are doing a good job at following them. But there seams to be many people who dont and it really irritates me.
Need more some thing.....

sorry jib. I was getting the kuids ready when a Mud slide took out the power lines and part of the train tracks. I'll get the kuids ready and sent to you when I get home.
No problem can do.

I have an idea. I'm going to DL a map from Checkrail.com and look it over to see if i can use any of the industries. Also my theory is that if everyone has downloaded a locomotive from a site it should work, but its just a theory. Also jib hold off on my rolling stock please because i need to see if i can use any of the industries.

If I send you a train that has any thing in it that you have not downloaded, be it a car or locomotive or even product, you will not receive it. This is why I am collecting content from people now. This way I know that we all have the same content and. If the content comes form a 3rd party web site and we all have it, then it works. But Id like to limit 3rd party content. I think the only exception I have made to that rule is for Ken. But I have yet to pull down his conentet just yet and see. So that exception isn't 100% yet.

OK after looking one map over i have no clue what industries produce what nor could i find them at all... so i'm back to plan A in building my own. so jib its a green light on my rolling stock and locomotives.
Jib i would stay fast at NOT using any 3rd party stuff i've been though that when we did iportaling in 06.
Let one then everybody will want to use stuff from every where that puts out rolling stock then you spend months down loading from 20 sites. By then nobody wants to play/join. Did that done that.
I thank the best way is for everybody put a CDP of there session(only) in a teamspeak web bewer so every one can DL it
and install it making sure they will have all there rolling stock.Then they can delete the session.
Another thing about each one of us is that if one of us uses something that we don't have then we lose a hold train that mabe we all had a part in building. I have one train on my route that has one car each of the 6 that i will be sending out on the first session we do & when you get it you should put 6 of your car with it & send it on.
Am i correct that we use 6 difference cars but as many of those as we need or want?

Im going to be making the same type of file I did when we where using MRL. A consist that you can place in session and have a good mix of the cars we will use.
But yes, Danny, you can have as many of those six cars. This is why I recommend using cars that have ARN.
If we did as Danny suggested then I would have to bow out as I stated before, for PRR the good engines are payware and the reasonable engines are not on the DLC or are missing DLC dependencies.
As for cars I am waiting on getting 2 cars modified with commodities before posting them but I can send you my passenger car list and a partial freight car list.

As a safety precaution for not losing trains, players should make a set of tracks off to the side that is about a mile in length. Before a player sends a train, they would clone the train over into their "yard" so as not to lose it in the eventuality that the iPortalled train does not make it through.
Moshi, before you join it would be best for you to register your version of the game at Planet Auran. There is a button at the top of the page for getting there.

I did just that, I have a 3 board long staging yard at each end ~ 3 tracks but can add more if needed. I send my trains to the staging yard VIA AI then do the iPortal manually.
