Tracks and objects gone!

[Smaen]

Hello.
I just lost hours of work on my city in surveyor since Trainz (12) suddenly decided to "remove" alot of tracks and some objects.

It started when I was going to test something. When quickdrive started, the trolleybus (I was driving) was gone tocheter with all nearby tracks and every fixed tracks everywhere! Nothing (of the what disapeard) apeard again when I went back to surveyor or even restarted the game!

The only way I found to get the tracks back, was to attach a new track to a spline point, and remove it again. The problem with this is that many tracks dont connect, and get wierd turns (I dont use doibletracks).
I couldnt move the tracks either.

Why the **** do this happen???

allways make a back up of your route,,,,

Make sure your in the same session and don't have any hidden layers.

I have had things go missing on my, but found them hiding in a different session file, reloaded the game through the session, merged it with the main route, and that way I got most of the stuff back, but some I never saw again like a station, it was in the session kuid list, but never ever did show up in the game so I just put it back in manually.

Best of luck finding the files

best thing is to just use the route layer to put in building, track textures
session is for train cars,, and setting up the indies

I agree.

I have had hours of work disappear suddenly and I was unable to find out why. Eventually I found that it was saved in the session layer and that depending on settings, saving creates a new session. So all my work was saved over like 20 sessions. I got it all back by merging layers and stuff but that would be my first guess as to your issue.
