Tramway project left me with one big calamity

[rjhowie]

Some time ago I built the whole of the former vast Glasgow Tramway system covering over 260 odd boards (it closed in 1962). This year I bought a newer and much better pc for my sim side of things and transferred the tram kuid from the previous machine into this one. The tramway was in TRS09 and I copied it into TRS10 (both pcs Windows 7). Although also busy with a big Irish project I went back to this to slowly crawl through missing buildings and such. However I got quite a shock to see that all the tramway poles have vanished and only the overhead wires remain. Also completely gone are all the tram stops. They were yellow with round yellow tops including and "H" (think were Aussie).

The tracks are there and buildings (occasional gaps but can fill them) but to try and redo every tram stop even if I knew what it was would be a put-off as would be the missing tram poles. Both run into actual hundreds. I had went back to the tramway as I felt it was overdue for general use and a fellow Trainzer had offered to go over it for me. It will probably mean that when it does go to the DLS enentually there will be no tram stops and no poles! The thought os being a tortoise with over 100 miles of tramlines putting in stops and moving them about is not something I can stretch to. Building the former Glasgow network was a long, long effort and nearly threw the towel in at times as it was the largest outside London. All I can do is when it does get to the upwards stage is to remind folk that there are no poles or stops! Just couldn't believe what happened

Disappointing but stuck with this one I am afraid. If you want to get an idea of how big this is have a look at .....

  Moonfruit has automatically changed their layout and completely changed my site so the previous colours, etc are gone!

Have you checked if CMP has the poles and stops installed and if so are not faulty or missing a dependant asset. Don't see them on the DLS so may have been 3rd party ones and need to be transferred from your 09 assets.

Hi
The tram stops with the round yellow top and H were almost certainly German (their standard design for bus or tram stops - Haltestelle). So, as a starting point for searching for missing assets, was there a German route in TRS09 which is not in TRS10?
Good luck

Checked to see if I still had T2009 and it is on a portable drive so will load it on an old pc to see if can find the poles. But the oddity is the poles and wires were part and parcel of the same item. not two seperate things! They were also created from distant memory by a regular Trainzer so will see what i can discover on that one at the weekend.

The poles may have been created by them but may have used the wire as a dependant asset.

They were by Silversmith and were TRS2004 and still available on the DLS. Will see what faults show up when re-install 09. On such a massive tramway this has been unfortunate!

The assets have some minor faults in them that should be repaired, especially if you want to use them in future versions of Trainz. These are mostly texture errors which are quickly despatched using PEVs tools.

This is indeed unfortunate. If some encouragement to keep working on the layout will lessen your disappointment you certainly have mine.
