New project idea based off of Western game

There are several cabooses in the file library on this site and many other web sites. Check out the links on this site or do some Google searches.. RW creates consists in the editor. You need to be reading the Creator Manual that is available from the start menu of the sim, and it wouldn't hurt to look at the online RS.com wiki where they dig into more detail. Just about everything you need is documented in those places, at least enough to get you started.

Thank you. I wanted to try and find a caboose in the default stock before i start downloading a lot of stuff. I did find plenty of cabooses in the file library so i'll probably choose one of them.

Ok, this is driving me crazy and i'm almost fed up with the engine not cooperating. I'm laying track just fine. this route for the most part is a lot of elevations and a little bit of straight and level track in areas. But when i try to lay track with small elevations, the track goes vertical and i'm stuck with the track like that and i can't fix it unless i delete the track. I had this problem before and i think i fixed it, but now i have no idea what i did. Please help me with this.

Check and see if you are using track and track rule that uses grade "%" or "1n0. per (variable in meters)". I have found that if I have been used to using "%" (like 2.0 = 2% in the gradiant setting) then when I switch to using a track with the "1in0 per x" settimg (100.00 in the gradient setting = 1% or 1 meter in 100 meters). If you accidentally put a "1" in the gradient setting on a track set up with the 1in0 style, you will get a gradient of 1 meter in 1 meter, a very steep gradient, indeed. The same thing can happen with the % tracks if you accidentally slip a decimal place with fumble fingers (which I do now and then). If you look at the bottom of the edit page while highlighting a piece of track you will see the current gradient setting for the track. Here you will see which type it is and what it is set at. Even your vertical track should show a gradient setting that should give you a clue as to what the problem was.

You should be able to bring one of these mistakes into line with the gradient tool.by pulling down the yellow arrow at the end. If that doesn't work, you can only delete the segment and do it over.

Back in the RailSimulator days I used to get these almost vertical tracks popping up every so often for no good reason (and often couldn't be deleted), but after Railworks release I haven't seen any more, except when I made one of the mistakes mentioned above.
