    Nice! Now, I've got a reason & Example to go with the Question, with ORTS do You still need DIT Files for that many Units( though. Like in Real Life,..You're Displaying Them being Transferred by The GEs )?
    ORTS has some nice features that appear when you left click on a unit in the F9 window. I simply click "Toggle Power, Toggle MU Connection, Toggle Battery Switch" This will give the feel and appearance of them being dead in tow on the trip. The only thing ORTS doesn't seem to do correctly at the moment, is actually kill the lights and sounds on those units, as the ground lights were still on and the sounds still produce the "idle" sound versus completely shut off.





    BNSF empty grain train meets a loaded coke train.

              WMRC's Gilman Local heads for Gilman, VT with traffic for Steep Falls, Fryeburg, Whitefield, and Gilman itself, trailing behind a B40-8 and a former MEC GP38.

                    Not sure what I did to lose the switch targets. They show up in TSRE just fine..

                    But, a packed yard, is always a good sign.

                            BNSF 5441, 5510, and MRL 251 struggle up the Mullan Pass out of Helena with a short but somewhat heavy train.
