I think your guess about the "Stop At" is correct. When pushing a consist, the "Stop At" is applicable to the leading end (the end furthest from the locomotive). I have found this out the hard way...

I'm hoping so too! ;)

I think my greatest wish for an MSTS route would be some Rock Island in Illinois. Other than that, any North American route with decent trackwork and scenery is always...

I'm not an expert on these matters, but here is one thing to try:

While editing the shape, at the very top there is a section called "shader_names". Within this section, is there a shader labeled...

ADFRR: A Dual-Fictional Railroad. My favorite version was the Cascade & North Western. There were many activities built for that route as a "virtual railroad" system. Though that has since closed...

More specifically, it was nearly ALL payware. 3Dtrains Feather River route. I attempted to remove the payware from that route to see if it could be made available again. All that was left was...

The Meridian Speedway route is in Mississippi. It should be here (?) in the file library. Sold to Midsouth in the 80's, then KCS.

The IC Route in the file library is from almost 20 years ago. ...

The LSR&C is a nice representation of north-central Illinois. The modifications I made to the route include changing the ballast texture and altering the color of the microtex.ace to match, and also...

The available routes that I use are the LaSalle, Rockford & Central here in file library, and the East Metro and Canton routes by Rich Garber (I think they are still for sale from his website?), plus...

I'm glad to hear you got the issue sorted out! I aliased the 2D cabview and sound to the Default SD40-2 because I figured most folks would re-alias them to their favorite sounds, and most folks...

The SD35 is much different than the SD38/39/40. The SD35 is much shorter, like a kid with too-big shoes on. It would be possible to edit the shape down to an SD35, but that will likely be a...

Thanks again! I made up some blank layered templates today for GIMP 2.8 so the locomotives can be repainted using those. Just send me an email (in the Readme) for the Dropbox links. Blank .ace...

Thanks everyone! I'm hoping to work on some blanks/blank layers this week. Also, there is currently a duplicate download of the GM&O pack in the library at the moment. I uploaded it twice...

I uploaded some locomotives last night, and I see a few have already hit the file library this morning. These are SD40s and SD40As as used by the Illinois Central Gulf in the 1970s and 80s.

I currently use a Geforce 750 Ti, which is more than adequate for MSTS/Open Rails. Not so good for other new games, though. I seem to remember that MSTS specifically ran better with a faster...

There is a train upgrade at gta5mods called Kitsune or something which adds some neat stuff to the game. I was pretty surprised to see a caboose at the end of one of the consists, and then suddenly...

Would you mind sharing a pic of the specific look that you are looking for? When I think of an Evans boxcar, I think of something like Ted Curphey made years ago, like the cars in 6pack46.zip in...

Rick, are you saying that one coupler/air hose could be added via ORTS Freight Animation with a reversed one added to the other end? I could probably make up a set of those using both Tim Muir's...

I've run into problems with taking all of the detail parts and parenting them to FRAME. I'm not sure why, but doing this will also cause problems even when using Polymaster. Make half of them...

That's a great looking set! You have a very impressive catalog of models, and I'm a bit envious that you can churn out quality content at such a pace.


Someone please jump in to correct me if...

Hi Paul,

I've been thinking about your problem with the shape. The use of a Freight Animation should be avoidable unless you want to see it through the Cabview windows.

Do you use the...

Thanks Rick & Gaetan, truly excellent work! This set was a day-one purchase for me and has rekindled my interest in MSTS/OR. I got one good run in with the Shawnee (2x E units, baggage-dorm, 4x...

Sketchup is an easy, intuitive program for getting started in modeling. I built all of my first shapes (details for locomotives) in Sketchup. For making basic structures for routes, I imagine it...

Nice shots Rick! It reminded me of a couple of engine packs that I had finished and forgotten about. I uploaded the last two GP10 packs this evening- early GP10s from 1967-68.

I dug through a...
