Hi Phil, Port Ogden & Northern works well in TS2009 Both of these are faulty CityScene1,<kuid2:184151:224:2> CityScene2,<kuid2:184151:223:2> And they have the same error; Error: Texture 'maincscape.texture' is missing or could not be loaded for mesh 'hash-7A\content cqs47c18240\CityScene1.im'.

It is possible to merge the later versions of "Austral Bay" with "IndustRail". If you go to VanDenH at the extreme top right of the route and go into map view you will see that there is a tunnel with a 90 degree left curve leading out of the locomotive refueling depot. To link the two routes together, remove the building that hides the entrance to the tunnel and the track bumper. Merge the IndustRail to Austral Bay and link the sections of track at the joint. The time consuming part is repairing the disconnects at all interactive industries in IndustRail. You will find that at most, if not all, of the industries the track will be unattached at one end. Remember to also do the stations. It's a bummer of a task.

I have used this method of controling crossovers for a long time. It works in TRS2004, TRS2006 and TS2009.

Search the DLS for an asset called 'Junction Link' by Mizi. That should do the trick. __________________

Facing - approaching from the end with one track. Trailing - approaching from the end with two tracks. Like so...

THE INTERCHANGE Once you have loaded or emptied a car at one of the industries on your layout, where will the car go? It goes either: to another industry on your layout, or off your layout altogether. The latter requires hidden layover tracks, a hidden fiddle yard, and/or hidden interchange tracks. My "waybills" send empty cars to the interchange, and usually send loaded cars to the interchange. The interchange is switched "at night". The yard engine pulls from the yard the cars for the interchange, parks them, pulls the cars from the interchange tracks to the yard, and runs the parked cars to the interchange. Once the cars are in the hidden, off-layout track(s), the waybills are updated. All this adds operation and adds purpose to moving the cars around. SUMMARY

SP2 Quick Drive Quick Start Guide. I posted this in another thread as a answer to a question. I thought I would give it a thread of its own to let more people find it.

If you open the route using QuickDrive Mode in Driver and place your consists using both the Global Consist Library and the QuickDrive panel you can save a driver session and then re-open it again and make changes using GCL and QuickDrive to the saved session. You can do this over and over again. You don't have to make changes in surveyor to rolling stock if you have upgraded to a version that has QuickDrive available. Sorry I don't remember where it was added but it is in SP2.

2. I open Surveyor, create my boards to exactly the size I made my displacement in Photoshop, find my created displacement, and drop it in.
