Yesssssss!!!!!!! I finally got it to work.After several frustrating hours trying to get Marias 3.1 to work on my machine and after reading many messages on this site, I concluded that I needed Xtracks and the new tsection.dat in order to make Marias 3.1 work.So, I installed xtracks and the tsection.dat file and tried running all the routes in MSTS (including Kickhorse Pass) before trying to install Marias 3.1. The routes worked fine... so I then installed Marias 3.1 and it worked like a charm.Here's what I did. 1 Backup MSTS (just in case)
2 Delete Marias 3 (If installed)
3 Download from Train-sim.com: tsection.zip (which is Build 00011) and xtracks.zip v3.4 (standard edition)
4. Install both as per insructions
5. Make sure MSTS is up-to-date ie. Version 1.2
6. Install Marias 3.1 as per instructionsHave fun! (Hopefully)Alex Hall

RE: Marias 3.1 Now Works!!!

The file you need from the library is the one with the folowing description.XTracks v3.4 (standard edition)
Extra track sections: subterrainian track sections, scale switches etc.
Includes build 11 of the standardised tsection.dat.
This is all that is needed if you don't build routes.
