I was notified about the fact that if you try to open the Lehigh Valley route with the activity editor you get error messages about missing consists. I could locate the problem: I used to have some test activities which i deleted before uploading the route because they all contained non-standard consists. What i forgot was to delete the services as well. So all you have to do is to open the folder "services" of the route and delete everything there with the exception of "dummy.srv" which is the service for the dummy actvity delivered with the route. If you already have installed other activities for the route of course you need to keep their services as well. After that everything should be ok.Sorry for any inconveniences, Werner

Hi WernerNo need to excuse for a small omission when releasing a great piece of work - after all, it's a relatively minor problem, and your post above should be enough to help anyone not yet familiar with TrainSim to get rid of the problem - assuming that a newby would dare opening the Activity Editor at all Actually, I just answered because I wanted to congratulate you for the route you gave us (the community of users). Started to run it yesterday at 10 pm in explore mode, and didn't make it to bed before 2 am and a complete run from Jim Thorpe CNJ to Northampton - Catasauqa - Bath - Benders Junction - Slatington and back to Jim Thorpe LV. Thanks also for the collections of maps delivered with the route: I only had to back up once for a missed switch.And have my explicit thanks for caring about the broken coupler issue by avoiding long stretches of tracks between nodes (I assume some switches, such as the dead end track south of Bath, serve exactly that purpose?) Looking forward to the day all the scenery is as detailed as in the Northampton area.Lukas a.k.a Swissie

I'll go with Lukas on this. Installed the route this morning - you've done a great job on this. Can see some really nice freight activities appearing in due course.Thanks for all your efforts on this to make it so enjoyable.Bill
