I have had an ongoing problem with ConBuilder generating a run time error when right clicking on some trainset items in order to see the Graphic. Carlos has tracked that bug down and squashed it flat! He sent me a 1.56 upgrade, I have installed and tested it, and it does everything it is supposed to. I gathered from his explination (which I will not reproduce -- I am just old fashioned enough to believe that private correspondence is just that -- private) that the problem was easy to fix but hard to locate exactly. Hopefully, he will u/l the update to the library and may explain publicly at that time what was involved.I would like to give Carlos a big public thank you for his work. Conbuilder is, for me, the difference between using MSTS and abandoning it months ago. It is a must have. Thanks Carlos.

RE: ConBuilder update

I get the same error message after right-clicking. It would be great to be able to see what you're selecting, so I too, hope he decides to share the "fix" with all of us.

RE: ConBuilder update

I'll upload it to my site; Unfortunately the bandwidth isn't very much, so you must be patient if the site reports that downloads are down. There's still a minor thing (shall I call it a bug? No, I don't think it deserves that name) worrying me, therefore I'll upload the updated version after I take care of it.Carlos

RE: ConBuilder update

I went there and donwloaded Version 1.56 and still can't get an image of the loco and other cars. A few F7's will show up, but that's about it. Appears there's still a bug? I'll wait.

RE: ConBuilder update

Not this time around I changed the files all around from gif to jpg and back no luck. I opened and checked the actual wag files also.
The 3D F7 SanteFe opens with a gif in it's directory
the SOO line boxcar with a gif opens along with a few limited others
with gif pics. But only about 10 out of 150. Must still be a bug
I'll wait some more. Thanks for the help though.
