When I loaded the Cape Cod Route I am guessing ( "I" ) did something wrong. The trains normally associated with the standard MSTS Activities disappeared from the Engine display, however when the Activity was opened the Train associated with the Activity was there. I ask this question because I have since re-installed MSTS minis the Cape Cod Activity so everthing is fine now, but if I re-input the cape Cod Route again will I experience the same problem, which I don't want or is there something I may have done to cause this anomaly? If so is there a "corrective action" to be taken? Thanks

Do you use trainstore? I do and the same thing happens with me. I only get the consists associated with the particular activity I select.

RE: Trains for Activities Disappear

It might be. I just started using it and what it does is store all routes,trains and consists and loads only those that are needed for a particular activity that you chose. If I open train simulator,the only route and activity that will show will be the last route and activity i ran. If I use train store,all my routes and activities are there and i can chose which one I want.
Trainstore will only load needed files so as to speed up loading time.So from the sound of it,that is why you are having the problem you are having.But in theory its not a problem but what should be happening.
I think when you download and run trainstore.exe it automatically stores all your files.Like I said I just started using it and am not familiar with the complete usage of it,but I'm sure someone will be able too help you more if there is another way to get all your trains available.
Sorry if this reply is a little long,but I hope it helps. Bob D.
