I've been re-scaling some objects to fit their respective places on the GM&O route but have run into a problem with one particular object that refuses to re-scale...This is altoona_shed.s. I am trying to make one shed 2X it's normal height (Y axis, if I'm right) and 6X its width (is that Z?). The shed is close enough to use for St. Louis Union Station until I can get a true version of the building done for me....Would someone verify that I'm not seeing things here? Possibly try re-scaling and report back to me?The .s and .sd files appear to be getting changed but the shape never changes size....JBD

Would you mind emailing me those modified .S and .SD files? I had great success in lengthening the Martin Luther King bridge but the Altoona Shed just wouldn't go quietly into that good night train....JBD

Thanks, Otto! I do have the current release of SFM. The shed needs to be wide enough to cover 32 sets of double-track with a single-track space between each set.... (St. Louis UST is one massive structure!)My email is jdbandman@earthlink.net....JBD
