This may have been covered before, but I need to be talked through this in a personalized way for me to understand this.I am editing some of the scenery around Marion, Ohio in Bruce Bridges' Conrail Indy v 2.0 line. I have successfully changed the signals around Marion on the Conrail line to reflect the old signal gantries across the ex-Erie main. The signals I'm using for the Erie signal gantry are the two head 3 light signals used for the NS and CSX lines in Marion and the NS line in Muncie. I'm also using 3 head tri-color signals on the NYC signal bridge near route 309. I downloaded the closest looking gantry to the C&O style and used the gantry version of those C&O style signals that I previously described. I connected the two interchanges between the Conrail and CSX and NS tracks in Marion, and made them functional. Here's where my questions start.I want to change the NS line's signals to reflect their former PRR heritage, so I downloaded a pack of PRR PL signals. I have absolutely no clue how to add them into the route. I know I have to do soemthing with the sigscr and sigcfg files, but I don't know what to do with them. I also plan to use this PRR signal pack to revamp the signals on the Crawfordsville Branch. I want to add more roads to the very east end of the Indy line, roughly where I placed milepost 100. There are two overpasses and two level crossings there, plus a street that crosses the CSX and NS lines on the north of Marion. How do I add these streets in? I can select the objects, but the roads don't appear with texture, they are invisible. When I finish, I'll post some shots to get opinions.
