With regard to lights, I think you have a weak graphics card that is overwelmed in high object tiles like downtown Denver when running a long (high poly-count) train. Lights should begin showing when you proceed beyond the busy area, or with a simpler train, or when starting in a simpler location.With regard to steam activities, I have no idea what you are doing wrong. What do you mean by complete? I've never seen such a message but have to think complete is better than incomplete. Steam should be no different than diesel.Although I think I've been able to understand most of what you type, it may sometime be helpful to separate your sentences. If your "period" key doesn't work, maybe you could use something else.

My graphics card shouldn't be the problem. The lights work when not in an activity (in explore route). On the steam engines, I've used UP 3985 and UP 844 add on locomotives on UP excursion trains. Neither one is wanting to run. They complete after one second of running and don't bring up the Ops Notebook. I've been able to run steam engines on Rollins Pass, just in explore route. Currently i'm going the long way around with the UP 844. It doesn't work at all on Marias Pass 3. Could it have something to do with the activities that i've created?

I suppose it would have to be a problem with your activities.If nobody in this forum can help, I suggest you try the Activities Forum.

I got the steam to work. I don't know why it doesn't work the other way but this way it worked. As for the signal blocks and lights, i think i was making the activities too complicated. They work with just a couple of trains.
