Please coach me on the following:I would like to add the BNSF timetable speed limits to the excellent Raton route. This is just a lazy convience thing, so I can see the permenant speed restrictions in the driving aids window instead of compairing the mile posts to the subdivison timetable. (Note: This is not to take anything away from this best of the best routes. Its just a personal modification I would like to make.)I have never attempted to open the RE. The following link makes it sound easy <http://www.train-sim.com/cgi/dcforum/dcboard.cgi?az=show_thread&om=406&forum=DCForumID6>. However, is it really easy for a first timer, or is it time consuming, requiring me to purchase Michael Vone's book?Also, is there a default speed for the entire route, or is it set from speed limit to speed limit? Example: The timetable lists the max default passenger speed from Trinidad to Raton as 79mph and the freight as 55mph. Then the speed restrictions apply from milepost to milepost. Is this how to set it up in the sim?Is any of the above is in the sim documentation? Right now I am 450 miles away from the computer that runs the sim. (I only get to play the sim every other weekend while I transtion from one job location to another. This darn making a living stuff just won't go away no matter how hard I try.)Finally, thank you for your help and input.
