I downloaded the new set of 5 activities for Ohio Rail entitled "A Summer Day of Railroading" by Henri Patey (Skyray). On the Activity titled "Ohio 1600" there is a requirement for a "3dts_upflatf_trailer1.wag" in a folder named "3dts_upflat_trailer1". I have tried about every search that I can in the files section and cannot find any item like this. I also tried over at 3D Trains, and found nothing.Does anyone know where one might find this flatcar with trailer? I'd rather not go in and change the consist in the editor unless I really have to.Thanks,mfgman (doug)
Those are cars from Cajon Route.It's really easy to forget where all this stuff came from. I keep a second, absolutely stock, MSTS installation for just this reason. If a piece of rolling stock is not in there, then I know I have to add it to the download list for any activity I post.The other day I used the gizmo in ConBuilder to spit out an Excel file of all the stuff I've downloaded. It's a 50 page spreadhseet! I have more tanker cars than CSX. Stop me before I download again!
Tell me about it. I went through and cleaned out the trainset folder today. I deleted 75 folders from it. I was surprised how much had accumulated in there. It wan't till I started trying to do the consists for the activities how much there was. I am cleaning out the single cars, trying to stay with packs or cars that designers said I could redo into packs for activities I am planning.Kevin Arceneaux It is time for Amtrak to become a fallen flag!

Hi, I checked into this problem after someone else told me about it. I accidently choose the wrong flat cars. Sorry about that. I uploaded a fix. Simply add the consist file and all is well.Thanks for your understanding.Henri. >I downloaded the new set of 5 activities for Ohio Rail >entitled "A Summer Day of Railroading" by Henri Patey >(Skyray).

Thank you very much Henri. It p;robably won't show up till Monday, but when it appears I will download it.Related to an earlier response by someone else, the concept of providing packs of non-default rolling stock is really the ideal. The two packs for Ohio Rail were a Godsend and certainly get you into the route a lot faster and with less hassle. Especially with the download limits, staring at a screen waiting for 40-50 downloads for hours on end instead of actually spending time running trains is certainly not my idea of good trainsimming. Something to think about as we continue to refine and mature this train sim experience.Doug (mfgman)

Yes the Rolling Stock Packs sure are nice. If there is one thing that makes both running and building activities much easier. It's having Rolling Stock Packs, to use. Thanks to all who have put the ones for Ohio Rail on the net. True artist and gentlemen.Phil Senteraka
