Lehigh Valley activity uploaded

I just uploaded an activity for the Lehigh Valley route. Keep in mind that this is my first add on. There are only four trains in the entire activity; your RS11 powered Lehigh Valley freight, a F7 powered CNJ freight, the John Wilkes, and a F7 powered Reading freight. You run alongside the CNJ freight for the entire length of the route.

In the readme, where it says you need the John Wilkes steam engine and consist, you actually need the heavyweight cars and the LV alco PA. It was a mistake on my part. If there is an error reading the Alco PA, as there was with me, a CNJ F7 will be on the point.

It is in the file library. Download the LV PA and the LV heavyweight passenger cars before using the activity. Or just make a consist with the John Wilkes steam locomotive and consist and name the file John Wilkes.con overwriting the Alco PA/heavyweight consist.
This is the first Lehigh Valley era activity for the route.

John,This may be a stupid question but I am at a stand still and I can not figure this out. The CNJ F7 and RDG F7 from 3DTrains. Would you mind tell me which zip or exe file these are. I have found all the rest. Sorry, I just can not figure it out on my own.Dave Horton

I downloaded and installed the requires add-ons mentioned in the readme.txt filesfor this activiey, but it took a while because all I had to work with was a description of the rolling stock needed (like CB&Q boxcars). It would have been nice if the author had given the .zip file name instead. I installed the activity and ran Route Control. There were still quite a few missing .wag files. I did finally find all but one of them on trainsim.com. For the one I couldn't find, I just edited the activity consist and used a different car.The .wag files that were missing were:B&o_boxcar.wag
Cnj20551.wag
Prr40ftb1.wag
Nw1-40ftb.wag
Nw2-40ftb.wag
Rbox40600.wag
Soo-40ftb.wag
C&o40ftb1.wag (couldn't find this one)
Us240ftb-cbq3.wagIf anyone else has the same problem, let me know and I'll post the .zip file names of the missing rolling stock.Ray

To the activity creators: Please use the East coast 40ft box car packs I made. It has the C&O, SOO, N&W, and PRR cars. The others listed are made by others. eastbx1.zip and ec40ftp2.zip

I have those two packs. I think I'll edit the consists in the activity and replace them with the box cars from them and get rid of the duplicates.Ray
