I downloaded this activity for the CN Blackfoot Route (CAN99) and found that it requires several tankers which are not listed in the equipment list and which do not seem to be available on train-sim.com. I did go into the activity file and consist file with an editor and replaced the required tankers with similar equipment after which the activity ran fine.Bob

Bob,The tankers I used in the activity are from the file tnkpk1.zip in the File Library by Pete Abrams. Also the MT tankers from KHP 2.0.Do you recall specifically which cars were missing? Perhaps it is something I should look out for in the future?By the way, thanks for the feedback. I appreciate it.

RE: North Battleford Switching Activity

Andrew, the missing tankers were GATX 24669, UYLX 664403, GATX 67944, and NATX 50535. I downloaded tnkpk1.zip and all were contained in this downloaded.I had done several searches to find these, but since tnkpk1 did not mention any of them in its description I was not able to find them. I have tried to write several activities myself and I know that figuring out what rolling stock is optional and what downloads they were contained in can be a major problem.I did enjoy the activity very much and hope that you will write an activity for the train which is to deliver the cars in the afternoon.Bob
