Sep-15-01, 01:58 AM (EST) 1. "RE: consist as template, why?" The template allows you to use a consist that has been created for another activity in a new activity. You can change it or leave it as is, but the big advantage is you can rename it. That way, when the new activity is installed the consist will not overwrite consists used in the old activity. Does that make sense? I hope so.Bob Lloyd

Sep-15-01, 04:33 AM (EST) 2. "RE: consist as template, why?" I use the template button when, for example, I want to put a new engine at the head of the Orient Express, and don't want to spend 1 hour putting all the OE cars in. Just uncouple the steamer and add a GP-38 Euston
