Hey Don, I am a little confused here........what is that little wagon you got behind the speedster? It wasn't included in my download.......Am I missing something I should have gotten or is this something I have to download separately? I want the whole thing.......lol.........
Thanks for any help here...........
I'd like the mag wheels too. Thanks John for talking him into it........hehehe...........

Tim, the wagon came with the speeder, but it has different coupling on it so you have to change one or the other. Looking forward to it, btw. it's a cutie

Then I must not have the complete thing Robert as there was no wagon in the one I downloaded.........and I wouldn't have a clue as to how to change the coupling.........Oh well, I will look for the original and see..........Hope there are instructions for the couplings.......and hope they are easy........I am not too bright!!Thanks........Yeah, it is a cutie..........lol!Tim

Tim,when you make a consist in the activity editor,the wagon should be listed in the "freight"menu.Btw,sorry bout buttin' in to your thread.The Speedster should be in the "Diesel" menu?I didn't include any consist files,cause i didn't use them anyway.The Union pacific Speedster has a 2nd wagon(flat)you might be interested in?

Ok, I feel pretty stupid now.......See, told you I was stupid....No wonder I couldn't find any ace files for the wagon.......there aren't any because they use the speedsters ace file info in the wagon's s file.........duh!!! Oh well........Learn something new everyday....just wish I didn't have to learn the hard way......I lose a lot of valuable time this way........Why didn't anyone tell me that? I know.......I should have figured that out myself..........hehehe Well, I did, just took me a couple of hours........lol........Thanks for all your help guys........
Now on to bigger things...........pun intended!
Does anyone else think I am losing it.........never mind, don't answer that........No, Kevin, that wasn't an open invitation either....Nor you either Stu......or anyone else lurking about....Tim

Nah you're not losing it Tim, just a lack of sleep is all. I wonder how you do it, God knows I can't stay up like that anymore. Need to get back to work on my repaint and then back to wrestling with TSM.

Tim I must have got an old one .. speedster GT .. because it has Mark Toland Oct 01 in the readme. If yours needs the coupling changed it's about the 6 or 7th line down in the .eng file and change Type ( Chain ) to Type ( Automatic )I think that's all there is to it as mine is running like a charm. I also had the UP one that had two little wagons. Cute as they come!Looking forward to it, btw sd80mac, Giving information isn't classified as 'butting in' in my book. It's always welcome

Hi,Ron Paludan has created several cars for the payware Fairmont Speedster, but I think they will fit behind the Speedster too.Check this site:

Hi Don, these are the best pics I could come up with. Cragar went belly-up a while ago so these are the latest versions available:
Here's a better pic of the original:I had 14x6 fronts and 15x7 rears on my 1966 Satellite (383 +.060, TWO Carter AFBs, 13:1, Crane Cams solid-lifter, modified A727 Torqueflite, headers, 4:11, etc.) The beast wouldn't idle below 1100 rpm without shaking the change out of my pockets. Burned Sunoco 260 by the hour but it got me to and from college at 5 mpg whether driving 7 or 70 mph. Best of all - there were DOZENS of cars like this at that time! Hehe, my 'youthful exuberance' phase in the late '60s. Yes, I wish I still had both the car and the wheels!John Roth
