I too found the most difficult problem being trying to run two companies. The hard part wasn't getting the stock for me, though, but jumping between companies while the AI tries its absolute hardest to lay horrid track, buy unnecessary engines, build up debt, and ruin stock prices. I don't know the ...

Who ever thought one of the world's most attractive engines could be considered unusual (and that's going easy)?

I have to say, (but odnt think im saying you made a cruddy map) this is some of the most impossible terrain I have ever worked with. Normally, I wouldnte caught dead with anything steeper than 3% grades on my railroads. But here, not even in the Rockies or the alps, but in Australia, I am forced to ...

I don't remember, but I think most of them have a read-me file next to or included in the download page.

You should be able to make any engine a "tank" engine by removing the tender files. For an example, see the 2-6-4 model in the 1.06 pack. If you need any help with hed editing, ask Gumboots. And, most of the old contributors who added the engines in the downloads page are long gone now, so...

You should include the Deutsche Reichsbahn logo from the downloads page in the file with your map. Good luck with this project!

Is there any chance of getting skins/engines without the faces? You did a great job changing the colors on these engines, and I can tell you'll be "Very Useful indeed." Hehehehe...

That's too bad. It was a good idea. I'll download the new version soon.

I started it last night and it's fun so far. One thing I would suggest is better industry on Daix island, because that railway is only the track between the two Southern cities.

I'd been thinking it over in my head myself. Do whatever you want, man, as long as you don't glorify the holocaust or something like that. IT would definitely be a challenge with incessant bombing raid and partisan warfare. Try to include Poland and west to Paris.

I really need those... I'm getting to the point of thinking that there is no teaching hex editing, you just simply know it. I'd still like to give it a try. After school I'll download those.

Ugh, I can't crack it open. Winrar says it's damaged or broken. Can't I open the pk4 for the J1a (my mistake) from the user add content folder and get its .3dp from there?

The answer is nope. Winrar won't open any pk4 files. What did you use?

Another question: What do I open in a hex editor to change the engine shapes? I'm trying to match what I see with your Atlantic maps so I know what to do. For me, neither the .lco or .car have worked.

I'll give it a shot right now. And, can't Google's 3D CAD program view these files? I forget what it's called, but I'll try that too.

While you're working on rear trucks, can you do something about the rear truck of J3a Hudson? Some work really did go into that one, except the rear truck stayed a 2 wheeler. Or maybe you could post a guide on conversions like this and I can commit to doing it myself. I have been working on and off ...

Thanks guys!

I thought I would have them, but I didn't see them either when I went to upload them for you. JFM looks like he knows what to do. Sorry!

While playing Aurelia, I finally reached 935 and unlocked the GG1, a moment long awaited when a reliable electric would finally be available. I planned on using it on both dedicated freight and passenger trains, and so was quite taken aback when I saw the passenger appeal rating. " Acceptable ?...
