      Free = someone else's time and effort....nothing is ever free. FREE - THE MYTH of 1st instance of the two legged-critter.

        Some activities to go with a payware set is incentive to purchase a payware set. Notice that a purchase would be necessary in order to properly use the activities. That should be entirely appropriate if nothing is ever free.

            Fellows --- I have been properly chastised. scolded, chastened, chided, rebuked, reprimanded, & objurgated.
            ( as a nerdy child, I loved reading the dictionary ).
            But I remain unfazed and forever prickly, irascible, vexatious, ( oh to hell with it -- I'm just grumpy today!)

            Some activities to go with a payware set is incentive to purchase a payware set
            much too logical & true to even begin arguing with ( even in my present mood. )

            There was an activity for the UP Wind Turbine Train.
            also true, that's probably why I bought it. 😏

            BUT...Free is a state of mind, hard to obtain, difficult to sustain.

                        Curious if swapping the older SD70M model from this activity, will cause issues if it's replaced with the newer model. I don't often mess with changes like that, but figured being the newer models are definitely a huge change, it would be more appealing to the eyes from the older set.

                        Need to drag out my old laptop though to get the UP FRC set reinstalled, for the FRC activities. Apparently I forgot to transfer a half dozen TS/SLI install files when I purchased my new gaming laptop.

                          I would guess that a simple edit to the consist file will work fine. The physics will be a bit different but I can't imagine that would be too major aside from going a bit faster/slower than originally intended.

                          My main concern would be OR not playing nice with an activity that old, and now I'm tempted to try it.

                            It's a mainline activity, if I remember, so OR will probably tolerate it.....IF the traffic paths do not conflict with the player...might have to check/uncheck Location-linked passing paths option.
