    Hi Mervyn, thanks again. Just for Information.

    I know you may find this hard to believe, but, over the Years that I had MSTS,

    On many, many occasions I have Changed Activity Rolling Stock Consists for my own Rolling stock Consists without any Problems. Been running them for Years.

    I am telling you this because I am beginning to think this Gold spike Route Is corrupted In some way or another.

    This morning on Several occassions I have Re - Downloaded this Route and Installed the Activity and rolling Stock for It.

    However WITH ALL the Activities Listed (I was only Interested In the ATHOL- SHELBY ACTIVITY) I am still getting the Following Errors for all the Activities Listed below:-

    "LOCOMOTIVE: <missing: unknown> CONSIST: <missing unknown>".

    ATHOL-EASTPORT, ATHOL-SHELBY, EXPLORE ROUTE TO EASTPORT, OTTO YARD, RILEY CREEK-SHELBY, WHITEFISH-ATHOL AND WHITEFISH-SHELBY.

    Don't know what to do with this anymore.

    Paul.

      Hi Paul,
      Sorry, mate, but I cannot understand the problems you're having!
      If you downloaded file ID 81004 from the trainsim.com library, it contains part 1 of the route AND a TRAINS folder containing TRAINSET and CONSISTS folders. The last two contain the stock you appear to be missing! You've obviously got the route part because it contains the activities you listed.

      The route is not corrupted - I suggest that you haven't added everything correctly.

      Cheers,
      Ged

        Hi Ged.

        Maybe the files I have Are Incorrect.

        I have Downloaded File# 89004 Which is a Single File containing
        gold_spike_xcellent_v3_part_1.

        The File I have been using contains 3 Files:-

        gold_spike_xcellent_v3_part_1.

        gold_spike_xcellent_v3_part_1.

        And a File called GOLDMAPS for the Route.

        Although I cannot see that It would make a difference to the actual Route.

        I Will Install gold_spike_xcellent_v3_part_1 and overwrite the
        original File and see what happens.

        Thanks

        Paul.

          Hello again Ged. That didn't work, still displaying

          "LOCOMOTIVE: <missing: unknown> CONSIST: <missing unknown>".

          ATHOL-EASTPORT, ATHOL-SHELBY, EXPLORE ROUTE TO EASTPORT, OTTO YARD, RILEY CREEK-SHELBY, WHITEFISH-ATHOL AND WHITEFISH-SHELBY.

          Think I might give this one a miss, all my other Routes are working OK.

          Thanks

          Paul.

            What I gave you were using default trainset and consists, so do you have all the default routes and trainsets installed? Try an Explore with a consist you know is good.

            There are 2 zip files needed to be use gold_spike_xcellent_v3_part_1.zip and gold_spike_xcellent_v3_part_2.zip for the complete route.
            Here's part 2: https://www.trainsim.com/forums/filelib-search-fileid?fid=81003 as you already have part 1

              Hi Paul,
              The zip in file ID 81004 contains the following :
              File81004.jpg
              As you can see, it contains a TRAINS folder - does yours not have that?

              Cheers,
              Ged

                Hi Ged.

                The Folder contains all the above.

                  Hi Paul,
                  Then if you installed the route and its activities AND added the contents of the TRAINS folder you wouldn't be having the problems you are!
                  This is assuming you have not added or changed anything after installing from the zip file (except for adding Part 2!).

                  Cheers,
                  Ged

                    Hi Ged.

                    What I am going to do now Is, completely remove the "Gold Spike Route" and re-Install a fresh One.

                    If It doesn't work this Time I will scrap the Idea.

                    thanks

                    Paul.

                        But not working In ORTSContent.

                        Thought I would copy and Paste It from !MSTS, but maybe not a good Idea.

                        Log File attached.

                        Thanks

                          Hi Paul,
                          What EXACTLY did you copy and paste? Please list folders/files.
