Question about modifying a current existing route.

This one's called a Nebraska Buffer.

Anything from a pile of gravel, a railroad tie, or a bolted on wheelstop can be used as a buffer and railcars will bounce off them...Just place a static object with the collision properties set.

No TDB update needed for that so saved activities will be just fine.

Niknak,

There are many things on Mullan that are not perfect (if I had tried to aim to be perfect the route would've NEVER gotten released) but just as an FYI: There are a LOT of spur tracks along the Mullan Pass route in the real world that do not have big beefy steel buffers. Some have just a pile of dirt ("Earthen Bumper" to be proper), some have little wheel stops, and yet many have nothing at all - the rails literally just end. That's not to say there aren't some steel buffers that I missed, just letting you know that the total lack of buffers is not as un-prototypical as you may think

Appreciate the response Sean, thank you.

Interactives are things that interact with the track. They are part of the .tdb, or track data base.
I'll try to list them all, but...

Mile posts
Speed posts
Level Crossings, where cars stop at a crossing, be it a crossbuck or active crossing signals
Signals
Stations, platforms or sidings that show up in the f6 display
Hazards, not sure about these, don't use them

Anybody else got any?

Sidings
