    I did ad a some siding markers to existing trackage in Lake Hurst Yard, and added a small amount of new track in the way of a couple of sidings at the Yonder Loco plant and St. Joseph mine

      Just curious. Where did you get the two low hoods painted green (#3000-3006)? I'd love to get my hands on them.

        In the template package, some ace files were modified to accomodate the template project. After downloading the required rolling stock, the modified ace files from the template zip file will simply overwrite the original aces. For these two, they come from the Cascade & North Western SD40's

          It shouldn't be too hard to make the necessary corrections.

            Where would I get that file? Do I have to have the program that runs the template to get the modified ace files?

            I once had access to the NERR site and it's downloads. Unfortunately, that site seems to be down now. Pitty. There was a lot of good stuff there.

              To run the template package for this route, the Activity Generator (AG) software is necessary to run them.

              It is available here : Skyline Computing Home ( see upper right of the web page for Activity Generator to purchase ( $15.00 US) ( click on the BUY NOW button)

              As for the nerr file I have referred to, it is available in the file library as nerx_sd40.zip

              There are many routes for which templates are available (see the templates page). For the latest template projects I have done, they are available upon request by writing me in the skylinecomputing forum

                I'm unable to register for the SkylineComputing forum, as their security code images are broken, and don't work regardless of browser, so can I get in contact here?

                          I usually do my editing via TSRE or manually if needed, so it's not a full need right now.

                              Russ,

                              Glad to see you got Brody's AC4400CWs to test. Those hoppers look very nice, and will be a nice alternative to David Rowe's Thrall Gon.

                                I sincerely hope that Brody's FBL AC4400s will be released, along with those hoppers. And, of course, the "refurbed" FBL route. All very well done. Thanks in advance to the creators of all.
