Milepost numbers?

[landnrailroader]

I am wanting to place mileposts on the Northern Montana route and so I experimented with doing this. On other Milwaukee routes I have used the USA2 mlepost which is a triangular item on a post, and when I placed them with MSTS, and keyed in the number, as I recall the number was visible on the post. Now in TSRE, all seems to go well but the number does not show. Also when I went into a route that had been modified with TSRE (Knoxville Div., by Kenny Eaton) I found that the numbers did not show, although if I selected a milepost the correct number appeared on the object panel. And then if I just selected a mllepost in the USA2 route, same result. Is this normal now?, or do I need to do something elsle to make it normal.

The numbers don't show in TSRE but they'll show in OR.

That answered my question. Would be nice though if they showed in TSRE as well. Southwest Missouri eh, maybe Springfield. I was there several time in the early 70s when the late Frisco RR leased the SR track inspection car - and me with it.

Hi Jerry,

I got the email yesterday addressing this topic.

I'm sorry to say that I have not messed around with mile posts, track laying nor signals. But it looks like the question has been answered.

Sometime in the near future I am going to start finishing the Pokey (adding vegetation to all the branch lines) and upload the final update. Between the Pokey and the Corbin/Knoxville routes, I experienced a little "burnout" and needed a break from it. I think the next project is going to be a makeover of Austin Yoder's NS East River District. This one shouldn't be as time consuming as the other two.

The numbers do show in the testing version of v8.005 since about a month ago (version S onward).

It's not rendered on the shape but will appear over the TrItem location. Likewise with platform and siding names.

Time consuming & burnout. Well at 86 I don't know if I have enough time left to do my projects but to avoid burnout I switch back and forth. Yesterday I returned to the North Montana route to install roads and some minor details along the former GN line that passes through the southern part of the route and has some connections to sites on the former Milwaukee Road. I plan to install the grain elevators and probably the mileposts because then it can be a operational route and others can flesh out the detials. As I've said before, two of the 3 larger communities were copied from other route and are already rather finely detailed. My goal is to release this and the increased Knoxville Div. this year. As an aside, under CSX, everything from Atlanta north to Cincinnati along the former L&N line through Knoxville & Corbin, as well as the former Cumberland Valley and Eastern KY divisions is now the Atlanta Division.
