    Misaligned Trackwork & Hidden Objects

    A few months ago, I made some modifications to an existing route by adding a few new tiles to extend the route by a few miles to include some specific industries and a small classification yard. Addition of the scenery objects and trackwork went as expected w/no issues and I have run numerous trains over the newly added sections, again w/no problems. However, I recently decided to expand the trackwork to include another industry, and once I did that, the original track that had worked perfectly in the past no longer worked. Specifically, the trackwork itself & TDB lines did not match up. Loose consists that had been placed on sidings appeared on the TDB but no longer on the trackwork. I understand that the trains run on the TDB & not the trackwork itself, but I had made no modifications to the trackwork in question and cannot figure out why it no longer matches up w/the TDB. When I tried to delete the old trackwork & replace it, I was able to do that, but the TDB lines still show up in TSRE even though no track is present.
    In addition, the F4 Navi Window shows that there are 149 objects on the tile in question, and 107 of those objects are hidden.
    So my question is, (1) how do I eliminate the old TDB lines so that I can lay new track that is not misaligned w/the TDB, and (2) is there some way to ID and eliminate hidden objects?
    Thanks for any guidance on this. clint

    I have never run into that.... Have you tried opening up the route in different versions of TSRE?

      Hey Eric: I took your suggestion & opened the route in an older version of TSRE & the trackwork and TDB lines matched up as they are intended to. I nave not run into this issued before either. That's why it had me puzzled. I made revisions to the route in the older version then reopened it in v0.8.004 and the trackwork & TDB were still misaligned. So I copied the TDB file from the original route download & that seems to have solved the issue. All I can figure is that somehow in the addition of the new trackwork, I corrupted the TDB.

      What about the hidden files? Is there a way to locate & eliminate them: Thanks...clint

        Don't use 8.004 as it did have some issues.... move up to 8.005RC3 or one of the 8.006 testing versions.
