WINZIP is free, albeit for a short time once you've downloaded it, then you have to pay for it. A freeware alternative I use is CAMUnzip which you can download from http://www.camunzip.com

Unfortunately 455s don't have toilets, although that shouldn't be a problem since the journey time is only about 10 minutes. Having said that there appears to be no other reason why 455s can't be used though.

Yeah RAIL magazine reported that SWT has already started driver training with the 159s on the Lymington branch, so it looks like they are here to stay.Stupid isn't it

TrainStore's included on the DVD as well. Basically, what TrainStore does is load just the stock for the activity you've chosen; anything else is put in store. It improves performance since MSTS doesn't have to keep in memory lots of unnecessary stock. For some routes trainstore is essential otherwi...

I've reinstalled the stock and activities: there's nothing wrong with the route. I might just replace the offending Mk2s with Activity Analyser anyway.

With regards to why SWT gave up its 170s. In 2006 I did a fortnight's work experience with South West Trains and found out that one reason why SWT wanted to get rid of them was because they were difficult to maintain. Apparently, when they suffer a major mechanical fault, new engines have to be orde...

This might help you: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GWR_Bulldog_Class. Other than that I can't really help you since I'm not a GWR man myself.

Ok thanks for your advice Lad491! Anyway, I've submitted a ticket to the support department asking for a replacement CD - I dont' want to stomach a full reinstall since I haven't backed anything up.

Hang on, I've checked my TRAINSET folder and the aforementioned carriages aren't there! Strange since I haven't done anything to the files.

The stock should have been on the Thames-Mersey CD; the activity (no. 73 Lime-Street Euston) likewise. In fact, I've played the activity before (only got as far as Runcorn before MSTS crashed though :cry: ) and TrainStore didn't throw up any error messages. However when TrainStore asks whether a cer...

I've copied the setup file to the desktop, reinstalled all the stock from that, and tried reloading the offending activity through TrainStore, but still says that the following files are missing: Error: - Item No. 1 The following File was not found File: 'UK_Carriage_BR_MK2A\mk2afk.WAG' Error: - Ite...

Ok thanks

Ok, this is becoming a habit but here goes. I've tried loading an activity for Thames Mersey 4.3, but TrainStore claims that the following items of stock are missing: Error: - Item No. 1 The following File was not found File: 'UK_Carriage_BR_MK2A\mk2afk.WAG' Error: - Item No. 2 The following File wa...

The whole line whilst not being the most senic around is pleasent enough and odd to go from ashford to London and seeing the dartford bridge lol and nice going past everyone stuck I. Traffic. Yeah it is quite satisfying to whizz past gridlocked cars by train isn't it :D Trouble is, for a lot of com...

Although I don't know which route you're using, the simplest option might be to check again on UKTS to see if the author has uploaded an updated version of the activity.
