The sandpot is the second dome on top of the boiler, between the steam dome and the cab. Never got made or fitted I believe during the rebuild.

Looking good though, looking forward to seeing it textured. Have fun with the lining (now with those odd pointy corners!)

Would have thought forest.dat files would be esential on the line. What fps rates are you hitting up the glen at the moment?

Needs a lot lot more trees, trying using forest.dat files, should keep the fps rates down. Not looking too bad. Still slightly bare though. Prehaps something where the MER should be? Would be good with at least the road in place with a car spawner on it. Also needs the houses at the the bottom of th...

Caledonia and a couple of M wagons.... certainly different, shouldnt it be Sea Lion though as the only Manx Engine to run up the FR? :wink: If I can get my MSTS to reinstall (and despite having two sets of disks its not too happy with either of them at the moment.) I think I might have a look at thi...

Looking rather awesome, any chance of a version with black bufferbeams and con rods as per 1945? :wink:

Now all you need to do is tweak the eng file so it runs out of steam at Rhydyronen and runs out of water just before Dolgoch Falls... just like the real thing. :P

I like the idea of having both to be honest. The ability to come in after a long day and play trains in a simulator mode. But then also the option to progress my own career, starting on shunting jobs and being promoted. The best of both worlds. Nothing locked out, but almost a series of interlinked ...

Correct,

MSTS doesnt do hills very well to put it simply. x2 scale Snowdon doesnt work (trust me on that one). It tends to distort badly.

Also slight problems with adhesion and creating sensibly powered enignes which will also work on a 1 in 5 hill...

Strange, Dont know why so many people get problems installing this one. Works fine every time I try it. Download all 5 parts, rename them and run the exe installer and it *should* work fine. As has been said, a complete MSTS install is needed though as it uses models from all of the default routes. ...

I have a feeling modelling skills will improve, or with a game which supports more polygons before falling over more detailed models will become avaliable. Look at decaopds latest work at 13,000 polys.... I excpect that if KRS supports 3D Canvas we will be able to make third party addons to include ...

Ffestiniog Structures were known for having next to no clearance at all on their overbridges and tunnels. Likewise ever run under Cynfal Bridge on a Talyllyn Engine and you'll be under no illusions as to the tight clearances on there.... Conversley lines like the Isle of Man build bridges with large...

Patience is often a good one, the editor is very simple, just takes a bit of getting used to. A quick tip, try rephrasing "how the hell are you supposed to understand the editor?" to something like "could someone please give me some hints and tips on getting started in the editor?" .... you'll proba...
