I would keep the money till I could afford everything then go shopping and complete the build all in one go, otherwise how can you tell if it works if you've not yet purchased an essential c...

Re: problem swapping stock in scenarios

Thanks Mike and Alan; I can see the way to eliminate the path corruption by editing the scenario.bin, but I've not been able to diagnose the cause yet. The swap function is unlikely to be failing it seems more likely to be something in my setup, I will continue to investigate and post again if I fin...

I have a problem changing stock in consists using Edit Scenario. I am using RWTools 6.0.21 with Win7 64bit. For example I start with a scenario for Abingdon route that includes stock I don’t have, In RWTools I clone it and RWTools correctly shows the expected path of the missing stock, D:\Steam\stea...

For example the BlueArrow re-skins show 34011 in Unrebuilt state, and 34101 in Rebuilt state. Some loco's survived unrebuilt till they...

Restarting?

I agree with PeterHoltons suggestion, if you can get the details from a "Blue Screen of Death" when it stops you can then search the web for the meaning. Usually you will get something like Stop Code followed by four groups of digits. The first group might be like 0x0000007c and this is what you sea...

fix for prrw80mend.s missing

Do you mean Prrw80mend.s is missing ? I had the same missing prrw80mend.s file, and also also prrw160strt.s. This is showed by RouteRiter before you try to use the route, or by the error msg when running the route and it gets to the point where it needs to display this section of road. I solved it b...

Watch for the Refresh Rate

I have not got a TFT but one key thing to watch for is the refresh rate. This is the time it takes for a pixel to change from one colour to another colour. If the screen has a 30msec refresh than each pixel can change 33 times per second, If the rate is 25 msec then 40 changes per sec are possible O...

Same symptoms here too

Sorry I have no solution, but I have exactly the same symptoms you describe. In an activity I have made for the Swansea South Wales route I have several AI steam trains and several static steam trains in the act, but none of the AI nor the player train have any visible smoke or steam. My player loco...

Assuming you have an IDE set up and not a SCSI set, and assuming yoiu are on an older OS like Win98 the following should be consider...
