Atomic Systems

They are 4 wheeled wagons under development. Yes, the curves are tight but probably only marginally tighter than those on the real Golfa Bank. According to some technical notes I have, it is possible to put "CouplingHasRigidConnection" to a value of "1" in the .wag file, but none of the examples I h...

Oh no it isn't!!! (yes, the panto season is coming!!) It DID look about right on the level, but not I have put a few curves and inclines on my test track its anything but! The train looks fine when we pull away, but as soon as we hit the curves/gradients the wagons oscillate along track like loose c...

Hmmmmm! Guess I had too many inertia tensors on Saturday night. I have fiddled with the length and it seems to be about right now. I didn't put a length into the thing... it seems to have worked it out for itself when I ran the Create MSTS Object in Abacus TS Modeller... so why is the figure it calc...

It may be a bit of a cheat, but I always set all couplings to automatic... they don't appear and it seems a bit irrelevant to me... something like specifying the manufacturer of diesel fuel!!!!!! I have done an experiment and the distance does not seem to vary too closely. Can you explain what a "bo...

Does anyone know what part of the .wag file I tweek to get wagons closer coupled???? At the moment I have a 6" gap betweek buffer faces.

Gents, thanks for your kind words. I must publically thank Richard Osbourne for the help he gave me in this, my first model. If it wasn't for him, I would have given up when things started to go wrong (and they did - wouldn't load, MSTS crashes etc) but I persevered with Richards encouragement and i...

Richard,

I uploaded the loco to UK Trainsim today. (Credit given in the Readme file to your good self, of course!)

Paul

Thanks, Richard.... sorted.

The steam seems a bit profuse!! is there a way of turning it down a bit? What do the parameters in the .eng file refer to?
Can I put 2 cylinder cocks effects on one loco (eg one per cylinder)?
Paul

To those of you who have been following my pathetic pleas for help, many, many thanks. I have now isolated the problem... it was one item that MSTS didn't like..... a curly GWR style boiler handrail. It is the only part I have left to add now. A HUGE special vote of thanks to Richard Osbourne, witho...

Problem solved.... Horace was in the wrong location due to my own stupidity. Can someone tell me what Horace does, in simpletons terms and whether I need it or not for my old routes. Someone said something about usingit if I am currently building a route... is that correct and why? Also, why did MST...

I suppose the only answer I can come up with is because I am stupid. I replaced all of my routes except a short section of narrow gauge I am using to test a loco I am (abortively) trying to build and they all worked OK. Now I cant get the activities to unpack in the Llangollen route. Such is life!! ...

No, I didn't save my original XTracks Ver 2. (Silly me!!!!) When I move all of the Xtracks Ver 2 routes out of the routes folder, it runs OK, and the Ruabon line can be operated. It seems that Horace dont want to go onto Drive D:!!!! I have my hard drive partitioned so that all domestic stuff is on ...

I have just copied The Ruabon Bala Line to my PC and then realised that I had got the wrong version of Xtracks installed. So... I copied the latest Tsection files to the MSTS directory, installed Horace and tried to run it. It then tells me it wont work on a computer without MSTS.... but its there. ...

Thanks for the offer Richard. I have e-mailed the files to you in zipped form. Please let me know if you have recieved them OK.

Paul

Yes, it was built in TSM. It it at scale 1:1, eg normal size to run on Xtracks narrow gauge.
