Yes, the downloadables are all freeware but I think there is a need for activity writers to support route/stock creators by using new stock as it is uploaded else we would still be using what came out of the box, originally. But we have no control over how these are made.

I have been running MSTS now for a long time and I have to admit that unfortunately the Hydraulic Cross country route has caused me more problems than almost any other that I can remember.
