Atomic Systems

I was trying to install the Early Morning Run activity for the default Hisatsu Line. I got a dozen files, but the last one eluded me. Search returned nothing. The file was:
Class 153375 Central Trains File ID 10175

I think it's probably a diesel locomotive and I have a feeling it's only used in an AI consist, so I don't care too much if I replace it with something that looks entirely different, but it would be nice if I could find the one the author actually chose, or at least the same type.

Hi procopius,
Try this :

Invalid File ID [16161]

You'll note that the file name also includes "UKTS_12564" in its name. That upload contains some errors, although it is still available from the library, and 16161 replaces it.

You may need to change folder and/or file names within the activity you're running to use this download.

Ah, thank you. That should be satisfactory. The stress of making these choices is fatiguing, that's why I sometimes have to ask for help. I've found that making substitutes for missing equipment like this I not only have to use Route Riter, but I have to go in and edit .act and .srv and sometimes .con files. That's why I will usually skip any activities that require payware.

Hi Procopius, I had a look in my huge Trainset Folder and found one 153375 in it, this was made by MakingTracks who still despite not
having an active website have made loads of stock available to download.
Click on the link below and search for BMU6 Class 153-155 for MSTS in the All Products Section, this is available for £8.99 and should contain the
following file MT_KM_RR_153375, which is the one I found.

Hi Bob,
The file I linked to is also numbered 153375, but I agree the Making Tracks model is better, although it's not freeware!

Thanks a lot for your help, bob, but I'm a retiree on an Army pension, based on pay when they were still drafting soldiers. £13.99, which is the price I see for the package "BMU Class 153-155 for MSTS," wouldn't cause me real hardship, but it's a significant enough amount to me that I really don't want to spend it on a graphic that I will probably only see two or three times. If I install the activity I don't expect to play it many times (there are only a couple of games I've played repeatedly over the last 40 years). I was disappointed that there was neither a picture nor a description of the units. That might have altered my feelings, but in American idiom this is called "a pig in a poke," that is, your're being asked to pay for something sight unseen without even a promise (which might not be fulfilled) that it is something you want. A lot of the freeware rolling stock I get is really bad, but it's good enough for my purpose. After all, I grew up in the days of radio, and if I can imagine what Captain Midnight looks like I can make do with models that are hardly better than crude cartoons.

Hi Procopius,
The original Making Tracks website did contain details and images of the Class 153/155 units contained within that pack. If you go to the WebArchive site and enter the MT address - http://www.makingtracks-online.co.uk then select 2013, you should be able to see what they look like (I just used the 14 March capture). When their website was 'live', they offered a free download of additional liveries for these DMUs (as well as for several other MT products) but unfortunately, these have all disappeared. I have tried sending messages to Dave Babb, seeking permission to upload them to UKTS, but have had no response

Cheers,
Ged

Are just a few of the shots I made back before the pack was released.
