Do you have TrainStore installed?

Further to Ash's post, if you don't have Trainstore running and have installed the route & stock & activities from the Dorset Coast CD, it may load eventually - on my machine, it took 20 minutes to load, and then a similar length of time to load an activity to drive.

Trainstore is a must for routes the size of Dorset Coast and Thames-Mersey

Do you have the latest Tsection.dat file installed? If not, it can be downloaded from here (full instructions included):

Hi have used Trainstore but nothing happend. Now i can't even play MSTS because all the Options : Introductioary Train ride, Tutorials, Drive a Train and Saved Activity. This has now really annoyed me and i think about uninstalling MSTRS and throwing it in the bin. Is there another way instead of doing that?

OK, lets take this step by step.

You have trainstore - presumably you're using "easy trainstore"?

Select an activity from a route that was working before Dorset Coast was installed. Can you drive a train on this activity?

Sorry but thats rubbish and completely unnecessary.

Did you run an activity from another route that was working using easy trainstore as described above?
Have you reinstalled the latest tsection.dat file?
Have you checked that you have textured sky selected (crossed) in graphics options?

There are many things you have to check before you even think about uninstalling, which is NEVER necessary.
