Well me thinks i'd better keep you all up to date. Construction has started on the new, modified Sodor. I have been working on knapford, which i must say is looking good
, but i am wanting to place a section of hidden track next to the station for future trainspotting acts, so how would i go about doing this? Would i just place a piece of track slightly under ground level, or would i have to find some sort of special track?

ooh, I can't wait to see the finished result of this project!
By the way, on Sodor Island Forums, I have been doing a series of Thomas the Tank Engine track plans of the locations seen throughout the seasons. I will soon be uploading them to my Photobucket account, and will post the link here to help you with track layouts for lots of main locations on Sodor.

Yes, Fat Hatt has been away for about 4 months, having issues in his personal life that are more important than his forum, but he is returning at the end of April!

Well i am trying to extend the track to Gordon's Hill, but just after Wellsworth is a level crossing. And there are 3 tracks on the main line. So, is there a 3 track level crossing out there, with the classic gates with red circle in the middle, and that is animated?

There should be some 3 track gates on UKTS, if not, ask nicely and someone may make you a set

A big problem. All the items around Knapford ( houses, trees, station, track ) has dissappeared, but the track database is still where it was before. How do i fix this problem?
( oh yer, and i aint backed up the route

You might have overloaded the tile....RE takes a backup of world tiles automatically...you'll have 2 almost with the same name apart from a "~" in it.Delete the one WITHOUT the "~".........then remove the "~" from the name..........and you'll be back to where you were before you started editing last.Hope this makes sense.Its a good idea to click save after you've added 3 or so objects...then you'll not loose so much work.
Cheers

Right, i have sorted the problem above, but now have another problem. This problem isn't as dramatic as the one above, but just as important. For the ninth series of the t.v show, tidmouth sheds has had another space ( road ) added to it, so..............should the model in the route i am doing have 6 spaces, as in the previous series, or for maybe more usefulness, have 7 ? And could some kind sole be able to make the sheds?
Thanks
