Nothing but the Port Road (please help...)
I'm not quite sure what happened but when I went to open Railworks to do the Class 390 in Germany thing everything except Port Road V3 (which I've downloaded but don't use because I've not had the time to make sure that I've all the assets that it uses) had vanished. No Newcastle-York (either ancient or modern), No Paddington-Oxford, Bath, IOW or any of the other defaults and things I'd bought or downloaded. So, I have Port Road - which is nice because I live in Dumfriesshire but is nasty because I've not added the resources to make it work. Normally I'd send a polite missive to the software company but experience has taught me that all questions to the Railworks chaps get the empty air and tumbleweed treatment. I've written to them thrice and they've studiously ignored me. So, is there anyone here that can tell me either what may have caused this or how I might get my simulator back. The only things that have been done to the PC recently are an upgrade from Vista (spit spit) to Windows 7 (nanny on steroids) but the Sim worked fine for a few days after the upgrade. Thanks in advance, KP

This should sort you out
Launch steam, right click on railworks, select properties, then verify integrity of game cache

Yep. The Verify cache option might do the trick for you. I should help to ensure that you don't have any missing or corrupt files with your Railworks installation, and if so it will attempt to require them.
Also, after running the Verify, I suggest to try the following as well: When you first launch Railworks, from the initial launch-window (before Starting Railworks), go to the Tool & Docs tab, then click on the Clear Cache button.
After after trying those things, Start RailWorks and hopefully things should be working good for you again.
