how do u get 5 steam loco's to work in unison? ;P

By putting them in a consist. Any loco (I'm not sure if AI locos do this) will do the same thing as you.

Here are some more pics, but there are of Diesel stuff. Only have UK steamers installed, so they would look a little out of place on the route.

What ever your leading Locomotive does all that follow do the same, ie if you drop down in steam pressure they all will ............Rick

PS As Matt said in his write up it's well worth the money best they have done yet and I have had all their Add On's.

Vern Moorehouse or James Hunt can supply that kind of info, they are part of the 3DTS Group.................Rick

Really nice detailed terrain like that is usually created using DEM data, which unfortunately only the US govt provides for free.

It's possible to use TS Tools to create similar terrain by tracing contour maps, but that take a hell of a lot longer than DEM data does.

DEM? i guess MSTS allows for direct import of this format judging by what u say.

Not as far as I am aware however you can really easily import DEM data without too much trouble.

It's sad that in the US they believe that since tax payers money funded the research to get the data that it should be made available, where over here, we not only pay to get the data but then have to pay to use it too.

Gotta love the UK gov

No. Kuju did a lot of their terrain by hand (take a look around in the RE if you don't believe me). There is evidence that Kuju made allowance for a DEM import utility but I don't know if they actually used one, they certainly didn't distribute it.
