Thanks! By the way the route the shots were taken on is the "Bridge Line" (Delaware & Hudson) and its at www.mapleleaftracks.com (worth every penny).

Nice pix. You really need to reduce your camera's FOV setting. Try something like 25 instead of the default 60.

" Awesome dougal " , Looks like I'll be doing some shopping real soon. Thanks for the web site info. Do you have any other web sites like Mapleleaftracks to share with us for the MSTS. PS; If you keep this up Model Railroader will probably start a new photo contest for the MSTS. Ha Ha Ha..............

Hey Dougal, as far as train-sim.com goes, could you give me an e-mail to help me with a problem. I'm trying to download some stuff from there site, specifically the WSOR GP38 (heads up Ken) but I can't get it to work on the directions they give me. I've never downloaded anything from any site before for MSTS, so if you could help I'd really apreciate it.

Noah.

Dougal, I'm glad to see this activity at this forum, the other USA forums are like animal rights activists at a slaughterhouse. The only other forums that have this kind of comaradry are you-know-who. I've been trying to empower our modellers to this effort, (thanks), and it takes the very last place on earth to present this, but, nobody listens to me! Anyway, Know, I get pic files off your efforts, and am an avid sim fan, also an NS fan, so, keep up the great work! ACJ

The Chief again, with 3751 blowing it's whistle for a grade crossing.

OK, now open another window, go to My COmputer / C Drive / Microsoft Games/ Trainsimulator/ TRAINS / TRAINSET and move the engine into that folder.

I think the pictures are on a yahoo:
http://us.f1.yahoofs.com/groups/g_11930809/Chief%201.jpg?bce7p8ABmvam2l3u
and if you take out the last bit inncl the ? you get the message:
You do not have permission to get the requested URL from this server.
So forbidden, I think Yahoo does not allow this kind of linking to pictures on their servers.

I think so, they talk about it on the opening page when you click on the "what to do with downloads" or some thing like that. Do I just make a consist from there then, I mean will the engine be there? Oooo, just checked, it's there, and it's a bueaty. Thanks for the help Dougal, I'll have to go make a few consists to use with it now.
