Total Noob Questions, haha.

Hi everybody!
I just started using Editor in Railworks3 2012 a few days ago, so far so good! It's fantastically easy to use.
However, I have a few questions and I can't seem to find the info I need anywhere.

1. How do you bring in other trains and assets from the other default maps? Example, I'm using test track for a template, but it only gives me the options for the trains that are in Test Track.

2. How do you connect two tracks if you are making a circle run? When I use Join, it works, but moves the segment and gives me a break somewhere else. So I join that, and it gives me a break somewhere else, and so on. I'm sure I'm just missing something here.

3. I can make a juntion switch no probelm when leaving an existing track, but I can't make a juntion switch when trying to connect to an existing track.

4. Lastly, I packed my map and it is only like 400kb in size. It makes me believe I did it wrong, but my buddy hasn't had a chance to try it yet on his computer for me. Does that file size seem right? I only used stock assets.

I'm looking forward to using the Railworks 3 software a lot! Thanks in advance.

I can only help with one part and thats the loco/trains as I can't do the route building part .

To get extra stock when in the scenario editor you go half way down the menu and you shoul dsee the loco's and object fillers. On the left of this flyout is a blue box that needs to be clicked , after clicking this box hover over to the right hand side and click the developer box that you require. All stock will be under each developer name.
My scenarios are short, but they leave plenty of room for scope. Time to stretch to other routes I think

I've found that if you angle your track right they connect themselves. Just discovered this when I was trying to this part in a route I'm slowly making.
