Otto's Portland Loop

Hey guys.
I have a major, MAJOR Problem with otto and his portland loop right now. I saw it, and so I thought it sounded interesting. So I downloaded it, I made a backup like the readme said, and I installed it.
!*not-ok*! After I tried to use it, it kept on crashing, it DELETED EVERYTHING OFF OF THE PORTLAND TERMINAL ROUTE, and DELETED my backup that I had! !*not-ok*!
I can't use any of it now, and I STRONGLY advise you not to use his downloads, because I got another one, and it crashed another route as well. If anyone can help, please give me some idea on how to fix this.
Thanks,
Noel.

I do not know about fixing the issue with the loops but to set it all back to how it was when you bought it just verify the game file integrity and should be good to go

How do I do that? I am not really sure what it is really.

To verify the game files, go to "Library" in Steam, right click on TS2012> Properties> Verify Local Files. You may have to do it a few times until no missing files are found.

Be advised that Otto is not a member here. He hangs out at the TrainSim forums. *!!wink!!*

At this point I would move (not copy) the route to some backup folder (or delete it completely) and get Steam to redownload the whole thing.

How am I supposed to know which files to delete out of my system? There are tons and tons of files wit numbered names that I can't even find to delete.
This is not working for me. All I want to do is re install the roue, and I don't even know how to do that!!!!! **!!bang!!** **!!bang!!** **!!bang!!** **!!bang!!** **!!bang!!** **!!bang!!** **!!bang!!** **!!bang!!** **!!bang!!** **!!bang!!**

Well, here is another issue for Portland Loops that I've had before his latest update (27 May 2012) and it still continues for me. With a new install (via Steam) of PT, the scenario Rigby Yard Outbound loads and runs perfectly. No issues. After loading Portland Loops, I get an error screen telling me I have two broken consists and a missing driver on #327, what ever that is. Reload the default Rigby Yard Outbound and no error screen - the scenario runs beautifully. What gives?
