Western Maryland "Retro" Pack

[buzz456]

Just so you are aware this does not "retro" the route. The auto traffic is still modern and you might just meet.................................. on a QD.

Hi Buzz,

Are you using the QD with the "WM" in the display names? If so, then this would be a bug as the intended behaviour is that all QD trains are, in fact, WM. :(

Cheers,
Michael

/Edit: This is how it looks like on my end:

Yes I did use the WM designated scenario. If you wish I'll tell you which one.

As indicated by Michael, the route includes a full set of Western Maryland QDs with WM consists -- as well as ten WM-era career scenarios.

Please advice on the above, because if a WM QD was used it is a bug which we will correct.

I need to apologize. I must have messed up and not been on one of the WM scenarios. I can't duplicate this. If you want me to delete this whole discussion let me know.

This route is just beautiful.

Thanks but there's no need for that. A false alarm is always better than a missed bug that nobody bothers to report. I can assure you that it's at least as easy to miss a bug as it's to pick the wrong QD scenario. I'm just glad to hear that everything seems to be working fine now.

Cheers,
Michael

Thanks, Buzz, and what Michael said.

It's easy to grab a "WB" rather than a "WM" from the QD menu (I've certainly done it myself), which I imagine is what occurred.

I've noticed something strange about the autonumbering.

Upon putting the locomotives in a free-roam scenario, I am unable to change the numbers to a 3-digit number, which covered a wide portion of the F-unit roster prior to being renumbered. Now, it is easy to work around this, but I want to verify that a 3-digit number is impossible before proceeding to add them in. Has anyone else had any success in doing so?

[buzz456]

It looks like you are correct. My suggestion is make a invisible letter like X and use it to fill in the blank.

The WM F7A in the retro pack will accept two- or four digit numbers which covers the majority of the fleet (as was purchased in 1950). These are WM road number 53-66, later 7151-7164. The F7s purchased in 1952 (231-242, later 7165-7176) had several carbody detail differences from that of the TS model, but as noted there's a way to use three-digit numbers if desired.

Fantastic pack - great work all round

For those of us not in the US, has anyone worked out how to get the Reading lettering on the two Reading boxcars? Completely stumped me this time...

Thanks again

I can do that. What is the font? Any idea?
