Well, I'll have to figure out a different way to share these files. Zippy Share has a 200Mb limit. Talgo file is 231Mb. Unless I can zip a .rar file. Can a file be compressed twice?

Try Sendspace that probably is a good one free to upload to.

Can you share with Google Drive?

[UPSD70ACe]

I have Google Drive.

Yes you can but I highly doubt it will save you 31 meg. It can only compress what isn't already. Do you know how to use an FTP program? If so I can set you up with a temp account to FTP it here. Once here I can just post a link to it in a PM or something for who ever wants it. I can not put it in the file library with out permission from the author though.

Thanks, Bob, but I have no idea how to work an FTP program. Google Drive ends up being really easy, with 15Gb of space, for free. I made the files Public so anyone (that I e mail the link to) can "share" (meaning download) the file that wants it. Tim finally got the Talgo's so we'll see what he does with them.

If anyone else wants these coaches, send me a PM with your e mail. (no spam, I promise) EDIT: seems that Google Drive may only work sending to a G Mail address. I can try a different e mail, but several attempts the last day or two didn't work.

Ya I got em installed cant figure out how to make em couple too a engine like the F59PHI?

[ErikGorbiHamilton]

they couple to the F40PH, At least the Talgo 3 Cars do. I couldn't get the other talgo cars to work.
~E: They show up on the editor tab but not on the tracks.

[arizonachris]

Tim, I was afraid this would happen (and I told you that by PM yesterday). I only did all this (download, host) because there seemed to be an interest in the coaches (which now seems there is not). If the patch doesn't fix it, then it's time to learn Spanish.

Oops, didn't see BNOV2's post.

Are there going to be an winged ones soon?

Are there going to be an winged ones soon?

The talgo cars that are on that site were used as Amtrak talgos but they never had the fins. In fact, they used F40PH's on those sets.


Heres a video of a early talgo used by Amtrak up here in the northwest:

*FUBAR (For those that don't know) Is a Military/GI Jargon Acronym that i cant define on here since this a family site.

~E UP asked me to take some pictures of how to couple the Talgo 3 Cars up.
I made a video instead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgTv-CC ... e=youtu.be
