Assets we need in the future ~ USA

On a related side note, I know there is a way to turn off that that dern alerter on the p42's, but how is it done? Anybody know ? or know where I can find an explanation of how to do this? Thanks!

G-Trax website Edit; I've just checked their site and the fix has been removed. See my post in the problems section for the solution.

I'd like to see angled bridges and a greater variety of tunnel mouths. I'd also like to see commuter coaches and articulated double stacks.

Log trucks, both the "short" 3-axle kind and tractor-trailer types. The skeleton trailer hasn't changed much over the years so make it a separate asset from the cab and we could mix and vary the combos using the various cabs we have already.

Small town fire station; 2 story and 2 bay doors, about big enough to hold 4 small to medium sized trucks. Many of these across small-town America were built of brick in the 60's.

Tie piles. BIG piles (4-8 carloads?) of old dilapidated, crumbling ties, usually stacked in long rows alongside the tracks waiting to be hauled away. Also new tie piles black, shiny, and dripping with creosote. Also need gondolas (half-height) loaded with either/both of these assets.

Track maintenance machinery, especially a tamper which was commonly seen working (or as dad would fuss, "tying up track", lol) somewhere every day.

I'll make a log trailer to go with my mini-pack of semi's and trailers.

Sounds good! I'm in no hurry.

Also we need national banks.

buses! Theres no buses! On the NEC, when arriving into Newark Penn heading southbound, the first street under the platform is actually the station's bus lanes for NJ Transit buses. Theres also an NJT bus garage (Hamilton Garage) just outside the Hamilton Station. And since part of the NEC is along I-95, theres buses of all sorts on that especially in Jersey where its the NJ Turnpike.

I might do some buses for the sim later, I'm just now starting to learn how to build decent semi's.

Take your time JPeter, best to learn before jumping in to the next project.

I already have somewhat of an idea of how to build a bus, it won't be any harder then building a semi as close to the prototype as possible. besides, right now I'm too wrapped up in updating buildings and semi's and trailers to start a bus pack yet, but that will come later.

He's what I learned to build, with light up headlights and windows at night. This is a 1970's Freightliner Cabover Semi.

So I don't think I'll have too much of a problem with buses, it might take longer to build it, but it won't be much harder then this.

I absolutely agree with 1225fan, I ALSO CANNOT TAKE NOT HAVING AN AMTRAK PHASE IV BAGGAGE CAR!!!!!!!!!!! One door or two, I don't really care!! But my Amtrak trains are all incomplete without them, to the point I don't even play/run my Amtrak equipment because of this one missing car. It's far too big of an omission to have a legit-looking Superliner string without it, in my opinion.

This is about assets for the future not what we already have.

The only working EOT flashers, are on select pieces of rolling stock. I also get an SBHH when I try to use the freeware EOT.
