Thurmont and Branford: Third time's the charm (maybe)

117 it is. Not finished quite in time for Christmas but close before she who must be obeyed dragged me away from the computer.

The red is such a sharp color. Thank you so much for doing this!

Things were on sale so I went ahead and bought two items from my wishlist: the Sacramento Northern and the Feather River Canyon. I mainly got them for the locos, wanted to try taking some "way back when" screenshots"

I do wish I knew how to make the electric wires work properly...

Another exciting semester is over!

Thank God. Back to fiddling with the T&B, with a new member of the roster showing up courtesy of Buzz!

Here she is now leading an excursion out of Marble Hill, north of Wasonebi.

The never-ending tinkering continues. It's a constant WIP so excuse some weird ground texturing yet to be fixed

Hey Jack, Did you add the new stations to the route markers in your asset folder and just forgot to add it to the upload or does that need to be done? Awesome job on the scenery BTW as usual.

Trying to install T & B and the required trestle pack but I am having some issues. I am getting some errors. If I drag the content folder I unzipped into Railworks I get this error, and the route will not show up in my route collection.This was downloaded from RWA this morning. When installing the route with utilities these files show up as 0 bite files.

When I try to open the trestle pack it will not allow me to do so. I have tried 7z and simply clicking on the file. Trestle pack issue is solved.
Update: The route now shows in Free Roam. Open and start and TSC crashes to desktop.

Final solution, opened the route in the route editor. Moved the Alco S2, exited the scenario, Now able to start in Free Roam without crashing. I have never had this many issues in in installing any route. Disturbing thoughts, is it just me? Thanks for the help and listening to my self doubts.

This could be part of the crashing issue. See screen shot.

Anyone else having problems with this route?

@AmericanSteam, did you extract the rwp from the zip file before you started the Utilities?

Yes I did. Somehow, working through all the possible combinations I got it to install and show up in the list of routes. I think that rebooting my computer cleared something and all was good. I don't know about those 0 bite files that showed up.

You know, these things always have to happen on vacation…

I think that’s probably what happened. That may need to be done

That is admittedly a strange combo of issues. Please do tell if anyone else has similar issues because that’s quite the load of problems.

Sorry everyone!!! I’m away from my desktop for a week so if it needs a patch it may not come for a bit.

[buzz456]

I will take care of the route markers and post a temporary link to them. I got the route installed with no issues however I did already have Lippai assets on my machine so I have no idea about any issues with that. Having fun exploring. Beautiful job! Any bugs we’ll get fixed. Looking for any other issues from any of you that D/L the route. I’m going to post some free roams as soon as I get a chance to check them out.

Hopping to Hopkins. This is coming up.

Oh dear, I may have forgotten to deal with the standard scenarios.

Yeah, I don’t think those function quiiiite like they should. I’d probably leave them alone for the time being and will probably do a scenario pack for the route at a later time.

In fact, there’s enough issues here where I’ll probably release a patched version when I return. If at first you don’t succeed, release a patch.

Enjoy your vacation, we are still having fun with it.
