The activity loaded correctly on this system. That error may indicate that a string of cars was too long to fit on the track that the act is trying to place them on.

Do you have the update for the route? An update was released this week, and it does add signals and turnouts.

Bert,

The update is required to run part 3. Details are in the readme.

Glen, thanks for debugging it for me.

No problem Rick. I had never worked up the nerve to try and modify an existing activity. It was a good learning experience. Razz

Still a problem with the 5 tank cars, don't believe you moved them. 32820 is the uid number.

Hi Rick and others

The problem child is the consist at Grange and Fuel Gas Company, -74.27774, 41.35016. I moved it about one car length from the siding end and now the activity no longer throws the "Failed to initialize car <200322> RigidBody" error.

Gary,

That is really odd. I ran it with no problem last night before I uploaded it. I'll tackle it later.

Thanks guys for your help.

Yup Frank, I've had updated to the last version but the broken rail-X at Maybrook just east of tower between EB Receiving 1-14 and WB Departure #8w, west of road crossing and north of the station is still there.

After removing lots of carstrings this act now finaly loading but hope it will be a fix soon...

Bert,

I will have a final (I hope) fix tonight.

Again, I apologize. This final update removes the string of reefers from the path in Maybrook, reverses the NH caboose (so the markers are on the end) and relocates the string of tank cars that caused some to have 'collision' issues.

In appreciation for your patience, I have also included an alternate part 3, which uses NYO&W power to tow the train backwards from Campbell Hall to Maybrook, rather than doing the run-around move.

Same link as before in the activity section. Rolling Eyes

Enjoy!

Thanks Frank, working fine now (just finishing pig 3A).

About that broken rail-X crossing, forget that (read X-tracks v3.20, had V 3.17 ) Sad

Sorry Fra.. Rick Embarassed

Well I called you Rick on the TrainSim forum Smile

BTW I grabbed that L&H caboose after switching engines at Maybrook yard, placing it last in the train, correct?
