It is very likely that the test Activities that Jerry retained when he packed it up are causing the glitch. What I would suggest is that you go into the Route folder, then the Activities sub-folder, and remove the contents (save them somewhere). Do the same with the contents of the Paths, Services and Traffic sub-folders. Then fire it up again, go into Explore mode (if it gets that far) and see how it goes. Thanks, Bruce, that fixed the problem. I just did a little test run and I have to admit that this is one of the best looking freeware routes I've seen for MSTS. I'll have some fun with it. A few shots from my test run of Division 4.

Good-oh, Kev!! Great to se that it's up and running. Yes, it's a lovely job he's done. I am left wondering if the enhancements that Lukas has incorporated into Div 1 will also be done for the others. Maybe he had enough with just one part. When I'm happy with the activity I'm doing (for Div.4) I'll upload it and let you know in The Old Roundhouse. Bruce.

Tweaking and fine-tuning it now, Kev. It will need the MILW loco's and rolling stock mentioned previously but there'll be a full list in the Readme doc. I'm actually creating two in parallel, one based on a segment of the Pentrex video (DVD) that I have of the MILW through the Rockies, so it's sort of true-to-life. Bruce

I'll be looking forward to it. I tried to find some activities for this route and could find none. So I thought I'd put together a consist to suit the route and discovered that my version of MSTS, which was a 9USD jewel case only version released by Atari that I got a couple years ago doesn't have the SDK.

Kevin, If you go to the file library of Train-sim.com I think you'll be able to find a freebie utility with which you can build consists. There was something called Con Builder or similar. You're dead right about no Activities....there are none for any of the MILW divisions. I guess I'd better package up the one I've finished and get it uploaded asap. I've just got to do the docs.

The Activity has been packaged and I attempted to upload it to Train-sim.com. However, I'm not sure if the upload was successful, as it seemed to go on for ages....not correct for a 1mb file. EDIT: Uploaded again and it was okay this time so it should be available within a day or two. I'll leave the other copy on my website, anyway.So I've also popped it into my repository, so if you'd like to grab it, here's the URL. www.netspeed.com.au/bhk/milw_bk1.zipIt contains the APK, a Word DOC file, a jpg and a TXT ReadMe. Feedback - and any reports of it not working properly - are very welcome. Bruce.

Thanks, Bruce. I just downloaded it and am looking forward to checking it out. I'm off to grab the needed stock so I can give it a go.

Good-oh, Kevin. And also okay on the ConBuilder file. I hope the activity works for you without any problems. If you install all the 'stock, and check it first, I'm confident that you'll be okay. There must be a few people hanging out for some Activities for that route....it's already over the 100 downloads. Bruce

Thanks for the activity, Bruce. I've been enjoying it. I've done about two hours in so far, but I'm still getting the hang of the EF-4 set and accidentally stopped a bit to close to a red light. ;D I'm planning on doing some more of the activity today. Here are a few shots I took while working on the activity last night. An overpass. Passing a small town or waypost. Hope that old bridge holds. Waiting for the line to clear.

Good to see you've got it up and running, Kevin.
That must have been a spectacular sight, running the St Paul Pass. There is some magnificent scenery and what a construction job that was back in the 1900's!
