Elvas Tower: Set of Milwaukee Road Switch stands - Elvas Tower

MSTS set of animated replacement switch stands for the standard Ramapo's in the Milwaukee Road's Rocky Mountain Division for a more prototypical look. Based on various pictures.

Not for the faint hearted, you must have some experience to the workings of MSTS to do this replacement.

This is how it is done:
- Make a backup for the original files in the route that are going to be replaced (the different Ramapo.s and .sd files, sigcfg.dat file)
- Place these replacement files in a temporary folder.
- Rename the .s and .sd from the replacement switch stand to the Ramapo you want to replace (don't forget to change also the name IN the .sd file). Copy these in the shapes folder of your route (overwrite the original Ramapo files)
- Copy the .ace file to the texture folder of your route.
- Change SemaphoreInfo ( 0.5 ) to 1 in the sigcfg.dat (increases the lenght of the animation, maybe it could even raised a tad higher to 1.1 ) for SignalType "SwitchLamp".

Special thanks to Kelley D. Ellison for his valuable pictures of the Milwaukee Road's switch stands.

With kind regards,
