Wonderful all thanks so much. i was able to run one of my favorite French routes from the 1930s just now and it worked perfectly thank you so much

L'Etoile De Gris by Michel Bonnard..a superb French Route maker from the steam era, this one set just before WWII destroyed much of the French rail system due to Allied mostly American Bombing. Michel who is a friend of mine and much respected collegue, built many of the locomotives and rolling stock he uses.

Chris, This is the first time I have seen this route and have become very interested in it. Thank you. I have downloaded all the route and stock files and am in the midst of installing them.

There appears to be two patch files needed but I cannot find these anywhere. They are apparently available at https://www.gamefron...0C10ty_PLM.zip/ but this site is no longer active. Can you assist.

Edit - the above URL may not be correct. It is the "EXTRAS PACK" I am looking for.

yes here is the home site that the route is hosted on

http://www.trains-de.../L%27Etoile.htm

this is all of the locos needed in case you have trouble getting them

http://www.simtrain-...ocvap/index.php

that extras pack adds accurate platform depart signal and some other details i will see if i can find the file but can pull the files from my route once i review what is in that pack ..i am the one who posted it i think it may also have the files to add engine crews to the locos. let me look tomrrow

Chris

if you want to add engine crews here is the format for one of the locos in the activities:
