Hi Tim,

There is a feature in the last version of BIN that allows for the independent raising and lowering of Trolley poles or pans. I have explained it before here: http://www.elvastowe...action-and-bin/

This thread deals with the application to 3rd rail/overhead wire routes (which I still think is a plausible arrangement :) ), but the principal still applies. You, Tim, could make the pans separate, to allow the user to select which pan (or pans) is up.

And secondly, I got the color changed on the side of the PAYE car, I'll post screens later when I'm further along :)

Zach

Zach, I've downloaded and installed the latest patch, but no English manual on how to utilize the separate panto control fix. The manual in your link wont open in my system either. Could you make a copy of those instructions and post them in the Traction section?

I'm looking forward to seeing your complete repaint of the PAYE car.

Bobbie, I can see why you love that Class 1200. There's something about double-ended cab units that are just plain cool.

And now for the screen shots, from Rocky Mountain 1st Division, at Milwaukee's famous Eagle Nest Bridge, Montana Canyon, over Sixteen Mile Creek:

That bears repeating...

My first installation of a traction route in many years. The L&PS of course.
Say, am I missing something or are these electrics just a lot easier to operate? I'm used to steam...

Thanks, Jim & Tim.

They may be easier then steam. But it's the fast short braking distance for station stops that I find challenging and fun. It takes some practice.
