Tim, on a side note... I :thumbup3: when it comes to traction

Thanks, Kid! :wub: By the way, Paul's screenshots were taken on an old experimental PE route I made before the PET. It wont be released- it has too many things wrong with it that I don't know how to fix. ;)

I just can't bring myself to run duplicate numbers! :wub: Besides, you were so gracious as to provide the "decal" sheets with all the numbers! Never easier! :wub:

Yeah, the number decal sheet is the way to go. I'll be doing it this way from now on in most cases.

By the way, has anyone running these cars experience any error flags, presumably related to Bin Patch?

How exactly do ya renumber with the decal sheet? And can you change the roll sign too?

Nope, I just don't have enough bins to catch all this drool with :thumbup3: I think my keyboard just short-circuited.

By the way Paul, those are great screen shots!

Hi Zach,

Open the ace file 12521372.ace and save as a tga. You'll find a complete range of the road numbers used by these cars, the "Decal Sheet":


Until the full sets of these cars are released (with or along with the route) you can add more cars by copy/pasting a new road number from the sheet over the car's original number.

The roll sign can be changed by accessing the roldash1.ace the same way, but you will have to have the same fonts that I used. If you wish to do so, PM me for the fonts.

As for the dash signs along the bottom of the file, these have some hand-made elements along with custom fonts.

:thumbup3: That's a problem alright! Glad to hear it though.

So I put the new number over the origional number then, right?

Yep. All four number parts are textured from one road number. So if you want to change 1252 to 1256, just make a selection around that number, copy it, then paste it over the original number, making sure it's square on top of the old number.

[NSL Fan]

Thanks Tim, I now have, in addition to the original 1252 and 1255 in their original arrangements:1252, 1253, 1254, 1255, 1256, and 1257-all with two headlights and LA limitied destination boards and cards. :thumbup3:

Anyhoo... the screenies.

First, a roster shot of my current straight cars (not including the two combos, which are equally excellent models.



Next, a series of photos showing a Fan Trip with the 1255

Sweet!

You know what I really like about these pics? Seeing Downtown Trolley again. I don't have it anymore, and even though it's dated, it was a fun route to run with a lot of operation possibilities.

Did someone say Pacific Electric? :dance3:
