OK I was trying to run #18 scenario for the Colton & Northern when I encountered a problem with the turntable aligning itself to the tracks. At the beginning of the activity it tells you to turn your train around using the turntable. I set my locomotive up in the center of the turntable and press "G" until it aligns to the desired track. The 2 small sections of track behind the turntable with the stops align perfectly. It's just the exit track back to the yard tracks won't align causing a derailment. I know this is probably a RS thing and not a problem with your route. I was just wondering if there is a fix for this problem? I have searched Train Sim and Rail Simulator websites, but have found nothing. sad.gif Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Rich I just love this route. It is just the right size to give the small town local railroad feeling. Scenery is awesome and detail is superb! I look forward to your next venture into route building whether it be RS or the new RW that is coming out soon. Take care and keep up the great work! biggrin.gif

Hi Wayne,

Yep, it's a graphic glitch where probably the axis isn't totally centered like it should be and the turntable on the reverse end isn't lined up like it should. Freaked me out too as I expected the engine to go tumbling but your engine will exit just fine. Solution is.... don't look. I thought they'd have a patch or something to fix the turntable, maybe they don't know. Nothing I can do to fix it. But it is cool to have working turntables.

Thanks for the kudos on the route. It was a lot of fun to do even if I did get a little carried away on the detail. blush.gif
