SDA Template Locos Not Available Options

[nbeveridge]

I was considering generating and posting an activity for this route to the t-s file library (publicity for AG4 and the template), until I discovered that the Nickel Plate website which hosts the loco files is no longer available. In place of those locos I could use either the DW U25B set, the GP9E's from the MLT SPH1 set, or the 3dTrains F7's. Any other suggestions for replacement power?

Denis,

Which version of the route is your template for? V2? V2.1? V1? I ask because I noticed that your template has all the \ACTIVITIES etc. folders inside the \SDA1 folder. Since the template was posted in August I'm guessing it's for v 2.1.

Thanks,

Steve

Hi Steve,

It is V2.1 It may see odd to see SDA1 as the main folder inside the template package. Usually the folder name must match the tdb, trk files of the route. The files inside the v2 zip package are SDA1.tdb, SDA!,trk, etc.

The zip file of the v2 route package didn't include the route folder name. In such case the folder name must be the same than the track file names. I have tried once to change the folder name of another route, the Northwest line, in which case the folder name as well as the files were "fan03". I have encountered problems, can't recall what but had to return to the original folder name here the fan03.
