Full Version: Can I add cars/engines to an preexisting activity?

Newbie question and probably a stupid one at that. Can I add cars and or engines to an activity that I have downloaded from Train-Sim.com? I have numerous activities which I would like populate with cars or engines in the yards and some side tracks. Can I add them to an activity and if so how? I've never really tried to use the templates but I have resolved to try to learn to use them. Hopefully, they're not as complicated as they appear - I am rather stupid in my old age.
Thanks, Rich

You sure can add extra consits to existing activities. I've done that quite a bit with activities that I have downloaded. You can even add action events, such as pickups and setouts, as well. One word of caution, if it is a rail yard, add cars sparingly so you don't decrease the frame rates too much. It's great to see many cars, but it will cause the program to become slugish. You will need to use the Activity Editor to make the additions. I added a couple of links below that give a general idea on how to add them. I wasn't able to find one that was really detailed yet, but I'll look some more.
