Okay Bill try this ...

Awesome man!
Greatly appreciated.... This answers alot of questions I had. The big icon engine things really scared me off in this. That video really makes it look easy.
Now.. How does one copy/paste a Scenario (or is it Route) and rename it? Can that be easily done? This way, I can go in and totally change the scenario, rename it, put in my own engines, etc, without losing my original.
It would also be nice to just create different routes/scenarios' that are the same ones, but diff times of day, diff weather. The routes/scenarios are pretty nice, but having a diff time of day, or reverse it would be nice.

Nope sorry can't help ya ...
I dove into RW in a completely different format than what you're trying to do.
I decided only after about 8 hours of playing with the "canned" trains, to build my own route and I have been so single minded focused on that I haven't done anything else, including driving trains.
Just trying to absorb all there is in route building, finding out how to export CAD files to 3DCanvas and how to export 3DC to RWs after texturing and all like that.
LOL! I ain't got time to learn that stuff you want to know ...

that is the first way i learned
but you cannot see the stock
so i make a duplicate scenerio
then use the edit mode in railworks
and change them
but its a good way to change weather
im sorry but im a lousy teacher
on line, give me a one on one in person or on the phone and i can walk anyone through it
it took me a while to ad a driver etc
but now thats easy
thats just for free roams at the moment
im working on timetable scenerios now

Thanks guys. Massively appreciated.
For you Snuffy, you will probably also want to learn AI for other trains in the routes, when you get to that point, so that you arent the only one out there driving around, if you are on a two way rail set. In these Scenarios, its nice to be around the other engines as well, meeting another engine going in the opposite direction at the station at the same time, etc.
Working all the time tables is the hard part... whew...... Must have taken these guys quite a while to get this sim assembled and why there arent a load more Scenarios to run, lol.
Thanks again.

Awesome......!
That should do it. I can now install that Bullet into my British scenery scenario.. I am going to cook through that countryside....! :d
Thanks for the heads up Snuffy...

Hey guys,
Man... I cant believe this. I tried putting that dang Pandolino 390 EMU in various tracks and scenario clonings and it crashed RW every single time.
I then tested it and ran the regular route and they booted up, but the ones with the Pandolino in them crashed every time.
I looked through the Dump file to see if I could spot the problem, but it appears to be written in binary or hex.
So then I cloned a route / scenario and unlocked it, went in with Edit mode and tried to switch out engines to the Pandolino that way, and the P didnt even how up in the listing for engines.
Well, I gave it a shot.
Time to get back to train driving... (and making planes).

Hey Pam,
They are an Italian train maker and got into leaning, so that older tracks could be taken at high speeds. I guess they are now considered tilting bullet trains, capable of very high speeds.
I got one, payware for RW, and it has 'one' darn Scenario... lol.. I cant get it into any other Scenarios. At some forums, one said, that such and such a route, the train is too wide and hits the station platforms, and another was that it wont run certain routes as they are not wired for electrics. So I got this payware that I cant drive now. It has a fantastic VC, and actually tilts in the turns. Maybe someday, someone will have routes for it, even with speeds like that one for the Chunnel.
Here are some pictures of what they look like, but not like the payware I got.

Very cool 
Thanks Bill.. That is indeed a very gorgeous looking train and one i'll have to look into next month perhaps ( got this thing about pantographs. There aint none in america :: sheesh i'm such a nationalist ).
I chose a slightly different direction and went with the class 220 and 221 voyagers available from Just trains. They're multi-units but diesel instead of electric. A set was bought by Amtrak a ways ago and it plies its way up and down the northeastern corridor. Thanks to it, Train usage has increased, and Amtrak is expanding those lines up into maine, with a little 35 million dollar gift from the whitehouse. Nice gift..
I'm going to try and wrap my brain around its paintkit ( comes with one ) and paint it for use on the Cascades Express line vrom Vancouver BC to Eugene Or, and possibly down into California. The train amtrak uses on it now is about butt ugly. Some italian thing. if you take a shoe box and step on its middle section and nearly flatten it, you'll have a pretty good representation of the appearance of the current train on that route. it's uuuuugly.
Theres new scenery being made for the route that goes from california to eugene, and a thread on it over at railworks america. i was looking at pics of it last night, and i'll tell it. i was blown away.. I can almost tell you exactly where some of those pics are taken, just by looking. the guy has nailed the cascades on the head and he's doing a fantastic job of it, although he's only going up as far as crater lake. Hopefully someone will pick up from there and take the route up into british columbia.
Will leave you with a couple of pics. hope you enjoy them..

Hey H, I'll take a 220 on the Oxford if you can or the 390 on any British electric track. Anything! lol..
I need to find this 220. That looks like one fantastic unit.. I have been wanting the Virgin train specifically.. (envy here for that train).
