Yea, as soon as I clicked on it in the task list it disappeared.

I think it was one of the tracks near the Helper Wye. It was called "Helper Yard Independant", or something to that effect. It may not be scenario related. It could be a route error. We all know it wouldn't be the first time there was an error in a route. In the scenario, it's shortly after you drop the caboose on the left leg of the wye. You then reverse, travel the right leg of the wye, and stop on a track called "Independant".

All good jb, I realize u cant put water in a fuel tanker..lol...I did check on the misspelling and I went into the scenario and that "Independant" marker was gone. I have no idea why. I don't even remember putting a marker named that.

I hope you don't think I was being disrespectful, as that was not my intent. I'm enjoying these scenarios, and they are far superior to the ones that came with the route. They are well though out and creative. You asked for constructive feedback on the scenarios, and that is what I provided. I've already played a couple of scenarios that I didn't comment on because there was nothing to comment on. They were that good. Please take my comments as feedback only, and not as criticism. :)

JB, I know all this, it takes just a little imagination to play my scenarios. I never claim any of my scenarios to be true to form, I make these to be fun and I use what the route gives me. This is a long series so if you are going to point out everything that is wrong with each and every scenario just wait until the last one to post everything wrong I did. Thanks for playing.

Another great scenario! Just a couple of minor things. The track, or location, named "Independant" is spelled wrong. It should be "Independent". The other minor issue is the tank cars are labeled as "flammable" (notice the little red diamond on the end and sides of the car), and thus wouldn't be hauling water (unless water is now flammable, in which case...we are all in trouble!). If you ever do another update to this scenario, consider changing out the tankcars for one that doesn't have the "flammable" sign on it.

I had a weird issue I hadn't seen before where the HUD said I was on track 504, but the map showed I was on track 502. I saved, exited, and re-loaded the scenario, and it was correct when it re-loaded. It wasn't scenario related...just thought I'd share this strange event I hadn't seen before. Looking forward to "Leaving Helper - Part 3".

Yes, I got that not being able to couple many times on this route. Just a clearing/reboot will do it. :)
Just remember to save after each completed task, it helps when having to reboot.

Very nice one RB!!!. just had a bug where i had to re-connect the loco to the caboose after the coal units were connected on the wye..the loco was just ramming into the caboose without locking up.. performed the tried and tested method of clearing the cache as suggested by you so many times... and VIOLA!!!.. it worked.. always end up with satisfaction and a big smile upon completing your scenarios... :steamhappy:

Clear your cache from the main menu in the TOOLS option then try again.

This one appears to have a bug. When you finish on track 502 it doesn't sense you are there. Can't finish scenario.

Thanks so much gasman, love doing it. Wish I had more time to work on them and putting them out more frequently.

Superb scenario RB - very challenging as always but great fun to do! Everything worked fine for me.

Thanks so much LeadCatcher. Love creating and sharing, always want them to be interesting and fun. :)

Excellent scenario -- really like learning the Helper yard and seeing parts you would never see till a master scnerio developer like yourself makes the simulation seem alive -- thanks again for you time and sharing your work with the community

I fixed it and re-uploaded it...found duplicate wagon numbers, system get confused. All good now (I hope)

Ran this before, got the x like FuzzyFace, but just muddled through. Ran it now and it worked.
If this is the only glitch in your scenarios that is amazing given how many you have made. Again, as always thanks for all your work, and for clearing this one up.
RBJets  [author] 16 Aug, 2017 @ 12:34pm 
SHEWW, Yea I added some coal wagons and didnt check to see if there were any duplicate numbers before uploading, there system gets confused when there are the same numbers and thinks the car has already been dropped or in the wrong spot...etc.... Glad it worked for you.
FuzzyFace 16 Aug, 2017 @ 10:25am 
I deleted the scenario, re-loaded it and it is working fine. Thanks for all your work - anything but boring.
FuzzyFace 16 Aug, 2017 @ 8:55am 
I get an "X" on the 1st step. Tried several times. Only run you have made that I have any problem with.

Welcome Warren, thanks. :)

Nothing like a good shunt scenario, and this one is a good'un.
Many thanks again RB, enjoyed it. Cheers, Warren
