In FMB select the (train) engine and place waypoint's over an existing railroad.
Can create custom compositions selecting different train cars, one type carry ammo and explode if hit by cannons, in flat cars can add Bofor's AAA.
Limitation, due CloD quirks some section of railroad are broken and you can't place waypoints ahead, some streams lack bridges... so train end stuck in this places.
Thanks for reply lads
got them on the tracks WOW
The detail is excellent . What a good job has been made of these
Is it possible to lay new track ???
No, is not possible add rail tracks, only roads.
Trains of CloD was creation of German modeler know as "Foobar", who end pissed with CloD failed venture.The detail is excellent.
It was a real shame as foobar created some outstanding railstock. I spoke with him about letting TFS use his models but sadly, while he did agree, there was a condition that all the models would have systems similar to aircraft, so that simmers could use them to drive locomotives. Unfortunately there was no way TFS could commit anywhere near the labour involved in that and the discussion ended.
Foobar is an amazingly talented modeller and it would have been great to strafe them up

Thanks for info on modelling guy, very talented that's for sure .
A lot of work for something that might never get used or noticed as most action takes place in the air.
Fantastic clip Larry , BUT do you know how to place track ? i have tried but nothing happens
thanks lads

There are lots of elements in the CLIFFS OF DOVER code engine which could be developed and made more complex.
However, as mentioned, the question of whether spending a lot of time and effort on elaborating on the existing code, when the game is primarily a Flight Simulation, has to be considered.
We are making a number of changes in TF 5.0 to the game systems for vehicles and ships, but those changes are being implemented with the intention they are complementary... the game remains focused on aircraft.
Place the "Rail" waypoint's and in menu View click in "Process roads", after you can place train waypoint's over.
There's a way for put vehicles in "looping" but forget how are and don't know if work for trains.
Adding a custom composition with flat cars - short and long, you can put cargo over then, like containers or (functional) AAA (MG or Bofors) in the short and vehicles in the long.

Tick "Show skin" for see the options.
BTW - When train waypoint is difficult to "glue" over the rail is because terrain have a bug in the region and tracks are not usable, when this happens you are not able to save the mission.

Thanks for help on this lads much appreciated .
I will look into custom compositions i think i have seen posts on this somewhere .
cheers
