    Hi

    I have a custom route where some part of the route is electric and some isn't. Can someone show me or point to a tutorial on how to change the part of the route that isn't electric to be electric. I don't need to add lines and visual stuff. I just need an electric train to be able to drive on the tracks (simulating a battery train).

    I know a bit about how to use TS-tools but I just cant find what i'm supposed to do. Thank in advance.

    Hi, A link to 1 video :
    Plenty of other videos out there on you tube but its pretty simple: jsut changing the track properties in the route editor.

    In the World Editor press the spacebar to change the track view - after 4 or 5 presses it will show this sort of view

    Where the track is Black with white symbol it is not Electrified

    Where it is White with the Black Flash that is Electric..

    Click on the Track Symbol then the Selection Box

    Place the marker on the track and whilst holding the Shift Key move the marker along

    When you stop selecting this appears and in the section with the Electric flash you change to Overhead or Third Rail

    F2 to Save after Changing

    Thanks for the help. I ended up using the editor instead of TS-tools. The 5 time spacetrick helped a lot.
