Thanks..I try that.....:-| > But, wait are you saying the reason I only get buses because the start is > 1930?

When Josef posted the link to the docs (http://wiki.ttdpatch.net/tiki-view_faq.php?faqId=7#q34), he also considered the possibility that your games may be starting in 1930. But until you tell us, there is no way for us to be sure... Before you start flooding us with questions, I suggest you have another try with the docs and the FAQ, skipping the parts that "go way over your head".
