Also add, that on land I can only get 18 tile bridge. > Any bridge length up to 18 works on land or sea. But no will not go be on > 18 lengths. You get the error msg can't build bridge here. Yes, you're right, it's broken. I'll fix it in the next release. > I also use the American train set and with the new Station Menu change.

Yes, the new stations typically don't have layouts for all lengths and numbers of platforms. That's just how the graphics are written and if a layout isn't defined, the patch can't offer it. You can of course also build it 6x7 instead of 3x15, but for larger stations you need to choose a different set I'm afraid. -- Josef Drexler | http://publish.uwo.ca/~jdrexler/ ---------------------------------+--------------------------------------- Please help Conserve Gravity | Email address is *valid*.
