Hi guys

I got ttdpatch installed and have turned electric railways on and the file
electric railways grf is unzipped in the newgrf folder.

I don't get any electric track types or trains even by 2030.

other graphics such as canals and new ships all seam to work but not
electric railways.

What is the -XE paramenter in the FAQ

The line in ttdpatch.cfg is electrifiedrailway=on

Please help

Do you know that you have to choose the track type, by holding the mouse 
button when you click on railway construction?

That's for if you use the command line to configure TTDPatch, instead of 
ttdpatch.cfg.

Looks ok.

Iยดd like to add that electric locomotives can only be built in an appropriate
depot - the "electrified depot" and the non-electrified look suspiciously
similar ...

Did you add the appropriate line to your newgrf(w).cfg?
