Thanks Wolfgang. I did ponder on just what I might need to change but as I was unsure I didn't want to make a mess of things. Now I can add yet more information to the old memory banks. Kind regards Pete

Hi Wolfgang Very many thanks for taking the trouble to provide me with a solution to my problem. It really is brilliant. Clearly the key is knowing, understanding and being able to execute Lua, something that I have no real understanding of. One element that I would like to change in your demo is the direction of rotation of the turntable owing to the fact that in my layout there are some old garages to the left of the fire engine so if this were to turn in the opposite direction it would miss these. All of that said I should also mention that a very good friend of mine has also provided me with a solution which also works perfectly and takes account of the garages. So now I have 2 solutions, both of which offer a different approach but nevertheless each has opened my eyes to alternative possibilities which will not only come in handy with this layout but will also help me greatly with other scenarios by enlarging my knowledge of how to approach certain problems, so once again very many thanks. Kind regards Pete

following on from my initial request and in an effort to clarify the issue. In properties for this model I need to be able to set Neigung to a 0.2 limit in forward motion, Drehen to 0.65 in forward motion and ausfahren to 0.2 also in forward motion. In the reverse operation all 3 need to reset to 0. Clearly this can be done in the properties window but I need to be able to make this happen via my EV and as yet cannot see how this can be done. I feel it must be possible otherwise what is the point of having these elements move in the first place, setting them manually rather defeats the object somewhat. All suggestions will be gratefully received Pete

Hi In my present layout I am utilising, amongst others, model Fire Engine ladders 18 (by seehund). Whilst I can set each of the components manually to achieve the correct position for each component I cannot find out how to do this in my EV. Setting the out outriggers (stuetzen) is easy enough but I also need to set the following to specific points Drehen to 0.65, Neigung to 0.2 and ausfahren to 0.2. This then allows for everything to look right in the layout, see attached screenshot. I have attached a test layout for the purpose of getting this right but thus far without any success. If anyone can point me in the right direction I would be most appreciative. Kind regards Pete Fire engine test layout.mbp

Many thanks for the information. Once again I have learnt something today which will hopefully help me not to make the same mistake again. Best regards Pete

Hi Sualokink So I believe from HWB Berlin. I had noted that the model along with several others was accepted into the catalogue in September of last year. I am a little curious, was fmkberlin and seehund one of the same as both seem to add items to the catalogue on the same day or was that just a coincidence? Best regards Pete

@seehund Hi I am using several of your great model fire engines in my current layout, see attached screenshot. This layout is based on road traffic utilising right hand drive and whilst I realise that I need to compromise using many of the models in the catalogue which are currently only left hand drive this is a fact that can easily live with, although @SualokinKhas very kindly provided me with several right hand drive versions of his wonderful models. Anyway I digress somewhat. The purpose for my message is to see if it would be possible for you to supply, I believe it is called "swap texture" for one of your fire engine models, the one mentioned above. I have managed to modify each of the others by using a text box below the front windscreen, as per screenshot, and to do the same for the number plates but I cannot do this for the WLF model so if there is any possibility of making the required change to this model as well that I would be most grateful. Living in hope. Kind regards Pete

Hi Sualokink Yet more great models from the Sualokink stable. As yet I have not had time to check them out fully but hopefully that will be rectified later this evening. I can now update my police station with additional modern equipment. As always a right had drive version would be perfect but then it's not a perfect world anymore!!!! Best regards Pete

Hi Goetz That's brilliant, many thanks. I thought I had looked at all possible options, clearly I had not. Anyway, onwards and upwards now, thanks. Kind regards Pete

Hi to all my fellow MBS enthusiasts. This may seem like a very basic question but can anyone please tell me how to enable or disable the steam particle for, example, the above loco, in Event Management. Clearly it is possible to manually do so in properties but I am wanting to do this automatically through the EV. Kind regards Peter

Thank you @Sualokink, thank you @Neo. All is now working perfectly. Best regards Pete

You and me both. I simply put it down to yet another senior moment, I have lots of those, but it does cover a multitude if things. Best regards Pete

Hi Sualokink I notice that the door mirrors have now been attached to the RS3 version and work perfectly when the doors open but as yet none of the doors work with the RH drive version. No doubt you have this in hand but just in case I thought it worth mentioning. Best regards Pete

Hi Sualokink Well you've doner it yet again. Another superb model to add to your ever growing stable of wonderful models. A special thank you for the right hand drive version which is very much appreciated. Best regards Pete

Hi Goetz I have also noticed that due to so much meddling with the Bentley I seem to have a train or two out of position. This has now been corrected. You will also no doubt have numerous large question marks for both 2 trains, their carriages and a couple of cars. If this is any issue I can supply the appropriate file to correct this anomaly. These are The Flying Scotsman, The Mallard, and 2 BMW cars. Kind regards Pete
