![]() Cinders were fairly "sturdy," and if well and deeply layered lasted for decades after the demise of steam. In steam days there were usually cinders that had fallen from ash bins mixed with the rock ballast between the rails. You may have to mix colors of Ballast.Īs the general consensus suggests, steam roads ballasted yards and secondary tracks with cinders, which allowed water to drain down and away from the tracks (you sometimes came across little streams and culverts in some yards for this purpose), while main line trackage was graded to be higher than the surrounding terrain, with gravel ballast tamped well to keep the tracks in place-and usually had ditches running parallel to carry runoff to streams that ran through the grade in culverts. Go to a quarry in you area and see the color. Just try to match the local rock in your area you are modeling. It was not cost efective to haul stone hundreds of miles when you can get it just a few miles away. But the mains are always groomed 3 inch minus stone from the local quaries. Its your rail road so use what ever you want. Here on Cape Cod sand was used and in the hey day even clam and oyster shells for ballast. A small hot rolling mill could generate hundreds of tons of it in a week. My uncle worked for USS and loaded open hoppers with slag. Most of the yard track around Cleveland was laid in slag. Slag was a waste product from the mills that was given to the RRs. The smaller granules where better for the crews who worked the switches instead of tripping on rocks. Secondary lines and yards where great places to have slag from the steel mills and cinders from the service areas. The PRR used whatever they could get cheap for fill and ballast. I have no idea why I had to restart my PC since that is not normally a step you'd have to perform, but I guess I did.Dont forget about slag also. This is going to sound dumb and weird, but what I did was a clean install of the game, the mod, set the game to launch as admin in the compatibility settings, and then restarted my PC. ![]() Or is it possible that the Nexus version is just not up to snuff and I should be using the Github version?Įdit: For anyone else with this problem, I found what solution worked for me! Hopefully it works for you. Is it just me, or is anyone else having this issue? I'm pretty sure I followed all instructions to a T. I followed directions to a T and even still have my vanilla save, but for some reason the game just instantly crashes if I try to run it with the Cinders mod as of 2.12. I tried just updating which caused it to crash on startup so I tried completely uninstalling and reinstalling the game with a fresh new slate and re-installing the mod. Is anyone else having an issue with the 2.12 version of Cinders just constantly crashing on startup? DS3 runs fine by itself and all of its previous iterations ran fine for me, but after a long break I decided to come back and play Cinders again (haven't played since the last update). I checked the Nexus but it seems like comments on the Cinders mod are turned off? There's no post section for some reason, so I figured I'd check here. Hey, so I'm just curious if this is just a me problem or not. ![]()
