Known Problems: Switching activities require use of the front coupler, which can be a problem due to MSTS bugs. Installation of the Microsoft patch (http://www.microsoft.com/games/trainsim/tech.asp) is recommended if this is a problem. Also, modified ENG and Wag files for default equipment used in activities are included with the route in order to reduce derailment problems from the patch
