I find the trick is to build spaced-out track layouts, using the signals carefully to make sure the trains don't get in each others way.

Great stations, but how do you make the fences where you want them? I thought you could only do that in the scenario editor

I think so. You have to unzip the savegame editor (AMItrains has it) and select your lomo directory. Then you open a savegame, choose which dat to add, and save your game. Be sure to make a backup though.

Really? The closest thing i can find is "Loco SSA" which says "Locomotion Scenario & Savegame Analyzer. Check Your scenarios and game saves for missing objects."

@MJD
What program did you use for converting? Some random program could break it. Even opening the BMP file in paint and saving as PNG will work correctly.
