Or I may have installed the Needles 10/03/13 upgrade in the wrong order.

My recollection is that I had to do that with the Needles Sub, since I had missed one of the upgrade packages that I think have been rolled into the 12/23 or 2/27 upgrades. I think that should help to keep all of the pieces in alignment.

If you did not previously install the 12/23 and 2/27 upgrades before you installed the Needles Sub, or if you missed the Needles Sub upgrade 10/3/13 or did not install it in the correct order, you may wish to consider uninstalling the Mojave and Needles Subs, then proceeding with a reinstall in the order that they give -including especially the upgrades in their correct relative positions. I copied the order and have it below for a reference example, but I'd recommend following it from the site just in case something did not copy over. Then install in the order given on their site.

You may well have done that already as part of the original Mojave install. It works well, and keeps a multiplayer session from crashing because someone does not own the paid-content equipment which was included in a previously built train.Д«e sure that you have installed the Microsoft XNA 3.1 Redistributable onto your system before you do anything else, as described on this page on their site. This enables individuals who have not purchased an equipment package to participate in a multiplayer session, with the 'beautiful' Run 8-marked cars substituting in trains instead of the railroad/shipper-marked equipment. The 'free versions' of each are the actual models, but with Run 8 markings rather than railroad/shipper markings.

If memory serves, this upgrade is the one that did the real work of creating the Barstow-Yermo middle section out of the Mojave and Needles Subs.ДЈ) Purchasing and downloading any of the additional paid or free equipment packages you might wish to have at this time (this is optional). There have been references to that fact previously as I have downloaded and installed various update/upgrade packages in the past.ДЎ) Downloading the two upgrade packages (12/23/13 and 2/27/14).Дў) Downloading the Needles Sub upgrade 10/03/13. I am pretty sure that now all of the various updates that I installed one-by-one as they became available have been rolled into three relatively cumulative update/upgrade packages dated 12/23/13 and 2/27/14, and 10/03/13 for the Needles Sub. I work in IT, and I know how updates can have sequential and referential dependencies to prior and subsequent updates, particularly when there are various options that might or might not be purchased, but for which there needs to be allowance. I was never bothered by having to do that. It was always important that those were installed in the correct order. As someone who first installed the Mojave Sub within a couple of weeks of its first introduction, I have had downloads of many updates along the way, not including the various paid add-on equipment packages (and a couple of free ones).

It looks like the process of installing the Needles Sub route and merging it with the Mojave Sub has been simplified somewhat, and is now handled through the update process. Not difficult, but just something you need to do. Bear with me while I recall the process and perhaps find some references for you. I'll get back to you further on this thread. There was a process for making this happen that I need to recall. They solved the issue by making an intermediate Barstow-Yermo route, which is grafted out of the other two and acts as a kind of a bridge or keystone between the Mojave and Needles Subs. Initially when Run 8 came out with the Needles Sub, there were some issues with it working together smoothly with the Mojave. Once you have both the Mojave and Needles Subs, they must function together. Run 8 has many strengths, but good documentation is not among them. This is, regrettably, not well documented. The quick answer is that you must perform a merge process between the two routes, and then associate the various trains with them. I'll give you a quick answer for now while I look for further references to help you.
