Right click the button and select "save link as".

That train was in the very first Microsoft Train sim. I have Railworks2 and am wondering if after install I can import the train into Railworks2.

That supposed game controls pdf has an extension I am not familiar with. Shouldn't it be .pdf if it is a PDF file?

RW_Keyboard_Signal_Guide_Web.ashx

Thanks for the link.

I'm wondering that too.
I bought Railworks 2 plus a couple of addons today in the Steam sale, didn't buy the Scotsman for it though luckily.
At the current download speed I should be able to play Railworks 2 about this time tomorrow LOL.

The manuals are .pdf's on my install

Tried the right click already and all I get is a gif picture. frown
It says the download is roughly 600 MB. Has anyone downloaded it and know the actual size of the file ?

562MB download, 799MB installed.
The download worked for me by just left clicking it.

I'll have to see if the facebook page has any answers.

I would question what is wrong with your browser settings. Don't you have another browser installed you can use? I mostly use FF and customize it with plugins but if I ever get a non functioning page with it I just open up IE.

Ah I see. I just tried it and changing the extension to pdf works. the game installs the same file with the correct extension anyway so not a big problem.

I am using IE8 and it won't allow me to download the file. It's the first time I have run into this problem using IE.

OK, thanks. As you can probably tell I have not installed it yet so didn't know the files are the same.

http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fileextensions/f/ashxfile.htm

Question: What is an ASHX File?

Did you find an ASHX file on your computer and wonder what program should open it? Maybe someone emailed you an ASHX file but you're not sure how to use it. Perhaps you tried to open the ASHX file but Windows told you that it could not open it.

Before you can open an ASHX file (assuming it's even a file format that's intended to be viewed or edited), you'll need to determine what kind of file the ASHX file extension refers to.
Answer: A file with the ASHX file extension is an ASP.NET Web Handler file.

Now, knowing that, how is it a pdf file if the extension is .ashx?
