How does one load downloaded trains?

Post by bendigo »

Hi, Having only bought this yesterday I am perplexed as to why the all the items i downloaded off UKTS and extracted using the extractor tool from the RS website are not coming up in the scenario editor as locos (they where the Ivitt tank and the A1 Terrier). Help please.

Hi Robert.

What you need to do is take a look at the middle left flyout in world editor. Click the little blue box near the top of flyout - then expand right-hand side flyout. It will show a list of developers of the locos you have d/l. In order to show up in your content list simply click on checkbox next to each developer. Your new locos should now be visable in list.

If you are still having problems let me know and I'll suggest some other things that can prevent rolling stock from showing up.

Hi Bob and welcome to the Forum,

To expand on what Blackpatch has said:

Have you 'unlocked' the Route to enable 'Edit' (the padlock at bottom of the Screen in Edit mode)

You will then need to enable the Assets (ie Rolling Stock) in the right side flyout in 'Edit' mode for the Rolling Stock to appear in that Route.

Load the Route you want the Ivatt Tank to appear in (using 'Edit' mode) LMB click the blue cube with orange arrow in the left side mid flyout... then enable the originator of the item you want to add (RDSL, Kuju, kevmt, etc. For the Ivatt it's kevmt) in the right side flyout - put a tick in the box.

The Ivatt will then appear in the left hand 'fly out' Rolling Stock menu, repeat for the other items you have downloaded and installed.

Also, repeat the above on the Each Route you want to run the Add-ons.

Hope that makes sense.

EDIT: I have attached a picture of the Fly Outs below (the originator showing is Acorn to get others use the down arrow), you can also see the Padlock that must be open.
