Hi Folks,

I'm John and I'm brand new to all this, so I've got a load of dsft questions to ask.

First thing I would like to know is, when you make up a consist do you have to put an engine up front, is there a way to save it so you can have any Loco pull it?

Secondly, because I'm using XP I can't use the FFedit utility to view the s' file. Can someone advise me on this?

I'll pull the plug just now and hope somebody can help a real rooky

Cheers

John.

Hi, yes you can set up a consist without an engine but to use it you will have to go into the editors and place it in your route as a static consist.

You need the excellent Shape viewer programme (available from 1st screen as a download) to view the s files. ffedit is a decompressor tool not a viewer.

there are some excellent tutorials on this site about how to use the editors etc in the library.

Hope this helps

Hi John
To view shape files use

Thanks People, I'll get the hang of it eventually

Hi John,

Alternatively You Could Build Consits With This:
