Firstly, do you have the actual Class 380 from Steam?

Just looked at the download, and it correctly has the .geo files omitted for security. However, there are no instructions on the download page, nor is there a readme included, it seems you need a crystal ball. :-?

This would be similar to the instructions required:-

Navigate to: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\railworks\Assets\TotalizeMedia\Class380Pack01\RailVehicles\Electric\class380\scotrail\engine copy the three .geopcdx files and paste them into C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\railworks\Assets\TotalizeMedia\Class380Pack01\RailVehicles\Electric\class380\Heathrow Express\engine

Then delete the Blueprints.pak file from C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\railworks\Assets\TotalizeMedia\Class380Pack01 and it should now be useable in Railworks. (If you have the Class 380 as per the first question)

I do have the 380 from steam. Blueprints were deleted and files were copied over but nothing appears. I placed the scotrail version in the scenario and then changed with heathrow express in RWtools but no luck!!

Make sure you have the right shape (.geopcdx) files in the right engine folder. If it appears in the browser window then the shape files being in the wrong place are almost certainly the problem.

I think im right that the 380 from Steam and the 380 in GARL are in the same folder location but that might be worth checking. But who owns both?!

Working at last. The engine folder was the only folder in the Heathrow Express folder!! So I copied over the folders in the Scotrail as well and its ok now.

Thanks for help
