Does it have a Readme, and have you installed it in the way it says? You might be better off asking on the site you downloaded from.

Hi, afterlooking at the download, you need to copy default into the class 66 folder & overwrite the original, also overwrite the numbers with the number folder in the zip. AND delete blueprints.pak afterwards

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\railworks\Assets\RSDL\RailSimulator\RailVehicles\Diesel\Class66 <--it's going to be in a location like that depending on your computer.

If it is the download I think it is then it is just a case of copying the whole folder to the location above starting up railworks go to the tools & docs tab then press clear cache.



I'm sure those that know more about computers will help you of you need more information. 8)

The RW_Trainsim download page says:

Description: This class 66 in Freightliner liverie replaces your green Freightliner. He has the correct numbers :

The "Freightliner 66" folder should be "copy & pasted" to:-

..\steamapps\common\railworks\Assets\RSDL\RailSimulator\RailVehicles\Diesel\Class66

5(Class 66/4) 66401-405
95 (Class 66/5) 66501-520/522-581/584-585/587-599
25 (Class 66/6) 66601-625
7 (Class 66/9) 66951-957


However, I'm not sure whether you should even think of installing this - it actually contains the payware shape file, something I'm sure Railsimulator.com would be very unhappy about.

If anybody has issues with this download accidentally including the shape file (RW-Trainsim does have a no payware policy so it would be accidental) then I would recommend deleting the shape file from the extracted archive and copying in the rest of it.

The inclusion may be accidental, but it does appear to show that RW-Trainsim haven't checked a file that has been on the site for over a year. I've just posted a message about this on their forum, suggesting they remove the geometry file from the archive.

Has a reputation for including pay ware assets in their download library - certainly had some in the past, but I haven't looked recently.

Thanks Alan

Have to say I only downloaded a couple of skins from there some time ago and ditched them quite quickly as the quality left rather a lot to be desired in my opinion. Just indulging in some idle curiosity :)
