Neil Cunningham's A3 Loco reskins vs the SSS Flying Scotsman

Now that I have three beautiful A1's (thanks Neil), I really want the A3's - however I have one concern that I seek advise on.
I have a really nice Steam Sound Supreme (SSS) Flying Scotsman Sound Pack - Pegler Edition ("FlyingScotsman1"). Wonderful sound, smoke and a Steam Chest. I am very loath todo anything that might conflict with that installation.
I don't THINK Neil's A3's will effect my SSS Pack, as I have UKTS' A3's Coronach and Solario (which require the same "Flying Scotsman" DLC from Steam that SSS does), and they work fine.
However, as SSS uses its own installer, as does Neil, I don't really know where all the files are located - and therefore would have a problem returning to my original configuration if there is some conflict.
Question: has anyone installed Neil's A3's that already has the same SSS Flying Scotsman Pack installed? If so, any problems? Comments?

Best regards to you all,

Bill

Bill - I don't have ther pack of which you speak - but I can state that I don't move or alter any files during my install - just copy a load into new folders and then apply the upgrade to those.

So you should be able to install mine with impunity.

Good luck

Neil

Hi Neil,

Thank you VERY much for your comments. Should you, or any other reader of the topic, want to know the answer - you are entirely correct! You CAN download your A3's with impunity. They work perfectly, and have no effect on the SSS version of Flying Scotsman.

However, I can find all your versions EXCEPT the Late A3 60101 Cicero. I got a good install notification on both my early and late versions, and I can find all of them in the QD Consist Builder (and they all successfully build a consist) - except Cicero, which is nowhere to be found. I would love to have it - if the problem can be located.

Best regards,

Bill

Cicero installed okay for me and I was able to add it to a Free Roam scenario.

Thanks for the input John. My Steam loco listings start (for A3's) with A3 60103 Flying Scotsman (early). There is NO listing for A3 60101.
Neil: If you read this, how do I get at 60101? If I do another download of the A3's and then install again - do I put my current perfect install of the other A3's at risk?

Whoops, my mistake. I don't have Cicero either. I was sure I used it yesterday. Sorry about that.

I do have a couple of strange entries in the loco list:
A3-cabside-nbrs
A3-smokebox-nbrs
I wonder if they are a clue as to what happened to Cicero.

John.

John/Bill

I never activated Cicero (didn't get round to doing the nameplate so left it for v2). The bits of which you speak are the result of some careless b*stard forgetting to make them 'unpickable' which means they show up .... can't get the staff you know.
