Just to clarify things - there's nothing wrong in asking for a particular item to be made/converted, and there's no problem with anyone making/converting items for their own personal use. The restrictions are on uploading such models or posting screenshots of them without the necessary permission.

None the less, I apologize if I am asking for something outside of anyone's league.

It converted for me, although I had to move several objects (bogies and handrails and headlights) to be in the correct position.

I just followed the directions outlined in this post. You said that you have been successful in converting other models, so you know the steps to take. If you haven't been successful, note that you have to have MSTS installed on your computer for this to work.

Yes I converted a wagon and a locomotive, but the BB-36-7 is not to convert in the SHAPE CONVERTER. I use 3ds MAX9 to edit the locomotives, but as this does not translate is hopeless.
Can you explain me how do I open this machine in the 3D canvas?
Thanks in advance

Hi
Just discovered this little program and so am trying it out.
Had success with simple wagons & coaches but locos seem to throw up an error.............

Opening file 'Tr2_Merseysider.s' in 'C:\Temp'... done!
Parsing shape file...Error! Error code: 17/10/15/1/0/0
Deleting shape structure... done!
Deleting mesh structure... done!


Any ideas as to what the problem might be??
