NO! None of this stuff belongs in the default cabview area. You need the base cab comcab or comcabdk in the TRAINSET/common cabs/EMD or EMDDK. Then the specific cab for the engine you are working for goes into that engines cabview folder. This is not a particularly simple installation which is why the readme is lengthy and describes several options available. I suspect you probably dont have the common cab folder downloaded and installed properly. Once everything is in place look at the cabview line in the .eng file and follow the path specified there - probably to the engines cabview folder. The .cve file at that location sould point to the common cab folder and to the correct basic cabview folder located inside. If you aren't familiar with the inner workings of .eng and .cve files you will be by the time you get this working. By the way it is well worth the effort and there are cabs available for just about every color scheme around. Back up any files that you are going to change so you can get back if you screw up somthing - you probably will. Have fun. By the way this question belongs one forum down in the "MSTS" area.Be Seeing you.
