On my somewhat ancient diesel locomoitves such as EMD's 1st Generation locos, is there any way I can gt rid of the auto brake from self lapping to non-self lapping like the F7 has? Whoever has the train Artisan F7 will know what I mean. I mean it's not prototypical.

Actually, non self lapping brakes can be quite prototypical. The default brake systems in the MSTS deisels "sort of" represent the 24RL brake system. What you're describing is closer to the 6BL. Some railroads ordered one or the other, or in the case of one of my favorite prototypes (Frisco), both. Be advised that it's my understanding that you couldn't mix/match 6BL and 24RL brake systems in the same lash-up of engines. Thus, early on the Frisco replaced the 6BL's in all 132 of their GP7's with 24RL's to match up with the 24RL equipped F's. SO, if you're a rivet counting nit picker, all you engines should be equipped in matching brake systems!I agree, having a 6BL type of brake in an engine as an option is great fun to operate.You ought to be able to get there by doing one of two things:Copy the brake codes from the .eng file from the source engine, and paste them into the target engine's .eng file. That will give you the brake operation you're after, but MAY not give you the sounds. The other longer and more involved option will be to take the source engine's .eng file, copy it to the target engine. Also create a sound folder for it using the .sms file of the source engine. Then hack the copied .eng file and .sms file to correspond to the correct 3D model as well as have the same sounds synch'ed to the brakes.I just did the latter last night in order to have some custom sound files for select engines on my roster.It can be done.Andre Ming
