I have downloaded and installed the CSX MOW set. Looks great!
One question - looking at the files, I see .s and .sd files for a "crane flat" but no .wag file. Did something get left out? I have other Crane Sets, so I can pull one over to complete the set. Will that work? (I think it will - I'll try)

Those are unused files and you can remove them. They were the old boom car, but I have made new one to resemble the Conrail boom car.

Hi,It seems that the craneflat files are left overs. When I compare CraneA.ace in the original pack with CraneA.ace in the CSX pack, the flat isn't repainted.
IMHO, the boom car has replaced the flat car of the original package.But put a craneflat.wag of an other package in the CSX pack and see what you get. Dick van den HovenCSX Mow – image 3

>But put a craneflat.wag of an other package in the CSX pack and see what you get. I did - I got the UP flat that went with Mark Toland's original crane. ('course, that's the folder I "borrowed" the .wag file from) My crane and boom car in the CSX MOW Equipment folder are UP also; no repaints?

Hi,Sounds strange to me.
The new Boomcar has his own .ace file: Boomcar.ace And this file is not in the original package.
The crane uses CraneA.ace and CraneB.ace and both contain repainted pieces of the crane. The file dates of CraneA and CraneB are 13-04-2003 and 14-04-2003.
But do you have Mark Tolands craneset installed too?
That can cause troubles as the .eng and .wag file names are the same for the crane and some cars.
Enocell is creating a fix for this.See this thread:
