RE: bad car file...interferes with game

The easiest short term option, is to copy and paste another wagon file outside of trainsim. Rename it to what is missing,and copy and paste it back in the trainset folder. That way, you have the file that train sim is looking for.David

RE: bad car file...interferes with game

Hi Bob,If I interpret your message correctly, you are getting the error message because the Trains\trainset\spusg<1>spbulk.usg.wag file can't be found by the sim on loading. Apparently there is an activity or a consist file that uses it. To fix the problem you need to install that trainset or remove the activity and its associated service and consist files.There are a number of excellent utilities that can help you find the activity or consist file that uses it. ConBuilder, Route Riter, Activity Analysis, Route Control, Train Store, etc.RegardsEric
