Hi, I am the inventor of the Amtrak Express, avalaible in the file library (it's a great loco!). Only one problem, when you create a consist for it, it will appear in the locomotive select window multiple times. If anybody knows what to do please let me know. I will put out a version 2 when I fix it and the person who gives me the best solution may just get credit in the readme file.

Hi,I see the following in your .eng file:First line:
Wagon ( Acela and then much lower:
Engine ( amtrakexpress
Wagon ( Acela )
You have different names for Wagon and Engine. This can cause the trouble. Better practice is to keep the Engine and Wagon to the same name. Give both the name amtrakexpressDick van den Hoven
