HeyI've painted up Dick's SD60M into NBEc red instead of black and when I want to try it in the sim, it doesn't appear in the loco list. I've made consists already with it. Why doesn't it work???Redfox

HiThere's a possibility it's there but you're not looking for the right name for the loco. In the .eng file, look for the "Name ( "abc loco" )" line, usually near the end of the file. The name you see defined here is the name you should see in the loco list.If it's defined but still doesn't show, there may be a bracketing problem, "(" or ")", somewhere in the file.GaryG

Also, I believe you have to change the name of the .eng, .s (and its corrosponding spot in the .eng and the .sd) and the .sd file so it isnt the same as another one in your system.-Dave
