I repainted Tappi's TGV and NALW's fuel car but the TGV won't show up in the consist editor and the fuel car gives me a error message about the .s file. I've tried everything I can think of but it still gives me the same thing. I also have a question. How do you make Alpha channels? I know you're supposed to black out windows but how do you get it to show up in the .ACE file and work? Another quick question. Where do you guys get RR logos or designs like UP wings? EMD Guy

In case you're wondering. The error message is:failed to open .s file Trains\Trainset\Conrail Tank\Contank.s.
Thanks, EMD Guy

Sounds like maybe you're forgetting to rename the .s file and/or forgetting to change the entries in the .sd and .wag files to match what you may have named the .s file. Edit: Your, you're, eyore, it's all the same to me. . .

You were right, the names were messed up, but when I try to open it in the editor it still gives me an error message, "failed to open shape file".
What's going on!
Thanks,
EMD Guy

I checked in the wag. and sd. files and they said the s. file was
Contank when it was Conrail TankUnit.
