Alco dl 109

[AMTK822401]

Hello all,

I was just wondering if there were any DL 109 models compatible with Open Rails. I tried installing a few but none are accessible even after following the directions.

Basic MSTS rule 1 of many:
You have to make a consist with the unit for it to be available to run.
Read the manual that came with the sim (F1). Don't any of you new folks read the manual?
All the DL-109's should run fine in Open Rails..(After you make a consist)

Assuming the DL 109 was installed in a subfolder of the TRAINSET folder and assuming that a Consist file was created in the CONSIST folder. An engine will not be displayed in the OR pull down list of selectable engines if any of these conditions exist:
- Either the engine filename or the folder name misspelt in the EngineData line.
- There are spaces in the engine filename or folder name and they are not set off with quotes in the EngineData line..

Regarding the cabview or lack thereof, provided the engine is in a consist it will load and be drivable, but if you try and enter the cab an error of no cabview available will be issued. I have loaded and tested the CNW5007A ( a DL109 )with a renamed cabview folder and a commented cabview line. It shows up on the pulldown list and is selectable and drivable, from view 2.
