What is happening?

Open Rails log might shed some light on the problem.

Hi Dad,
When a loco is shown with # as the first character in its name, it often indicates that it is an AI loco (ie non-drivable). Make sure the loco with that name in the BLLW E8 SET2 folder has a cabview. If not, that is why it doesn't appear in the list of consists.

Cheers,
Ged

Here is my log:
OpenRailsLog.zip

[Dad]

It is clearly in my Trainset folder too. Also how do I post a screenshot that is big?

Read Post #3. Your engines are not drivable hence not displayed.

EngineData ( "#PRR_E8a_5839" "BLLW E8 SET2" ) The # before PRR.

What do you mean by Open Rails is not Displaying The Consist in the menu or in the Sim when you run it?

What is the file name of the file you posted in post #1?

[crstagg]

Here is one VERY big problem:
Argument = C:\Users\Makedonia\Documents\My Games\MSTS\ROUTES\MONON-2\PATHS\Chicago-Louisville.pat
Argument = C:\Users\Makedonia\Documents\My Games\MSTS\TRAINS\CONSISTS\PRR E8a 5839.con

Looks like you have MSTS installed in the USERS folder. WIN 7 & 8 treat the USERS folders the same as the PROGRAM FILES folders and any editing done to the files may end up in other folders when saved.

Recommend that you install MSTS according to the procedure on Steam-4-Me.
see https://www.trainsim.com/vbts/showth...-or-64-bits-OS

First of all, unlike MSTS Open Rails will allow the user to load and run a consist that has no cab. I do it all the time. Now to the OPs problem.

Open rails will not display the consist because there is something preventing the load of the eng file. The engine will be shown as missing at the top of the engine selection list.

Error: Player's locomotive C:\Users\Makedonia\Documents\My Games\MSTS\trains\trainset\PRR E8 A\#PRR_E8a_5839.eng cannot be loaded in C:\Users\Makedonia\Documents\My Games\MSTS\TRAINS\CONSISTS\PRR E8a 5839.con

Warning: Ignored missing wagon C:\Users\Makedonia\Documents\My Games\MSTS\trains\trainset\PRR E8 A\#PRR_E8a_5839.eng in consist C:\Users\Makedonia\Documents\My Games\MSTS\TRAINS\CONSISTS\PRR E8a 5839.con

Now, if this were an activity the consist would probably load and run, but the lead engine would be missing.

Okay, I used the "drive able" E8 and it now works! Thanks!
