Some of my locos in my trainset aren't showing up in the OR's selection window

[highdesertdave]

Just notice that I have about four different sets that I bought from Ed's trains that don't show up in OR's loco window two of the sets don't show in the loco window at all two out of six from another show and six out of twelve from another set show up.

They all show up in shape viewer and RR showed them all in trainset folder with no issues.

Anyone know whats coming on here.

Hi Dave,
No loco can be run unless it is included in a consist (the same would apply under MSTS). Use ConBuilder, Route_Riter, Convoi or YardMaster to create consists - even just containing the loco is sufficient.

Cheers,
Ged

Does this rule apply to Cars too?

[crstagg]

Cars (Wagons) will not appear in the Sim UNLESS they are a part of a Player Consist, a Traffic (AI) consist or a loose consist. ALL of these consists MUST be created BEFORE running the Sim. Also you cannot select a Car (Wagon) in the Sim selection menu, so if you want to see a particular Car (Wagon) in the Sim you need to know what consist contains that Car (Wagon).

Well they do have to show up in a consist editor before they can be added to a consist so it's not that. Make sure they were unpacked correctly and there is no folder by the same name inside the one in the Trainset folder. For long engines sometimes you only see a blue line on the bottom of the consist window when you're making up a train in MSTS, might be something like that maybe.
