    Missing Wag

    I put a new car in my consist. But I get this error.
    Warning: Ignored missing wagon C:\Open Rails Content\trains\trainset\New folder (2)\BRANwell_Schn-NACS.wag in consist C:\Open Rails Content\TRAINS\CONSISTS\asd123aqws.con
    It's annoying me
    Is there something I can do for it?

    Might want to check in your trainset folder to see if there is a folder by thge same name inside the car's folder.

        Is there a wagon named BRANwell_Schn-NACS.wag in the folder C:\Open Rails Content\trains\trainset\New folder (2) ?

            Your screenshot is too small to be of any use...How come you have folders in your TRAINSET folder named "New Folder" 1,2,and 3? Don't you follow the install instructions for the rolling stock? There shouldn't be ANY "New Folders" in the trainset folder!They should all have names related to the stock they contain...it also appears that you have folders buried within other folders....follow the instructions when installing rolling stock, whether its MSTS or Open Rails...you obviously havn't done that.
            I'm like an old SD9; It Growls, Howls & squeaks...but it will run forever!

              Why yes, study other stock and consists that do work correctly to figure out how all the files interact and what their folder placement currently is BEFORE you go hog wild adding new stock from the library here without that understanding. Open up any .con file with a text editor and see the layout of folder names and wag file names for each car. Adding library content is not plug-and-play. You need that understanding first. And please do that before you end up creating New folder (793).

              Trust us, it will be far less annoying for you in the end.

                The problem was actually pretty funny. I had the wags in a folder, that was located in the folder in the trainset, when I should've put the wags in the folder which was in the TRAINSET, so I fixed it.

                  This actually happens all the time to me.

                  It is common that rolling stock, as downloaded is located in a folder that is within the folder you get. Of course that won't work if you install the folder the rolling stock comes in (you have to download the folder that actually contains the rolling stock.

                  Most of the time I get it right when I install, but it's an easy mistake to make.
