    What is TSE&T ?? Do you mean MSTS Editors & Tools?
    Consists wouldn't appear - where? If you mean in the sim, then (a) did you select a Player loco and (b) did you save the consist you made?

      There are a number of consist editors.

      My favorite is Goku's new one available here: http://koniec.org/tsre5/

      ConBuilder (payware) has a big following and offers many tests and diagnostics.

      Yardmaster (available in the file library here) takes an alternate approach. I used it extensively until Goku's editor came out, which has a search function that is pretty good without having to maintain the database that is part of yardmaster.

      RouteRiter has a free consist editor that is quirky but not bad. But nowhere as slick as Goku's.

      Microsoft Train Simulator Tools & Editors can make consists, but I wouldn't bother with that. The other options are much better and more reliable.

      Lastly, there is the manual approach, using a text editor. If you open up the consist files, it's not hard to figure out how they are made and do your own. Personally I find it much simpler to use an editor - both because it's easier for me to find the right car and because I they will make a file with a *lot* less errors han when I do i manually. But there are some folks who think in a manual text file sort of way.
