First try pressing shift /
This is a shortcut to releasing handbrakes.
Make sure all the other brakes are released.

check the open rails manual about steam engines. They are a bit more complicated.

Chris: thanks again for all the help. I will definite check for steam in the Manual.

Are there any tutorial files? I recall the original MSTS allowed you to run a train with helpful step-by-step actions. I have tried to check the files but am not finding anything...can anyone suggest where to look?

Re: the LIRR.
I’ve tried to contact the owner but no answer.
I have finished installing the files, and I'm on Step #9: Select an Activity. I located 'Detour' and could not open it. The message said I needed the right program to open an .ACT file.
Can anyone help?

If you have done step 8 correctly, the LIRR route should be visible in your OR route selection. Step 9 is done from there.

LIRR Problem

Thanks to baldwin.
I did not do step 8 correctly, but now I have a folder with all the requisite files. Where do I enter the folder into my profile?

Profile???? I don't have an OR profile. Where did you get/create a profile?

@Charles
An OR profile is equivalent to an MSTS installation Main or Mini.

Open OR and click on Options. Look for the Content tab and click it. You can then browse to the folder that you made and add it, just the main folder, not the route folder. You should then see the route in the main OR window where you can select an activity to run.
