How to add trains to a route that did not come with any.

[DimPoint]

The Coal to new castle did not come with any trains. Now is there any train folder such that I can use the consist editor. The only folders in it are Global and Route. I do have the train files, as well as the stuff to add on to the trains. How do I add a train and consist to a route in this scenario?

you add your consist to your consist folder and the same for trains to your trainset folder hope this helps. Jdark34

In explore mode, you can use any consist you've created or have from other routes.

Assuming you downloaded the route from the C2N website ( https://www.coalstonewcastle.com.au ) there are several activities and rolling stock there as well you can download. There are a few in our library as well.

From your question I am assuming that you have not read the ORTS Manual particularly Sections 4.1 through 4.5. Locomotive and wagon downloads usually contain folders which should be copied to the TrainSet folder. Some ZIP files do not have the rolling stock in folders. The convention then is to create a sub-folder in TrainSet with the same name as the ZIP file and place the contents in that folder. Also some downloads have installers which when executed ask for the location of the root folder of your Trainsim install. See section 4.1. Don't use the default that the installer offers.

If you buy the installer for MSTS it will default to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Train Simulator for where to install MSTS. Do NOT use that - change to something like C:\MSTS as Program Files has been a protected folder since Win 7. So it is best to not put MSTS in any of the protected folders: Users, Program Files, Program files (86) or Desktop.
