Question About TS2014 Addon Locos

[NewEnglandCentral]

Hello Railworkers I have a question about TS2014 Addon Locomotives. When I install one (For example, the GATX pack on Obos website) it does not come up in the quick drive/ Select locomotive screen. When I want to drive, I have to put a train that is on the Select Locomotive screen. How can i make it so I don't have to do this? thanks

I don't think you can

Go into Quick Drive and where you choose the train to drive go to the top and choose custom, edit, then then build your train with the engine and rail cars you would like to use then save it and name it. When you want to drive that train the next time you go into custom the train will be there.

I know how to do that. However, some trains don't show up after saving on the quick drive screen.

Are you able to use serz.exe to convert bin files to xml and back? Can you use notepad to edit an xml file? If yes to both questions, you can edit the quick drive file so that those trains will show up. Rule #1: Back up before messing with bin files.

The last part shows how to edit the loco name. In the tutorial it is suggested to keep the number of loco icons in quick drive to a minimum, but in your case you will likely find it looks like this:

<LocoName>
<Localisation-cUserLocalisedString>
<English d:type="cDeltaString"></English>

With no loco name in between the brackets it won't show up in quick drive, so just enter a loco name like this:

<LocoName>
<Localisation-cUserLocalisedString>
<English d:type="cDeltaString">Black 5 4-6-0</English>

and voila, it will show up. AND remember Rule #1, BACKUP before you mess with a bin file.
