GP20 child objects

[wlenz781]

I am looking for a mod creator that can help me with a project. I want to learn to add child objects to a locomotive. I am working on creating a repaint of the Reppo GP20 for my Fort Smith to Heavener route redesign. It is the Fort Smith Railroad GP20. These locomotives however have ditch lights in real life. I want to learn to add the ditch lights and tie them to the headlight controls so that there are activated as I turn on the headlights at each end of the loco.

Adding child object to a locomotive whose source file is not with you can be a tough job.

Thank you for the tutorial. Should make for some interesting information. I suspect it will take me a long time to learn to do it.
