With and without a driver

Unread postby jtousign » Mon Jun 05, 2023 12:05 am

Is there a way to eliminate the driver in Dogmouse's S2 locomotives? I'd like to offer the choice of having or not having a driver in my next Canadian Pacific repaints. I really wish there was a way, I hate seeing secondary locomotives dragged along with a useless driver inside the cab. Thanks! :D

The driver is in the engine's blueprint, if I recall correctly.

Yes, the driver is usually a "child" entry in the engine blueprint.

You can edit the .bin file to remove the driver entry which appears under " Children" in the .bin file.
Or you can use the asset editor in TS Tools to list the child entries for your chosen loco and remove the one called " Driver".
Save the edited file with a new name by adding something like _ND ( No driver) to the name.

Jmls48 Thanks to you, I'm so glad to know about this trick for removing the conductor via TS Tools, so much easier than editing the .Bin file directly! !*cheers*!

Glad it helped.
We should all thank Mike Simpson for giving us TS Tools.
