Hi,
You'll see from the download page, and the readme, that you need to supply the Cabviews, Sounds and .eng files to be able to use Danny's Shape and Texture files.

There are a number of complete locos, based on Danny's files, which have been uploaded by other members; these may provide the 'parts' you require!

Cheers,
Ged

What's the folder path you used?

Did you generate the .eng files?

[Railfanphil]

its in the trainset folder and it shows up in shape viewer

Doesn't matter if it shows up in Shape Viewer, if it doesn't have an ENG or WAG file, it won't be recognized in any of the consist editors.

where do i get those files

[Railfanphil]

ok i took an eng file from a loco that uses dannys files and it shows up in tsre5 but is when im using it on a train the locomotive seems to be invisible.

Hi,
What does the Open Rails log show?
I suggest it may be invisible because you haven't inserted the correct shape file name in the 'WagonShape' entry in the .eng file.

Cheers,
Ged

The files Danny generously shared are far from plug-and-play. There was an assumption at the time that most of the community knew how to find the additional files needed and make the necessary edits in wag and eng files.

If you use the search function available on the forums, you're going to find a whole lot of helpful information from that time frame. Questions are fine, but there is information there that answers a lot of those questions if you're willing to look for it.
