Certain locomotives not showing

The files that any commercial provider does NOT want you to post, ever, are the .s Shape files, and texture files. Over they years people have asked permission for providers to renumber their textures and have received it, but they can upload the textures to the library but not the shapes. They always clearly state they are posted with permission and you need to buy the original engine from the provider for they to be of any use.

I've made some modifications to these files...if you are missing a description section ( or quotes ) that could give you problems. Wagon section Type should be Engine ---and--- Engine section Type should be Diesel.

IF you would post a complete file people would be able to help you troubleshoot your problem.

Thanks for all the help guys, it's greatly appreciated! I ended up just reinstalling the two locomotive sets in question and everything with those sets works as it should.

Maybe something had gotten corrupted when I moved all my files over to my new computer which I'm thinking might be the case because my ScaleRail routes are FUBAR (LaSalle and Piedmont).
