Installation:
1. If you haven't already done so, unzip this archive to a convenient place. The Zip contains this readme file, two JPG image files, and a single folder having the same name as the Zip except with the extension RWP.
2. Find the program Utilities.exe. Utilities.exe can usually be found under C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\RailWorks. Double-click on Utilities.exe to launch it.
3. In Utilities.exe, click on the tab labeled Package Manager, then click on the Install button. That will open a dialog named Load Package which is a typical Windows open-file dialog. Navigate to the RWP file that you unZipped in Step 1, select it and click the Open button.

Files should now be properly installed on your system.

To use your locomotive in a scenario, enter the scenario editor. In the left-center flyout menu, click on the Object Set Filter (small blue cube with orange arrow). In the upper-right flyout menu find G-TraX in the upper drop-down menu, then click on the two rightmost check boxes to the right of ALCoRS-1. In the left-center flyout menu click the Engines & Tenders icon. Your locomotive should be listed there as ALCo RS-1 MILW (R) and ALCo RS-1 MILW (R-ND), where R stands for repainted* and ND means no driver.

Select your engine by clicking on ALCo RS-1 MILW in the menu. When you drag your mouse off the menu and onto the scene a 3D image of the engine will appear. Place the engine where you want it on the tracks, then click again to set it in place. To reverse its direction, double-click on the engine, then click on the big orange arrow that appears above it.

To make your engine driveable, open the upper-left flyout menu, then drag and drop the Driver icon (man with hat) onto your engine.

Exit the scenario editor by clicking the Drive arrow at the lower right. In the simulator scene, click on your engine and you will be ready to take the controls.

You should also be able to find your Milwaukee Road RS-1 in the Quick Drive menu.

*Historical Note: The Milwaukee Road owned five RS-1s. Two, numbered 1676 and 1677, were built in 1943 and were originally painted orange with light gray upper parts and a maroon stripe separating the two main colors. This original paint scheme was replicated by MadMike1024 and is also available in the RWA file library. The original the two engines were later repainted to the more common orange and black scheme, matching the additional three units which were built in 1950 and which were numbered 961 through 963. All units were subsequently renumbered to the 870 series represented here.
