deleting an "invisible" engine in editor

I tried to place an engine in a scenario using the editor. Something was wrong with the engine because only the couplers showed up. I am not concerned as much about the issue of the engine not showing as I am in trying to delete the couplers. I can not make them go away. It appears that I can not select them to delete. Does anyone know how to get rid of the "invisible engine?"

Why not try and fix the engine? I take it this is a repaint? Do you own the original engine? Did you already copy all the GeoPcDx files as in the readme file instructions? If I can do it, anybody can. *!!wink!!*

To answer the original question, tho, I don't know how to delete that engine.

I believe this can be done in RW_Tools. I've had the same thing happen and IIRC I opened the scenario in RW_Tools, checked for loose consists that didn't make sense, then delete the one(s) I didn't want.
If you don't have RW_Tools, it's THE BEST investment you can make in your TS2014 arsenal of tools! (No, Mike doesn't pay me to say that... !*roll-laugh*! )
Hope this helps!
Best, !*cheers*!

Thanks. Problem solved in RW_Tools. I'm too dumb to fix the engine. I just wanted to get rid of it.

Never "too dumb"! Just lack of experience. Time conquers all... **!!bang!!**
Glad it worked. !!*ok*!!
