Having a problem trying to load this engine into RW.
No idea what is wrong but the engine will no longer load in any route.
Never had any problems before so I don't know what to try to solve the problem.
Would anyone have any suggestions on what to do or who to contact for advice?
My Alco RS-11 DLC works fine. I'm going to try and find my files for the download of the Lehigh Valley engine hopefully I have it somewhere *!embar*!

Thanks,
Bob !!jabber!!

Always contact the modeler or provider first. If your car stops running, do you ask a forum to fix it?

Thanks for the advice.
I thought that was what a forum is for, to get ideas on how to solve a problem!
Sorry to bother everyone.
Bob !*salute*!

Don't mind OldProf, he's a grumpy old man.
He's also wrong, in this case. Your problem is probably not related to this particular DLC, because it works for other people.

Back at you! Why not make sure all is well with the DLC first and then start looking for computer-related glitches?

In my opinion, 71 is not old and grumpy lies in your opinion, not my attitude. I like teasing people, handing out a dope slap or two now and then, and expressing personal opinions based on years of experience with this sim. If that's grumpy, you might give yourself an attitude check. And if some admin wants to chew me out for getting personal, he'd do well to slap Chacal first.

I was speaking mostly tongue-in-cheek.
Several of us, myself included, are grumpy old men.
Your answer sounded especially grumpy even by your standards, and the reaction from the OP shows the effect this has on posters.

My personal opinion is that the forum is the first source of help in such matters, because the DLC builder usually answers "It works for me, the problem must be on your end". Especially if the builder is DTG.
Searching on the forum usually reveals that other people have the same problem with other DLCs, and often provides a fix.
Of course, searching should precede asking.
