How To Use Centipede files?

Unread postby Mickey » Sun Feb 03, 2013 6:02 pm

Does anyone know how to use the Reppo Centipede files? I can load and play the included Scenarios in the Horshoe Route, but the engines do not show up in RW_Tools??? And when I try to make a consist inside TS2013 I only get the upper shells to place on the track??? Please help.

They show up in my installation in RW Tools... Assets... Reppo.

You got a manual with the DLC, Right? Look in the manual it explains how to put the loco into scenarios.

The Front and Rear wheels are in the Rolling stock section. They are a completely different asset. !!*ok*!!

The Centipede, like some other RSC DLC engines, requires the placement of multiple parts to make one entire engine and each part behaves like an engine. Just as RW_Tools will not swap an entire A-B-A engine configuration or an Engine-Tender combination, it will probably not swap all three parts of the Centipede at one swell foop. To swap a steam loco & tender for a single diesel engine, I swap the locomotive itself for the diesel unit and then insert the tender in the TS2013 scenario editor; this procedure is necessary because the loco carries the driver disc. I haven't tried swapping in a Centipede, but my guess would be to use RW_Tools to swap the section that carries the driver disc and then shoehorn in the other two segments of the Centipede in the Timetable Editor. Be sure to check the consistency of the overall consist before attempting to drive the result!
