Problem with GN Train #5 scenario, can't load rail vehicle

[Stigah]

Hello!

I want to play the GN Train #5 scenario, and I've installed all the required downloads in the manual. When running the scenario (Part 1) I get this error message:

Reefer 40ft Steel NP 1c
Reefer 40ft Steel NP 1c
Reefer 40ft Steel NP 1c
Reefer 40ft Steel NP 1c
Broken Consists - Modified -

The only reefer cars mentioned in the manual is these: Northern Pacific Icebox Reefers Pack (freeware) which can be found here: http://golden-age-rails.com/packslegacy ... ight1.html

Here's the full list mentioned in the manual:

I've downloaded and installed all files two times now, but I'm still missing the reefer cars. Where can I find them? Or have I done something wrong under the installation?

And I do own the Train Simulator: US Loco & Asset Pack

Hi,

Please try this link: http://golden-age-rails.com/packslegacy/npreefer.html
Those ought to be the reefers the pop-up complains about. Please let me know if installing these doesn't fix the issue.

Cheers

Tried to play part 3 now, got a new error message:
Consist Builder - Can't load rail vehicle - Boxcar 40ft-PS1 GN 1a
Broken Consists - Modified -

I've downloaded all boxcars mentioned in the manual, twice now.

I assume it's this one: http://www.golden-age-rails.com/packsle ... w-ps1.html, but I'm probably wrong. Do you know which one I'm missing?

I think it's the GN pack on this page: http://www.golden-age-rails.com/packsrw/box40ps1.html
The MILW pack is an older version from what Michael has told me in the past, and the PRR base pack has superseded it.

Thanks, but I've downloaded everything from that site as well All 5 files, without any luck.

Hi,

"Boxcar 40ft-PS1 GN 1a" should indeed be included in the GN boxcars pack (download link on bottom left corner of this page:
http://www.golden-age-rails.com/packsrw/box40ps1.html )

I'd recommend checking the scenario for missing equipment with RW Tools. Feel free to send me a copy of the generated list via email.

The Milwaukee boxcars are by the way a seperate download (and also required by this scenario IIRC). They are an older version as Railfan722 mentioned, but won't get overwritten by other/later versions of my 40 ft boxcars.

Tried downloading the link at the bottom left corner for the third time now, still not working I'm afraid

I downloaded RW Tools, but I have no idea how to use it.

Ah sorry, I meant to say the link on the "bottom *right*" corner.
This file: http://www.golden-age-rails.com/freerw/ ... N-Pack.zip
And this one is also needed: http://www.golden-age-rails.com/freerw/ ... dFiles.zip

If that fails to resolve the problem, I'm afraid I won't be able to assist further without the equipment report from RW Tools (the RW Tools manual in its main installation directory should contain all the needed information).

I installed the Boxcar Shared Files, and it fixed the scenario! Thank you so much!
Edit: The brakes on the EMD F7 are terrible!

Haha, yeah. Try installing the .rwp's from this download. That should make the F7s more manageable.
(Mind you, it's still a non-self lapped brake valve -- operate it like you would a steam engine's brake.)
