While it is not 100% accurate it is representing SP #2472 locomotive and tender, which is located on the Niles Canyon Railroad.

IMPORTANT:
==========

You must have the most recent Brikits Steam Packs updates installed (February 2015) in their default location and working.

Dick is now delivering these as .ap files so you must uncompress these into the appropriate folder under BritKits\Steam\RailVehicles\USRA_4-6-2-L.

You should have the following folders inside the USRA_4-6-2-L folder:

Audio
Buckeye
Crew
Default
InputMappers
Lights
Particles

To Install:
===========

I used Railworks Utilities packager for packaging this set. All shape (GEO) files have been removed.  I have supplied an InstallMe.bat file to quickly copy the appropriate shape (GEO) files to the newly install SP_2472 folder.

NOTE:  The batch file will only work if you have the required Britkits Steam pack installed and uncompressed in its default location.

Unzip the downloaded .rar file to a temporary location.  This will create a folder called SP_Light_Pacific_Number_2472, and within this folder is an .rwp file, which contains this SP_2472 files plus this readme file and a picture file and a thumbnail picture file.

Install the .rwp file using the Railworks Utilities.exe (located in the Railworks root directory). Or if you are like me, unzip to temp location and then copy and paste to the assets folder.

Now go to Railworks folder, open Assets folder, then Britkits folder, then the Steam folder, then the RailVehicles and lastly the USRA_4-6-2-L folder (Typical Default Path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Railworks\Assets\Britkits\Steam\RailVehicles\USRA_4-6-2-L).

You now should see ther default folders (see above) and the SP_2472 folder.

Then click on and run InstallMe.bat file. This will copy over all the required shape (.GEO) files from the default folder to all the SP_2472 folder. Hit enter to continue. When complete it will delete itself from the directory.

That's it for the installation!

To use this newly installed locomotive make sure that Britkits\Steam is checked in the fly out box or they will not show up.  It will have a of SP in the engine drop down listing.

That's it.....enjoy, Gerry
