Oh lordy, how hard it is to find something one needs on DLS.

I happen to be working on a danish route, and wanted some danish trains to run on it. CMP is of little or no help most times, so I just started searching (and searching, and searching) on DLS. First I found little, and started to grumble about the "lazy danes" that didn't make any trains (sorry guys). Then I asked around here in the forum, and got some great help and pointers, and ended up finding a whole host of trains from good ole Denmark, including special item cars, great! I'm still amazed at what all people can create with this, and very grateful that somebody (including the hard-working danes :hehe:) does!

The thing is, 90% of the time, there is no mention of "Denmark" or "Danish" in either title or description (when there even is a description). And one finds stuff with all kinds of names, which one doesn't know about till one actually finds it. There's a catch 22!

I imagine that people looking for specific trains for other countries might have the same problem.

So please, all of you gifted people out there that are talented enough to actually make these great trains and cars, and kind enough to share it with the rest of us, do you think you could PLEASE add the country of origin in the description, that would make life so much easier.

There is something happening in the background on the locos side that might be extended.

Have you not tried opening download page then click on locomotives window. At the bottom of the page you can select the country of origin.

I can sort on country of origin in CMP as well, problem is, the majority of assets doesn't have one. Maybe because they're from older versions?

If you click on the Locomotive Category ICON you will see all the locos on the DLS for sure BUT if you then click on the SEARCH AGAIN link you will return to the main search panel and there will be a selector for types etc. see image below! Hope this helps... Good Luck!:wave:

AHA! I'll try that. Thanks a bunch.

One question though: If the asset has a 'region tag', shouldn't it show in CMP as well???
