Changing Locomotives

[cassidyj]

In a downloaded route (Kickstarter Pass), I removed the locomotive that was originally in the session, and downloaded and placed a different locomotive into the train. But I'm not able to make the new locomotive do anything. None of the controls are present. How do I assume control of the new locomotive? And as a related question....if I place more than one locomotive in a route/session I'm creating, how do I determine which of the locomotives will move when I operate the controls? Thank you!

Is there a driver assigned to the locomotive without controls?

You need to click on the locomotive you want to drive manually and to assign commands to, otherwise, it'll sit there idle.

There doesn't seem to be a driver assigned to the new locomotive.

There doesn't seem to be a driver assigned to the new locomotive.

You can do that by clicking on the driver center. It's available under the windows icon at the top bar in the session editor, or by clicking on one of the drivers shown in the left corner while in Driver.

If you are in Driver, click on the driver image and you'll see the assigned drivers as mentioned above.
Click on the + at the bottom to add a driver.
Scroll the list until you find your newly added driver.
Click on the move-to-train icon.

A plus cursor appears...

Click on the locomotive you want to move your driver to.

Once added, click on the locomotive and you'll see his/her image and the controls will appear.

I'm going by memory since I'm not at my Trainzing computer. I apologize if my steps are a bit vague.

Thank you! I will give it a try.
