Greetings, all.
I have recently purchased TRS2009, and am running into a few difficulties. I had Trainz previously, but it was the original version; you know, the one before they started tacking the year of release onto the name.
Needless to say, the new version is quite different.
I've figured out many of the differences, and am well on my way to building my own route, but I do have some difficulties with some custom content. I downloaded a number of additional engines, and while some of them work without a hitch, a few of them show up with their names in red when I look through the trains list in Surveyor mode. The logical assumption seems to be that something is wrong with those assets, as most of them don't work and can't be placed, and red is most often used as a warning color. What throws me off, though, is that SOME of them DO work. Example: A steam loco I downloaded doesn't work, but it's tender does, even though both of them have red names.
Is there a way to find out what exactly is wrong with these items, and how to fix them? A list of dependencies or something else I'm missing? I haven't yet been able to make heads or tails of the content manager, and have not yet been able to find anything resembling a helpfile for it. The "manual" linked from the launcher is next to useless for someone like me who has been away from the community for so long, since it doesn't seem to go into much detail on... well... anything.
I have tried using the search function, but have run across nothing promising thus far, so I obviously either don't know how to use it or don't know what terms I should be searching for.
Please help, and please forgive me for being such a newbie after all these years.

But what is and where will I find the TRS2006CCG?
