Kind of a general question...

What are the changes needed in the config file to turn a functional locomotive or piece of rolling stock into a static scenery object?

Hi,

If im right in thinking, all you need to do is clone it, open the config (CCP is easyer) and change where is says "RS Steam" for example, you change it to "BR...". then commit it and there you go.

It's a bit trickier than that.

If it's an engine, you will need to change engine 1 to engine 0.

You may also need to remove any script references, along with the enginespec reference (and possibly the enginesound and hornsound entries as well)

Also, you need to change the 'kind' tag to scenery.

Just a thought, could you clone a building and change the mesh file and the name????

I've changed locos to scenery but the problem is you lose the bogies. It is easier to lay a short section of invisible track where you want the loco then place it. If you want to make it inanimate you could edit the config.txt file to change the engine tag to 0.
