loco motive?

[bmjank]

is there any way to take the motive out so that you can pull deadline power or set power in the yards with out it running

I'm not afraid to ask, what is 'pull deadline power'?

I think it refers to a long line of locomotives not in service.

Yes, you can clean out the engine specifics in the config file and set it up as a piece of rolling stock.

I would like to place locomotives on my route but have them turned off, with no driver. But with the option of placing a driver in them at a later date when I need to use it.

For that; just place the locomotive, open the driver selection and take the driver out of the locomotive.
I leave the driver in and don't give any orders until I'm ready to use the engine. Then I can open the list of engineers in Driver mode and select the engine I want to go to directly without hunting for it.

Maybe 2009 will have a feature like this when those fine trainzers get done tinkering with it! Maybe, in 2009, you will be able to follow the driver into the yard office and get a cup of coffee with him!

But could you be nice enough to tell me where and how?
Thanks

I used TRS2006 CMP to clone ATSF C44-9W,<kuid2:113556:2915:1> then opened it for Edit in Explorer. Changed it to a piece of rolling stock by editing the config.txt file as follows:
1. Change the Category-Class to XB
2. Change the enginespec to kuid:-1:42004201
3. Change engine 1 to engine 0
4. Deleted the enginesound and enginehorn lines
5. Deleted the script and class lines
6. Edit the kuid-table to agree with the items deleted.
Save and commit.
