Just use "View Config" in CM and copy the enginespec Kuid into the EngineKinds.txt.
More than likely the loco isn't in the EngineKinds.txt.

Just use "View Config" in CM and copy the enginespec Kuid into the EngineKinds.txt.
Yep, you can do that ... or another option ... is to select all of the engines listed in the Open for Edit Tab ... Copy to Clipboard ... paste into the EngineKinds.txt file ... remove everything before the kuid (Engine Name, a comma, etc.), add the RD Engine Type [STEAM or MODERN] ... save it.
There are a number of options ... We need to get the author of PEV Tools to write a utility to do it automatically for us!
Actually, I've sent a tech support request to P.I. Engineering ... It feels like there's a bug in something of their's that should be doing all of this for us (and it does look like it's trying [with the messages in the trainzhid.log file] ... maybe we're just missing a registry setting or something that points to where CM puts the config.txt ... I figure they should know)... don't know if it will help any ... but I figure it's worth a try. I feel like we've already done the evaluation of the problem AND figured out a manual resolution (work-around) ... and even tested it with other options ... maybe they can automate it for us (or fix a bug that's causing the automation to fail). I'm going to try to stay on this (maybe even call them in a couple days if I don't hear anything).
Heck, if they gave me the source code I could probably fix it!
That would be PEV that you want to contact, as he is the one responsible for the PEVSoft tools.
I called them 2 days ago and emailed their tech support person a link to this thread. Hopefully that will help too.
Probably best. Depending on what is needed, I may also be able to help as I'm also a utility creator (but probably not as well known for utilities as PEV is).
Just a quick warning!!!
If you add items to the end of the "EngineKinds.txt" file, be careful not to add any empty space/lines. I did, and this resulted in the well-known "We are very sorry .......etc .... and send a message to Microsoft" error.
I ran a Extended Database Repair, no change, then I removed all the space at the end of the file and Hey-Presto everything is working again!
This was in Trainz 2010, but may apply to other versions aswell.
