Trainz 2006 Not Allowing Downloaded Items

Hi. I've tried downloading certain engines like this http://www.protrainz.com/download.htm and I download it and use the content manager to commit the item to go into Trainz 2006 so I can use the engine or cars in Trainz 2006. But after commiting, it does not appear in the railyard or surveyor or not anywhere in Trainz 2006. Is there something I'm missing that it does not appear?
 
Paul, the page seems to be mostly 2006 content, as there is a note about making the items work in 2004.

bns, did you miss the part about removing an unneeded KUID (KUID 52779:53000) from the config file?

If an asset shows in the CM without errors, but it does not show in surveyor ... most probably the asset, or one of the assets dependencies needs editing in the config files, to change the trainzbuild line tag numeral to be your trainzbuid (mine is version 2.6 ... yours may be 2.5).

If an asset has a trainzbuild line tag of below 2.5, it needs not to be edited ... only higher trainzbuild assets than 2.5 or 2.6 need backdating.

Some assets created in 09, 10, 12 will show up when backdated, but many errors need complex fixing ... but some rare mesh's created in 09, 10, 12 may never show up in TRS2006.

This is called backdating.

Even when committed, and backdated, the game still see's the trainzbuild as higher than 2.6 (or 2.5) ... and the assets.bku file (in the cache folder), and then after that is deleted, the assets.tdx (in the TRS2006 folder), both need to be deleted, and sent to recycle bin ... then start the CM and let it rebuild the TAD (undisturbed) for @ 20min to 30min.

If you get on Free Skype I can help you in Real Time, and help you fix things instantly.

If a loco has 15 assets, any one, or all of them might contain higher trainz-build, and all the dependencies of the asset might have errors, which need fixing.
