Normhart,
At present I have an ATSF F7A in the War Chief version, both A and B that are working. But, when I opened them to see if I could do the same with them for the Bluebonnet version as you had me do with the white KCS, in the mesh file for the B it didn't have the same two files that I cut and pasted from the working B to the faulty A on the KCS ones. I don't have a B unit for the Bluebonnet version.

For the Warnings/Errors, it looks very similar to the previous ones, only one error showing for the ATSF Bluebonnet.

However, the B&O F7A and B have more errors.
For the F7A, 3 errors:

I think you've narrowed it down to the same culprits in almost every case. Nice work. But, without a matching B unit, won't the fix be more difficult than it was for the KCS engines? That time we had a working B unit to play with.
As an aside, I've got 6 faulty WP F7A's that have only the <kuid:438995:1223> Nathan M5 Chime Airhorn as a Modified/Faulty dependency. If that were replaced, then I think all 6 of those units would work, as there are no errors listed. I just can't figure out how to replace that airhorn.

I apologize for being such a burden. Thank-you again for all your efforts on my behalf.
