Assembling a locomotive (or other asset) out of multiple "sub" assets

So I recently downloaded a Beyer-Garrett, which came as a series components; drivers, boiler, etc. How do I get those components into a single, functioning loco, and along those lines, how do I incorporate an engine or whistle sound file or similar into a given asset?

Thanks!
 
Try putting the three assets together on the track as three railcars. You may need to rotate the rear coal bunker.

I think this is where things fell apart; I assumed that I would just put them together and they would "magically" attach themselves, but that didn't work. On reflection, I suspect that some things may have needed rotating.

Thank-you!
 
Save it as a consist after you have it together and you won't have to repeat the process in the future. Same is true for steam locos and tenders.
