I have done it in the past but having probelms this time around. Trying to add fwd light to ben dorsey locomotive <kuid2:210518:9070:3> but cant get it to show up.

used the pev attachment tool to make a new point called a.light0.im where the frount head light would be at. cant get it to show up in trainz 12 or 19. am i missing something? Thanks.

added this to the config file mesh

light0
{
mesh "rail_motor_4/a.light0.im"
auto-create 1
}
}
 
weird thing if i used the light attach mesh from another loco, same spelling it shows up, but i the place where it would be on other locomotive. weird thing.
 
Create mesh light.im with attachment point a.light0 on it and edit config accordingly...
 
did some more messing around, with another locomotive, that worked before. I deleted the old light mesh, attacment etc. And made new one and have same problem it does not work ie light up. is something differnt in game then before for locomotives lights?

here is pic of old one working notice it has button for lights
