    Tried to download a new loco from the Train-Sim site. Just get error messages when I try. How EXACTLY do you download a loco? Do you have to copy to disk? (tried it, disk too small). Or do you "open file from current location"? (get a "path" error). How does it eventually become part of the game (how do you access it)?

    Yes, you copy to disk. It is a Zipped file as all of them are. What I do is download it, make a new folder for it and extract it to that folder. With most of the downloads, there is a read me file in them with the instructions. A word of warning!! Make backups of your engine files.
