Not all my assets for MSTS will work in V128 of Open Rails. The problem is related to small errors(?) in the ENG or WAG files.
Changing existing files is likely to cause more problems than it cures. As I found out the hard way, there needs to be an OR specific version of some MSTS assets.
I prefer to make these changes, because it will involve some file name changes and I need to keep control to prevent further problems from cropping up.
What I know won't work in V128:
Possibly any MSTS tender with ((BM)) using an ENG instead of a WAG. (The problem is not the ((BM)).)
The two short bogie cabooses.
It might take me some time to sort out an OR version of these assets.
If you do make changes yourself....be aware that it may cause other problems (I know this for a fact) you'll regret. Do not redistribute any models if you change them.

PS I will probably test and make changes to the C16 variants & tenders, and the two cabooses.

Bazza,
I think we've narrowed down the tender as ENG vs WAG to having zero values for the physics, which causes OR to choke. You may want to experiment with inserting a small, trivial value instead of zero.

I posted down in your OR K37 thread a couple of days ago. The Bazzamotion tender as an eng file does not work. I stripped out the complete engine section, changed the type to Tender and renamed the file as a wag. Now OR accepts it and it follows along behind the #454 complete with distinctive waddle and sway.

Yes, that's what I did, too. Nice the ((BM)) still works but it runs too fast at the moment.
The K35 #501 has a new tender WAG and was included in the released version here.
Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated.
