The folder this model is in is named "Wrx LHR 482 Mountain". I know it's over at TS.com and IIRC in our library here as well.

The top image is from shapeviewer and the lower image is from Goku's con editor.

I've no idea where that red comes from. It is in the tender too. I think the con editor program has it wrong.

Dave,
What did you open with Shape Viewer? The Wrx LHR 482 Mountain.ENG file or the Wrx LHR 482 Mountain.S file? Appears you opened the shape file thus not loading the FA shape.

Dave !
Mine is exactly like yours and I have made no alterations at all to the original download file . Looks fine in Shape Viewer and all 3 engines are having the same problem in the Consist Builder .

The .s file. Never heard of shape viewer opening an .eng file.

The model does not have a FA shape and the image w/ the red stripes appears in both the con and .eng views of Goku's con editor. I've not modified the download in any way and have no idea why the red is showing up. It's not really a problem for building a consist, it's just odd that it looks that way. IMO it suggests something about this .s file is unanticipated in the con editor code somewhere. Ditto for the tender.

I can't find this loco.

To open an ENG or WAG with SFV locate the file with Win Explorer and use "Open With" and choose ShapeView. That opens BOTH the shape file and the FA if there is one.

"The model does not have a FA shape" ??? BS look at your two pictures. First has no crew. Second from Goku's CE has crew. Ok look at ENG file:
Wagon ( 482mountain10
Type ( Engine )
WagonShape ( 482Mountain10.S )
Size ( 3.32m 4.79m 18.1m )
......................Snip..............

Sound ( "Mik-h-eng.sms" )
FreightAnim ( crew.s 1 1 )

You probably overlooked the FA because it is not in the correct sequence of parameters.

And BTW opening the ENG file with SFV I only see the crew added NOT the red lines.

One of the features we added to ConBuilder besides the tool to open the shape in SFV there are buttons to use to open the Shape and the FA in SFV. Goku's implementation is to default to both the Shape and the FA. Not sure what will happen with SFV when modelers begin implementing multiple FAs for ORTS. Anyone know if Paul Guasden is still involved in the hobby?

Yes, I missed that. It's rather uncommon to find it far away from where the .s file is specified.

As for Shapeviewer, yes, it is correct. I said it was correct in the basenote. It's Goku's program that is finding something odd and showing it as a red band. Probably something odd in the .s file because it's also in the tender.

For myself, I'm not bothered by it. I'm only trying to pass on my observation to Goku of this file's odd appearance.

I think it's the " shadow.ace . I blacked out the alpha and it's alright in Consist Editor now but one could just darken some aces . You wouldn't get quite the same effect though .

If he isn't, I would be happy to maintain Shape Viewer if he would be willing.

So I have discovered an interesting issue with the Consist Editor. So I have put Gokus Editors in a new folder along with getting rid of MSTS Completely and putting the routes, Trains, and Other things that are necessary for Open Rails to work without MSTS. My issue I am having now though is the Consist Editor is not wanting to save. I can make a consist and go to save it but it wont save and wont be there in Open Rails, my consist folder and wont show up in the Editor after I reopen it. Here is a shot of what it looks like when I go to save any consist. Any way I can fix this issue without having to install MSTS again?

It is known "issue". 100% you have your directories in Program Files.
1. Move them outside Program Files.
or
2. Run TSRE as administrator. It won't work for .bat files, you need to create shortcuts instead.

Thank You Goku that did the trick!
