I tried installing this, I copy and rename the necessary .s file and click on the .s file to view it and all I see is a blank loco shape. What did I do wrong? Am I missing something?

In order to get it to work, you must do the following.

ADDENDUM

After renaming the .s files to the name of each engine. You are not done just yet. Next you must open Shape File Manager (SFM), if you do not have it installed on your system, you must do so now. You can obtain it from Trainsim.com. Install it by following the instructions from the enclosed Readme.txt. Now open SFM, navigate to the SLI.HUDDY directory, it will bring up 3 .s files, BicentShield.s, SF_SD45_2_5700.s, & SF_SD45_2_5703.s, with text next to each one, which should say Compressed. Now pass the mouse over the options button next to the .s file SF_SD45_2_5700.s. You will see two options, the top one being Uncompress, click on it and wait a few moments, for the text next to the .s file to read Uncompressed. Now pass the mouse over the options button again, there are more options, click on the second from the bottom that reads Wordpad Edit .S, this will open up the .s file SF_SD45_2_5700.s in Wordpad. From the overhead Edit menu choose Find, in the box type in .ace, click Find Next, this will take you to the filename entry 5683a.ace;

image ( 5683a.ace )
image ( 5683b.ace )
image ( SD40_INT.ace )
image ( SD40_GLASS.ace ) DO NOT CHANGE THE FORMAT YOU SEE, JUST THE DATA AS DIRECTED!!!
Highlight it to paste over it to overwrite it and change this to read exactly as shown below, SF_SD45_2_5700a.ace. Next go down to the next line underneath this one that reads 5683b.ace, change this (overwrite it) to read exactly as shown here, SF_SD45_2_5700b.ace. It should look like the above format wise with the following; images ( 4
image ( SF_SD45_2_5700a.ace )
image ( SF_SD45_2_5700b.ace )
image ( SD40_INT.ace )
image ( SD40_GLASS.ace ) Save the file by either clicking on the Save icon or File > Save, then exit Wordpad and move your mouse over the options button, select the first option Compress. Your not done yet, you have to repeat the above as follows. Now pass the mouse over the options button next to the .s file SF_SD45_2_5703.s. You will see two options, the top one being Uncompress, click on it and wait a few moments, for the text next to the .s file to read Uncompressed. Now pass the mouse over the options button again, there are more options, click on the second from the bottom that reads Wordpad Edit .S, this will open up the .s file SF_SD45_2_5703.s in Wordpad.

Joe, thanks for the Addendum. I have added your comments, in full (including your sig) to the Readme.txt file in the archive and uploaded it back to the server, so that anyone downloading this file from this date forward will have the full information needed to get this to work.

Thanks again.

Bill, I don't have a problem with you adding it!!! But, having said that, I must suggest that you copy and paste the data to a word document file, even Rich Text Format, this way all highlights will show. Hopefully, to prevent confusion!!!

I think what has been added is clear enough.

Here is the updated Readme.txt file for anyone who has the original zip file and had problems installing it

Bill, When clicking on the readme.txt file, I got this;

Sorry, an error occurred. If you are unsure on how to use a feature, or don't know why you got this error message, try looking through the help files for more information.
The error returned was:

Sorry, but you do not have permission to use this feature. If you are not logged in, you may do so using the form below if available.

There is no reason if the downloader wants to they can copy and paste the initial post I made.
