I was wandering if the Open Rails have the ability to read the contents in Sub-Folders which are created in Folders within the Trainset Directory for better and clear file management. For example, Say there is a folder named XXX_Productions created in the directory of Trainset folder. And the main .eng files shape files and the .wag files are within the Sub-Folder created in this folder say, XXX_Locos or XXX_Coaches. So is it possible to make Open Rails read the contents in these sub-folders, any ideas how can this be achieved????

It can do that if it's *.inc files wich can be apendixes of eng and wag files.

Please see section 8.14 of Open Rails Manual

One solution is you do that outside of \Trainset in your own library, one section of which is as-downloaded and another is what you use in \trainset. The advantage is both sides can use the structure you want AND you can freely edit everything in the half you eventually put into the game. This editing can be done on everything. Want the folder name to include who made it? Edit the folder name. Want to consolidate all those 6 of 6 folders having a single .wag into one? Change the names of the .aces and .wags, edit the .s file texture name to the new name, move everything into one folder and give it a class name (e.g., SP XM B-50-13) that now holds all 6 cars, each uniquely identified.
