However I am having problems trying to get it to display the numbers. I think I have changed all the related entries in .bin/.xml file and the .dcsv.tgt and if I press F7 I just get a load of garbage appearing in RS and displays nothing on the loco. Any ideas where I'm going wrong anyone?

It seems to me you changed the .bin/.xml files correctly, assuming you used serz.exe to update the .bin file after you changed the .xml file; however, you need to change the .dcsv file itself, not the .dscv.tgt file. Try that and I hope it helps. Great work on the SP repaint, BTW!

Thanks for your help but I'm a bit confussed on what your saying there. I have changed all the entries to a new number set in the .dscv (deleting 90% of the file). I have also changed the path in the .dscv.tgt and all the entries in the .bin file which were /Black/ to /SP/ but there must be something I am doing wrong as I have had about 5 goes at editing the .bin file and got nowhere....

Thanks

I've just managed to fix the problem with a little more messing around. I had the file name with .dscv on the end seems to work now :)

glad you were able to fix it. I pulled out alot of hair with those .dcsv files when they first came out :)

SP lives in KRS.....While I dont run the sim at all. It looks like you did a nice job on the units.
