RF&P Problem with autotrain south

[fluteman70]

The problem is that I cannot get the Amtrak engines to couple with the Superliners. I have checked and the couplers are both are automatic on the engine and the superliner??????????????

Also the loose consists are calling for a lot of 3dts material. If it will work, I am going to substitue my own rolling stork instead. I can't see it would make any difference. Once done, do I have to change service, paths or traffic.

Looking forward to your comments.
Regards,
Fred

Fred,
If you use Route Riter to replace with your stock, no changes should be necessary in the services, paths, or traffic folders. Your new editions will use the existing activities info.

Sounds like a Bounding Box issue.
What you need to do is look at the Bounding Boxes on the equipment in the Sim.

Press Ctrl + NumPad+ key will show you the BB's while running the Sim..

What I do is then go into the wag files for the equipment and manually adjust the BB's.
