    Good Evening, I'm creating a route of my own basically for fun in Train Simulator Classic, I'm looking for these buildings from Ohio Steel 2, is there a way to identify the names?
    Thank you.

    You already have some information - In your picture the pop out is the asset information
    its in a Scenery/Buildings folder with the numbers being part of it's name
    You can hold your mouse over the start of the line then use the right key to cover the text -
    Control+C will copy it and then you can past it in to notepad or a word doc
    The route is made by G-Trax so start there
    Look for a Ohio Steel 2 folder and in that Scenery/Buildings

    Thank you, No luck with finding those specific buildings, I'll play around with it and keep searching.
    Been playing Train Simulator for years, guess i over looked the buildings lol, could be my 45 year old eyes.

    These are Allaboard assets. I'm not at my PC atm, but I'll tell you on Saturday.

    As promised, here's the data. You have to modify the blueprints to use these assets, as Rich Garber (Allaboard), the creator of the route, has clearly stated he does not permit using his assets, and tried to obscure them.

    The building you're looking for is:

    Filename: RailWorks\Assets\Allaboard\Massillon\Scenery\buildings\1_200_249BhBE2llVo4C.bin
    DisplayName: NP_Steel_Open Hearth Main

    These assets must be activated in the Object Set filter > Allaboard\Massillon

    However, it is not visible in the object list - you have to edit the .bin. To make the building appear, you need to change its "Category" value from "eExcludeFromBrowserList" to "eCommercialIndustrialBuildings" - so it appears under the factory icon.

    The scourge of any games modding community, I fully understand not for "commercial" use or profit but that's not what this is, this is to try and stop the end user using it within his game on his PC and then maybe sharing that work for free adding to the continued enrichment of the game (with these assets linked to not copied and redistributed of course) speaks volumes of the elitist BS that plagues modding communities.

    Sorry, rant over.

    Use 7zip File Manager to access the OhioSteel2Assets.ap (zero-compression zip archive) like any folder.

    Copy the asset's .bin to a temporary location, make your changes.
    Create the folders Scenery\buildings in RailWorks\Assets\Allaboard\Massillon.
    Put the modded file there. This is TS modding basics. :)

    It will load the contents of the .ap file first, everything else that lies outside in a replicated folder structure corresponding to the one found in the .ap will be loaded with higher priority on top of the .ap contents.
