    Hello, can someone please tell me how to delete a train? I know that this can be done faster via Steam, but I'm not sure whether all folders of a trains are really deleted. So I want to find out how to do it from Explorer. Thank you very much!

    What are you trying to delete and Why?

    If it is something that you purchased thru Steam then you can just remove the Route/Train by going in to your Steam Client and Unticking the DLC - from that point you can use Windows Explorer to Delete those items
    If later you decide you want them back you just reselect them and Steam reinstalls a fresh copy. But if you Delete a Steam acquired Route or Train without removing it via the Steam Client then the next Steam Verify will reinstall them.

    Everything you own in the Game is kept in your C:\Steam\steamapps\common\railworks folder
    In that you have an Assets folder which keeps all the items you see in the game - trains, tracks, buildings, scenery etc
    And a Content folder which has all your Routes and Scenarios

    If you have purchased a train from a third party then when you remove it yu have lost it.
    Unless you have access to the installation files

    It's the Class 365 from Armstrong Powerhouse. It is not visible on the rail, except for the couplings. I installed everything what needs. It's just like the Class 90. I can see the locomotive and the DVT, but not the cars.

    Class 90 - Have you installed the extra downloads for the Mk3 Coaches (cars)?
    Recommended Requirements
    We have also created matching Mk3 coach reskins (One Dark Blue, One Light Blue, Red/Black & Silver) for this pack which are essential for the 'Quick Drive' consists to work correctly. These reskins can be obtained by downloading the following two items:
    Mk3s Extra Stock
    DTG West Coast Main Line North

    https://www.armstrongpowerhouse.com/rolling_stock/locomotive2/class_90-mk3_dvt_pack

    The AP Class 365 is just a repaint of existing stock plus features - for it to work you also need
    Essential Requirements
    DTG ECML London to Peterborough
    DTG Southeastern Class 465
    https://www.armstrongpowerhouse.com/enhancements/multiple_unit/class_365_enhancement_pack

    If you wish to remove the Class 90 go in to \railworks\Assets\AP_Waggonz and Delete the Class90Pack
    That would save you 558Mb but it hardly seems worth it

    Removing the AP Class 365 - go in to \railworks\Assets\AP and you should see the Class365Pack01 - delete that.
    Again it does not save you much space
