    I just downloaded the Sanyo Shinkansen route from Sanyo Shinkansen 1/4 v.1.1 - Rail-Sim.de - Die deutsche Train Simulator Community which covers Okayama to Shin Osaka

    but the issue I am having is the locomotive can be driven and I can hear the sounds, horn etc but in external view "The screenshot says it all" where on earth is the locomotive? Didn't I install it correctly?
    I see a working locomotive in a youtube video! Train Simulator 2016 HD: Operating JR West 300 Series Sanyo Shinkansen Local (Okayama to Shin Osaka) I just don't understand what could I possibly be missing

    I just tried to download it - but it failed as you only linked to part 1
    You did not say it comes in 4 parts

    Try reinstalling it again

    I just installed it - the train is so-so. But then its 12 years old.

    You need the SEC cab and you appear to be sat in a Pendolino but the controls don't actually move
    The speedo is stuck on 0mph so you have to watch the HUD Speeds

    I only installed one of the 4 parts

    Thanks for your reply, I only linked to part 1 because the other parts 2, 3 and 4 are empty rar files? I downloaded them but when I open them up there's no files to extract? However, the file sizes are there when I right click on the rar files to view the properties.

    I also have no idea what the SEC cab is or where to get it from? The instructions aren't very clear in English

    The cab is from the Super Express Concept - which came out before the 801.

    What cab view do you have now?

    I have managed to find the SEC Pack via a google drive link. It would had been so much better if DTG would just simply re-distribute content and packs they have removed, so that I don't have to try and find them if I need them.

    So you think companies should distribute older models for free?

    Ask AP and see where you get with that.

    In the case of the Super Express It was distributed for free originally, so....
