    Hi.

    This loco is reported as having missing coupler textures. Reason is a wrong path in 2 files, loading textures from the SW1200 D&RGW DLC. If you don't have that you'll have missing textures.

    You can fix it yourself, as DTM doesn't bother.

    Open your preferred file manager (strongly advise free 7-zip file manager) and navigate to
    <YOUR PATH>\steamapps\common\RailWorks\Assets\DTM\GE U33C SP\GE U33C SPAssets.ap\Couplings\Buckeye\Type-E\
    Copy U33Coupled.GeoPcDx and U33Uncoupled.GeoPcDx to a temporary place.

    Rename them, adding ".bin" to the filename. Now use Serz.exe to uncompile them to XML.

    Edit the XML with a text editor that preserves encoding, I recommend Notepad++

    Find these two occurences in each file and delete the path up to "textures"

    Delete the yellow marked text.

    Use Serz.exe to compile them again and remove the ".bin" extension.

    Create the folder structure RailVehicles\Couplings\Buckeye\Type-E in the folder RailWorks\Assets\DTM\GE U33C SP\

    Copy your two changed GeoPcDx files in there.

    Delete RailWorks\Assets\DTM\GE U33C SP\blueprints.pak and you're done.

    Small quiz: Who can tell which font I'm using in Notepad++?
