MCLW Derby Lightweight Green DMBS (UKTS_18510_MCLW_Derby_LWGreen.zip + UKTS_18781_MCLW_Derby_LW_FIX.zip) cause a fatal error message in both OR 1.2 and OR X3907. The engines run fine in MSTS. I've checked the engine files for missing parens using ConTEXT, but all seems well to me. OR log file is attached.

If you require further information my email address is dlrichtm at gmail.com.

Regards,

David

Hello,

I found what the problem was concerning the MCLW DMU's: the Effects sub-section of the Engine section of the file, while having all correct opening and closing parentheses, somehow caused a problem for OR. Since there was no information in this section anyway, I tried deleting the entire section and ... BINGO ... the engine file loaded with no problem. Case dismissed.

Before I sign off on this bug report, I just want to thank all you guys and the fabulous work you do on keeping my multi-$1,000 investment in MSTS going. The best part is not only has my 1 TB worth of files not become obsolete, but the OR engine just keeps getting better and better. So, a tip 'o my hat to you all.

David
