Ok first nice to see you managed to register. Second we have had the tender mod since the day the game was released. Lastly if my memory serves me right you only need to download one of out user made maps to get the tenders, they are now standard for any maps. you know those B-units in my videos? Well those are tenders for as far as the game knows.

The B-Unit is technically a loco but we use the Tender Mod to be able to have dual locos. Basically we put Tender entries in the Global RRT_TrainCars.xml file referencing loco models. Then we put new loco entries in the RRT_Trains.xml file that have a Tender reference to the desired loco-tender in the RRT_TrainCars.xml. So once you have all available locos listed as Tenders you can make new loco entries that create all sorts of combinations of dual loco trains.

Have you tried Train Table Mode with Use All Trains ? You understand any new loco will not show up in a map unless you do the aforementioned or add it to the RRT_Trains_<scenarioname>.xml file right?
