Hi, I've tried downloading this and your Big-Boy Models several times, but I never get the xml files. I have downloaded the 4-8-4 Northern and that works fine both tender and engine. Is it possible for me to get the xml files or should I just edit the info in the xml files of the 4-8-4 Northern?

I can't wait to try it out! But don't use that language or I'll have to wash your keyboard out with soap!
