For loco packs, they all come with a preset "Consist". Open any route in Surveyor, select the Trainz tab, and then select "Consists" tab. Scroll down th elist to find your item.

Select and place that on your route, select the "Vehicles" option and then use the "get train" button to find each individual piece, to see how its named.

If you can't find it that way, try using the Help:Surveyor_Filters tool then opening the Train Tab. e.g. the Duchess is found under LMS Duchess, but by using the Filters and typing in Duchess, you will find your item in the Trainz tab.

  • TIP: Use Content Manager and Date Installed to find the items most recently installed.

[edit] Uninstalling DLC items
