did you by the add-on for the 158/159s because without that it wont work,i did this once and downloaded the 158/159s and then read the small-print and it said 158/159 add-on needed to download if this is the problem,go on amazon it is very very cheap and thats where i get mine,if this aint the prob ill try to work it out,hope this helped,but remeber you need the add-on,without this it wont work,but if this aint the prob get your money back,buy the disk version,and that should solve prob,its probaly just a glitch just go online and see how to prevent it,once again,hope this helped,

i'm having the same problem! 
Okay, so as I understand it you can't find the 158 in 'free roam' mode. Well, the reason for that is that the free roam scenarios came with the route, so in general only default stock appears by, er, default.
I'll go through this step-by-step, and I apologise now if the instructions below seem patronising or you've done them already!
Step one is to check that you have the upgrades Mk1 and Mk2 installed. You can get these by going to www.railsimulator.com and registering - you'll then find these on the front page of the site.
Step two: do you have the 'dev tools' installed? Again these are available on the RS website and although it sounds as though the tools are only for geeks and content creators, in practice they are needed to do quite basic editing such as changing scenarios (or adding a 158!).
Step three: open your desired 'free roam' and at the bottom of the screen, on the 'fly up' window, click on the globe at the right end:
Hey presto! You're in the 'World Editor'.
Now, take your mouse to the top left of the screen and another 'fly out' will appear. See that little train icon, top right of the fly-out? Click on that.
Woah, that message looks a bit scary! Don't worry, just click on 'yes'.
Now we've unlocked all the fly-outs to put more stock on the track, create new services, all that. First, take cursor to centre-left and it's another fly-out:
This the REALLY important bit. Can you see at left a little blue cube with an orange traiangle on it? Click on it, and at top right you get yet another fly-out. Go through the list, and make sure you find and select Ben Laws (who created the 158 ) as an add-on supplier. I'm doing this from memory, so I'm not sure but I think his supplier moniker is 'SD9L' or something similar. Only now will the 158 appear in the list of available stock.
Okay, now start to look at the stock just to the right of the big blue cube. It's split into engines, stock and consists so first let's click on engines and that brings up a list of the power available. Click on a loco (this is the green Deltic downloaded from Rail Simulator's website) and magically a train appears that you drag to the track where you want it to sit:
Click on it, let it go, and it's there.
Okay, so we have now placed a train on the track. But so far it's static - you can't drive it. How do you make a train driveable? Er, add a driver... Back to that top-left fly-out, this time click on the face.
Now click on the loco and hey presto, you have a driver icon above the cab.
You don't have to do the next stage, but so that you have a proper name for your service when you press F6, just double-click on that icon above the loco and yet another fly-out appears:
Type a service name, and press enter.
Okay. now go down to the bottom right corner of the screen to the triangle that looks like a VCR 'play' button:
Yes please, if we say 'no' we lose ALL our changes and we're back to square one.
The thing reloads...
...and there it is, we now have two steamers and one diesel to choose from.
That's it - away you go!
As I said above, I hope that's clear without teaching granny to suck eggs

Well, I don't get that icon - it's greyed out!! I have installed mk1 & mk2 updates and the Devtools. I have added the train via Package manager and no option to add it! What's happening, any help?

Mike

One question, have you clicked the little padlock at the bottom right of the screen (near the arrow) to 'unlock' the route? Because if you dont, its impossible for you to make any changes to the scenario. I think its locked on by default.
Yep, this was a problem I had and it was all to do with the padlock and content filter. The manual for Railworks made literally no mention of it at all, a **** poor effort from the team, figuring it's the easiest way to stop people 'breaking' routes.

Hi guys,
I recently bought the class 57 and BR standard 4MT packs, but when I go to play the activities, it loads as normal but will not let me drive using the keyboard, only through the mouse/touchpad.
Does anyone know how I can fix this problem?
Cheers
Mike
