Metro Simulator Wiki wrote: In explore mode you need to place your train before you can use it. For placing a train you go to the left side with your mouse. Click on the train icon. Now you see a screen with all the trains available in this beta version. Select the train of your choice and the amount of the trains by pressing the add button. After that select the station were you want to place your train. When done press OK and the train was loaded on the selected station.
The beta does not yet check if the track is free, be careful not to place 2 trains at the same start point.

No but when it comes to adding train. we have the option of london and glasgow in which it comes up with just the 73 stock. meanwhile u have the option of london w d78 and s7/8. i dont have that london box on it own despite me downloading the files so i am asking how to download it properly for the trains to appear.

Did you do this? Do you have the "London.000" file right next to the "Simulator.exe" file in the same folder?

In the image of the S8 on the wiki, there appear to be three destination displays: the train number (shift+*), the destination (*) and also a third display. How do I change the last one? crtl-* doesn't work

It uses a separate texture file, which is not in the current (3.14) folder structure. I'll include it in the next release of the routes (which will happen as 3.15 releases, but when that is.... Michiel hasn't informed us yet). ;)
The train searches for it in the route texture folder, and if it can't find it (which is the case), the screen just stays black.

In London, it would primarily be the name of the line. So "District line" for example, or "Metropolitan line". In Rijndam, I do not have such names. So for destinations that are not the end of the line (like Noorderpoort, or the Central Station) I set "Short Service", and otherwise the line number, like "Line M4". ;)
