My first attempt at modding TSW. I managed to get it to work. This patch changes the bad, proprietary "PP" token on the MU cable connection groups to the standard "MU" token, permitting the MU cables to connect to non-Caltrain locomotives and rolling stock. The cab car also works too.
This mod replaces the RVM and RVD files for the Gallery Cars, so it may be incompatible with any other mods which also replace those files.
Thanks to SpaceyKat on Discord for assisting me in advising me what files I needed to edit and how to pack.
Developed and tested in TSW5, may work with previous TSW releases but not guaranteed.
Installation Instructions
Simply cut and paste the "SM7676-GalleryCarFix.pak" file into your TSW DLC folder, usually found in "Train Sim World 5\WindowsNoEditor\TS2Prototype\Content\DLC"

this is amazing kat, do you think you can do the same, having the alp46 to work with the mbta rotem bi levels or other things as well?
This mod wasn't made by me, but to answer your question, the MU cable used by electric locomotives is very different to those used on diesel rolling stock. It's not possible to convert the ALP to the diesel standard MU cable (a hacky fix could be made by I will not be making it any time soon if ever).

What about the NJ Transit Multilevel Cabcar for ACS-64 and other diesels?
Bit rude.
I don't think that would be possible. According to DTG when I made the thread bringing up the issues of US cab car compatibility, although the same jumpers are used they completely changed the signals iirc. Way beyond my skill level. These gallery cars simply just needed to have the identifiers changed from PP to MU in order to work because under the hood it was still standard AAR 27 wire MU comms.
How was that "bit rude" ugh no it really wasn't!
