    | Issue | Solution | | :--- | :--- | | "Object file not found" Error | This usually means a texture or 3D object is missing. Re-download the route and ensure all folders are extracted correctly. | | No Sound | Check if the train folder contains a sound folder.

HK Trams usually rely on modern OpenBVE features. | | Train is stuck / No power | Ensure the Reverser is set to "Forward" (usually key F) and the Master Controller is on. |
