Either:- Open the Finder Tool (press  Ctrl   F ) and type, in the Name field, the name of the loco, in this case SAR T 250 (or just T 250 should be enough). Click the tick icon, OR Open the Driver List (bottom left of the screen) and then scroll through the list to find either:- the loco name (SAR T 250) OR the driver icon (named Driver 250) - this is a non-animated icon then click the drivers Eye icon to take control of the loco Take a few moments to get your bearings.
