I recently downloaded some automata for HSR. The SMP Amtrak Acela (http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=17724) one.
I hadn't changed the monorail skin for years, so the previous skin was in the program files/SimCity4/plugins/ directory. I removed that and put the new one in there.
Loaded up the game and saw this:

Those aren't the carriages I was expecting...
I figured I must have another skin installed somewhere, so I moved it into my documents/SimCity4/plugins/zzz/ and, sure enough, it then showed properly:

I then decided to track down that other skin, so I removed the new one completely, but when loading up the game it returned to the default Maxis monorail. I then opened up the SMP Amtrak Acela dat file in the reader, but those carriages are not in there. Where did they come from? Does anyone recognise them?
