Did you not get a pdf file with the download? Usually the better 3rd party lot have their own dedicated installer which self finds the steam folder, installs the files, deletes the .bak's and lets you know its done.

That is usually called for instance RWAssetSetup.exe, if its a rar or rwp package then you can use 7-zip to either copy the assets folder into your railworks directory or you can use the "Utilities" program manager in the railworks root folder called Utilities.exe and use that to install a railworks package (rwp).

Nope just the .RWP file

Usually DT files come with a .rwp file and also an extracted file (able to be installed manually) in an "ASSETS" folder. If you copy the ASSETS folder to the \RAILWORKS directory and follow the prompts it will copy the required files into the \Railworks\Assets folder. Just say yes to everything. installing rwp files is covered by DD using utilities.exe. Personally I use the manual method as on occasion the rwp doesn't alwasy work. Remember to clear the ingame cache after installing these items.

I too use the manual method using 7-zip as the package manager takes about 10 minutes to refresh, tis verra slow

I have just bought a wagon pack from DT. I got a rwp. file from a dropbox.

If you use 7-zip and set the target folder to unpack to:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\RailWorks

It will merge automatically any content or asset folders and only ask if it needs to overwrite a file which will only usually happen when doing things like reskins or updating an existing route for example.

The above is the example railworks root folder, you may have installed to another folder but as long as you get it right it will take hardly any time at all.

As its a new item, I don't think you need to delete a blueprint.pak but you can do that in game by hitting on settings and clearing cache, I don't restart from within game when it prompts me but click no and quit game from main menu but again that was because an ingame restart for some reason killed all your ticks and career info :(
