I have a question regarding copying files from one loco data set to make a new loco data set. My problem is when you first set up a file you have to indicate which decoder and model you are using. I want to copy this file over but I will be using a different model decoder, and for Tsunami, it simply means different sounds, all other aspects of CV's will be the same.  I wanted this to be the starting point, but it appears I have to start all over and to get the same entries, print out the original file as a reference.
