Here, you can post your post-processed screenshots! If you're using T:ANE's features, image manipulation software, or a shader pack (ENB Series, ReShade, MasterEffects), your screenshots are welcome here! Before-and-after comparisons are also welcome. :) I personally, use MasterEffects which...

I thought I would start a thread here where people can share and discuss interesting items of railway memorabilia that they have bought (or acquired through legitimate means). Things such as destination boards, number plates, and even bits of carriages or locomotives. If I may start things off...

Hi everyone, Recently my HP Pavillion dv6 notebook suffered an internal hard drive failure and you can probably guess the result :p Well, I've had a SSD for a while and regularly backup irreplaceable files as well as run most software and games on it. Since I've been doing that, this hard...

Hi there, I'm having an issue with stations on some routes I've downloaded. Mostly ones by Angelah but others as well. (Not Angela's fault though I'm sure. :)) Some of the trackwork and platform ends are missing. I think AJS Station Kit parts are being used here. Here's a picture. (Click on...

Hello, I thought it might be a good thing to post here the video I took on the day of N3V's Special Event at the Workshops Rail Museum in Ipswich, Queensland, Australia. Actually, I just wanted more views. :hehe: The video starts with a steam locomotive, which is why I put it here in...

Hello! Today (tomorrow for Yanks), November 5th, is Raymond Loewy's 120th brithday. To celebrate, Google has also put this picture on its homepage: Now let's throw him a party. ;) Kieran.

I've started building a fictional branch line. I'm not sure when it's set, but it's going to be set in England since that's which country's trains I prefer and know the most about. I've done some basic trackwork now but I currently only have a shot of the landscape from the minimap. Maybe...

Hello! You may know that my birthday was last week. I received a Hornby Flying Scotsman train set from my Dad. I already had a well-thought-out layout with the track already set up in the garage. But my track was really dirty. So I spent 3 hours cleaning it until it reflected light. The set...

Hi everyone, Lately I have been helping newcomers to this wonderful simulator via Private Messaging here on the Forums and on YouTube as well as Skype, where video calls are possible. Something I've noticed is that those people, who are good people and i won't be naming them, always ask me if...

Hi everyone, Recently my Dad purchased me a Hornby Flying Scotsman train set. This has the loco, tender, 3 coaches, an oval of track, a siding with buffer and a controller. I've noticed that the return crank on the locomotive (No.4472 herself) is incorrectly placed ahead of the rest of the...

Hi, I'm wondering which of the three is more correct for model railways, prototype railways and Trainz, and, which term do you personally prefer and use? A book I have on model railways (1001 Model Railway Questions & Answers by Cyril Freezer) says: "Q278: Why is turnout often used instead of...

Hi everyone. :) I've seen the following method detailed in other threads, but I'm not sure many know about it, so I started a thread devoted to it. Most of us know that the search box here has its flaws, like not displaying 2011 posts/threads. And so we use Google, but get results that aren't...

I have recently uploaded my 100th YouTube video. Enjoy. :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVJ6QXO0jK4 Kieran (Cappy)

Hi everyone. I'm an Australian, and I love and use British trains, which means that I am used to the British railway practises. I have one question that an American railroad lover might be able to answer. You see, I'm starting to use some 1880's American steam locomotives. The locos I'm using...

Hi everyone, While looking for loco diagrams (PM me if you want one found - i might be able to locate one) I came across this site, all about experimental and unusual locomotives. It covers most of the world, and even has some diagrams and interior shots of experimental and one-off locos. I...
