    Subway fans: a holiday treat...

    I'll just leave this here, shall I? ;) http://www.1chan.net/rail/src/1228837409798.jpg Can't help but wonder what the "Nostalgia Train" actually is and how "Nostalgic" it really is... Cheers! :wave:

    Looking for coach keys...

    Hi, all, As some of you may know, my father and I spend a lot of time volunteering at the local railroad museum. A lot of the cars there have cabinets that we need to access, but are coach key locks instead of conventional key locks. I was fortunate enough to obtain my own coach key, but it's...

    Fraps' effect on framerates

    Hi, all... As some of you may or may not know for almost a year I have dabbled in creating Trainz videos, using Fraps to film the actual shots. I recently moved up to the full version of Fraps, and it initially worked fine (as can be attested to by my most recent upload, "Orange Blossom...

    Avatar Size

    Hi everyone, When going through the process of making my avatar, I ran into one major problem, namely reducing the file size. I ended up spending more than two hours trying to track down ways to hack it down from 6kb to 3 kb and ended up having to ask a friend to do it for me. To me, this...

    Nature Screenshots! (BIG and NUMEROUS pictures!)

    The focus here isn't the trains, but rather the scenery. Show off your forests, beaches, deserts, and everything in between! :D Oh, and feel free to post images as big as your heart's content. ;) From my WIP DEM of the Birmimgham Metro Area, I decided to try to emulate the real-time weather...

    Across the Years

    Post any any pics that you have depicting the same location over time! :D I'll start: The same location over a period of 60-some-odd years... 1943: An ACL E7 A-B-A set leads a train of Sherman Tanks towards Birmingham to be shipped to Europe. Note the 0-4-0 switcher on the turntable...

    Railroaders in your family??

    Hey everyone, I was just wondering how many of us have railroaders in our families. My great- and great-great-grandfathers (on my mom's side) both worked for the Norfolk & Western Ry in West Va. My great-grandfather was somewhat of a legendary mechanic, and if there was ever a problem in...

    The Mysterious Missing Builtin KUID

    This is something that has been nagging me for a while, so here goes: When I downloaded hfmurphy's collection of 40 and 50-foot L&N boxcars from the DLS (<kuid:44928:101438>, for example), I found that I was missing one KUID from each in the whole lot: <kuid:-3:101164>. Now, I know that the...
