Hi everyone Just to explain my absence I'm not suffering from some dreadful disease but I re-discovered Meccano (or Erector Set in USA) and have become somewhat obsessed with that for a while. I'm sure I'll be back when all the TRS2019 hoo-hah calms down. Cheers, Mick

I have recently fallen in love with Portugal (I'm considering retiring there) and I wonder if anyone has made a route of the tramway system in Lisbon, and the splendid old streetcars that are still happily clattering along? I've done a quick search and not found anything. Thanks, Mick

Hi This is not Trainz-related at all, but maybe someone has a suggestion. Occasionally my computer completely shuts down and restarts. No damage is done, except that what was immediately in memory is lost. I wonder if anyone has an idea as to what might cause this. I'm thinking an intermittent...

Multiple Industry New Hi. Since I started with Trainz UTC about ten years ago I have never come to grips with the Multiple Industry New. What I am trying to do is this. I have a coal train with five wagons, that I would like to drive to five small coalyards, emptying one wagon at each yard...

Judging by my experience, if you have an AMD Radeon GPU, you should avoid the update like the plague. It does not work at all for me, and there is tons of discussion on the Interwebs describing it as a complete disaster. In my case, the installation process removed the AMD driver and then used...

What happened to these commands? Seems they suddenly don't exist. They were useful for guiding a train to or through a station (or other industry) without stopping. Mick

Hi. I am trying to order a 365-day FTC at the advertised discount price of $13.99 via the latest newsletter but the price in my shopping cart is $26.99.How do I get the discount? Thanks Mick

Hi. I saw a AMD X4 860K Quad Core CPU on Newegg for $49.00. (This CPU has very positive reviews.) I currently have a AMD A6-6400K and wonder if this would be a worthwhile upgrade. I'm very limited by the FM2 motherboard but don't want to do a major upgrade right now. My present CPU is an...

Hi. Here's a screenshot from my Alexandra Palace to Finsbury Park route that I hope to upload soon. This is just a test to see if it looks OK. This is a battery loco about to haul some 1938 LU stock from Highgate Depot to Drayton Park over the branch, which was only 2-rail most of the way...

Last night my spline points started rotating for some reason and I couldn't stop them for a while. While they were doing it, it was really distracting and annoying. And wasting valuable resources no doubt. What on earth is the reason for having them rotate? Am I missing something? Thanks, Mick

I hope this is the right place for this thread. How do you see New Posts in the Android Mobile View of the forum? Thanks, Mick

Newegg is offering a RX 470 with 4g of RAM for $149. This is doable for me. I read that TANE never uses more than 3g of RAM. Would this be a good choice? Thanks, Mick

Sorry this is not Trainz-related but, Why can you not put a Mac together from individual parts like you can with a PC? Thanks, Mick

Not sure where to put this thread but; I am trying to make a movie of my route. I'm wondering if anyone has done this before and can give me advice as to what settings to use to get the best quality. So far, as soon as I capture with FRAPS, the quality goes down to the point where I'm not...

I read amongst some reviews that if you install a new CPU in a Windows 10 computer, you lose the authentication of Windows 10. Surely that can't be true, it would be utterly unacceptable I would think. Can anyone confirm or deny? (If it was just a matter of re-entering your serial # I wouldn't...
