With a new patch for T:ANE coming up, I thought I'd prepare my system by installing a new SSD. The Samsung 850 series has been getting much good press, so I went with one. The 250 GB model from Amazon for just under 80 USD seemed like a steal. So, I got it and put in the machine. Now, all 8...

I fixed all 10 of my JR locomotives for T:ANE.:D If I can do it, even a caveman can.:p

Having taken a vacation from the world of Trainz, I figured I'd check out how things have developed. Download in progress. I don't know if I'll install this version. It might be better to just wait till the 15th. But anywho, I'm excited about having a new version of Trainz.

A way long time ago I started building a route (TS12). But anywho, between SP1 and being burnt out on making the route I decided a diversion would be in order. For the last year I been playing almost exclusively iRacing.com with a dash of Euro Truck Simulator 2 thrown in. Managed to put...

So, I have the in cab signalling working. And I have the next station display working. Just one problem. I get this terrible tone and it won't go away. I figure it's something like AWS so I try alt + space, which doesn't clear it. Help...:confused: The locomotive I'm using is Amtrak P42DC 48...

Just a few pics of my WIP route.

If your like me and run Trainz on an SSD, I found something which makes it easy to keep a backup onto a hard drive. I use SyncToy, freely downloaded from Microsoft http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=15155. It synchronizes 2 folders. Easy to set up and use, plenty of...

So after filling out the survey I got the coupon. Now, what to get. I got a bunch of SD40s already but you can never have too many of them. How you guys like the leasers? I'm getting kind of partial to some of them. Just kinda lost on what to get.

Well, I ordered a second SSD from Amazon to complete my system. The rig will have 4 hard drives and 2 SSDs. Boot: 120 GB Corsair Series GT. Trainz: 256GB OCZ Vertex 4 Series. Should have enough room for TS12 and the next version. Gotta think to the future. Games: 2ea WD Caviar Black 1TB (RAID1...

I already have a 120 gig Corsair series GT SSD. Originally I was booting from a RAID 0 hard drive array and using the SSD only for Trainz. Then I decided to see what running Windows 7 from the SSD looked like. Booting from the SSD totally rocks but now running Trainz from the array is a sad...

At $5.20 USD I could not pass it up. It downloaded fine, just had to change the file name to add ".exe", it then installed fine after pointing it to the TS12 folder. Took it for a spin on the Clinchfield route. Eatin' some food riding in the Diner car watching the scenery go by is an...

I am very sorry to all I have offended. I am sorry for bad mouthing jointed rail. I was totally out of line. I know it is not an excuse but the last few months (even years) have taken a great toll on me. If I may relate a story: As a retired Air Force person, my pension is not subject to NC...

I've played Trainz on my 42" LCD and it looked great at 1920*1080 but it wasn't a practical setup for anything but playing games and watching movies. I prefer a traditional desktop setup for building my route and other more serious computer stuff. My desktop monitor was an old school 4:3 aspect...

An A & SLT multiplayer session is now running. Come join. Be warned, I will require sleep.

From the route by msgsapper: The area I visited today The next 2 are from the crossing near the center. Looking toward Mount Olive. Looking the other direction A video taken of the area: Msgsapper did a great job on the area.
