Hello all, A few weeks ago there were a number of issues regarding the Trainz Pro Routes site, including at least one report of a virus there. Has anyone information that this has been resolved or if there is progress in that direction? Bernie

Hello all, I've decided to patch my version of TS2010 up from build 3.3 with the relevant service pack. Is Trainz the type of program that a restore point will restore if some accident occurs during the patching process? I also will be making a complete backup of the data and program before...

Hello all, I have been alerted by a friend that my Yahoo email account may have been hijacked. An email containing nothing but a hyperlink has been sent using my email and Trainz identity, which is bl4882. A list of persons to whom this was sent has been provided to me and it appears that the...

Hello all. I've installed Ben Neal's new single sheath boxcars into TS2010 build 3.3 and attempted to take them for a test drive. There are no missing or faulty dependencies. When I did so I found that I was struck by the dreaded Thread Exception red button and stack dump. My TS2010...

Hello all, I'm building a small route in TS2010 and after an extended database repair and weeding out the usual bogus faulty notifications found several of the sessions connected with the route indicating the following error. "Error: The kuid '<kuid:343758:100151>' specified in 'map-kuid' is...

Thought I'd alert fans of monstrously huge steam that Classic Trains's photo of the day (June 10) is a picture of this loco on a curve here http://ctr.trains.com/ Impressive! Bernie

I discovered this morning that my computer has been invaded by some form of malware or adware. (This message is being posted with a completely separate and independent machine owned by a friend of mine.) This malware is using my machine to send links out. These are not generated by me. If...

In an idle wander I found this today http://www.railway-technical.com/st-vs-de.shtml I think Mr. Krug needs no introduction. There is also a lot to the site. Bernie

Forget it, doesn't want to cooperate. Go to http://ctr.trains.com/ . It's worth the trip. Bernie

Hello all, I just did an extended database repair on TS2010. After correcting for the known glitch showing phantom errors I get the following error message for Lilb's new boxcars, some of them reskinned by Firestorm, and some not. They all worked fine before the database repair. "Error...

I have a problem with turnout frog-and-guard-rail track object sets that are available on the DLS. They look fine, and one set is downright excellent, but placing them is a nightmare. If they don't land in exactly on the right spot moving them is difficult and frustrating, and they have a...

Hello all, "New" is in quotes because it's been around a while but I just found it a few days ago. It is the Southern Pacific Modelers Society and can be found here http://www.southernpacificmodelerssociety.org/index.php The people are friendly to V scalers like us and I received a very warm...

I currently have a video card with 1 GB ram. As part of a few general upgrades to my machine (power supply, hard drive, video card, fans) I was thinking of upgrading (it's 3 years old). My question is, is more RAM better? and when do you reach the point of diminishing returns? BTW, TS2010 and...

You learn something every day. I had no idea that the Pennsylvania RR had an imported French locomotive of Atlantic wheel arrangement:eek:. There's a good picture of it on the Classic Trains Web site here http://ctr.trains.com/en/Online%20Extras/Photo%20of%20the%20Day.aspx Bernie

Hello all, Most model railroaders are familiar with switch kits, which are turnouts that are pre-manufactured and ready to spike down onto ties on your railroad where you need a number 8 left or a number 6 right. Well, there is a prototype for that, as in this puzzle switch for Bayshore yard...

Hello all, This is not a problem but just a small question, but it is bugging me. I have been fiddling with max frame rates in the options file and find that setting it at about 30 in driver allows the program - TRS2010 - to run as smooth as glass, better, in fact, than the default 200 rate...

Hello all, Just thought I would draw attention to this pic at Classic Trains of a B&O coal train headed by an enormous Yellowstone locomotive. Find it here http://ctr.trains.com/ Suitable for wallpaper, but not up for long. Act fast. Bernie

I just downloaded some gorgeous boxcars from RRMods. The description is as follows. "Equipped with Auto Running Numbers, Skin Changer with three different skins, animated couplers,animated hoses, and animated doors. Has custom coupler sounds and brake squeal." I have been unable to find...

Just wanted to share Classic Trains' photo of the day. This is what I call steam. Beautiful NKP Berkshire. http://ctr.trains.com/ Should be up all weekend, but don't waste time. Grab it for wallpaper. :D Bernie PS: Sodden thought, I wonder what the EPA would have to say if this took place...
