Friends, I am contemplating beginning two routes, both lines of the Chicago Terminal Railroad, one in Elk Grove Village, the other in Bensenville, IL. Modeled complete, and to scale, the Bensenville line will fit in about a dozen boards, 3 (E-W) x 4 (N - S), and the Elk Grove line about twice...

Friends, by chance I discovered a video that might be very helpful to those who design routes, and posted a link to the video in the "Content Creation" subforum (see <>) . It occurs to me that there may be route builders who might benefit from this video discussion who do not regularly follow...

Friends, I like Dave Snow's thread, and have contributed to it. I created this thread for other Google Streetmap railfanning images of railroad subjects which fail one or more of Dave's rules, quoted below: but which otherwise meet the spirit of Dave's intent. Freight and passenger cars...

Friends, do you suppose this is his secret? ns

Friends, Several years ago, whilst looking for something else, I cam across this image on Wikipedia and filed it away in the event I ever wanted to model it. Recently, I decided it would make a good subject for my exploration of "virtual brickmasonry" using Blender, and investigated the...

OK, I admit it, I 'm stumped. Are there help pages for using the forums, or more particularly the advanced search? If so, how do I find them? What led to the question was that I wanted to do a forum search, where I was looking for "a b" or "c d" but not "e or f". In many contexts, this search...

Friends, I'm wondering if my internet connection is working properly. Compared with the cacophony of complaints and bug reports after the releases of the hotfixes and SP in TS 12, Th number of threads I see complaining about T:ANE is miniscule. Congratulations, N3V. ns

Friends, I don't know how many of you are familiar with the Stack exchange site, but whilst rummaging away on the back shelves I came across this proposal for a stackexchange related to railways world wide. Taking some time to review it in some detail, while it's just a proposal at this point...

Fellow Trainzers: Over the past week or so, when I go to the very bottom of the "Planet Auran" page, I see that the "Helpdesk" link is in black (as contrasted with the blue in which "Privacy Policy" and "Contact us" are displayed), and clicking on the help desk link results in a page with the...

Friends, Time flies, and all that, but I'm a bit concerned that Euphod has not posted to the forums since 21 April, 2013. I'm hoping someone in the community has been in touch since. ns

Friends, Those who might find railroad photos from the midwest of interest, might want to check out my rrpicutrearchive.net page at <http://mjolnir.rrpicturearchives.net/> ns

Friends, over the years I've seen complaints more than once about the entity Auran, and I assume, N3V used to host the DLS, and certain other facilities, formerly known as The Planet, and more recently known as Softlayer. I don't know how many of you happened to notice the change in control of...

Friends, A little rail related video <http://www.cabrillo.edu/~jmccullough/Videos/SWF/tank_implosion.swf> ns

Friends, I've started a new project, in which I hope to bring the realism of the terrain to the next level, particularly in watercourses (rivers and streams) and rights of way for both rail and roads. I plan to model streams as scenery objects, at least in some places, so that I can capture the...

Fellow Trainzers, A friend and I are contemplating a series of routes faithful to the prototype, based up NP operations in South Eastern Washington and West Central Idaho, starting from Spokane, WA, to Lewiston, Idaho, and including the branches to Farmingon, WA and from Pullman, WA to Genesee...

Friends, When I first upgraded to TS12, there were a couple of routes on which I had been working that did not make the transition very well. In fact, the transition was so poor that I put the routes on the digital shelf. But with a little more experience with TS12, I have decided that maybe...

OK. I admit it. One of the mistakes I made yesterday (I allow myself two a day, but one of the default two, is making a mistake in counting the number of mistakes) was to paint some ground textures on a "real route", instead of my usual practice of using a one baseboard testbed. I wasn't...

Friends, The announcement that GAURC was being shut down causes me to think about a few other sites that are also gone. But it also leads me to ask two questions: 1) under what circumstances (if any) might the name of a third party site be used by someone else? and 2) should there not be a list...

Friends, ...this blog (<http://wagonfreak.blogspot.com/>) about Australian prototype railroad freight equipment. I don't mean to suggest that I'm the first to find it, nor the first to post it, but the other links are in parts of the forum where they might escape attention, and even for those...
