Hey Trainman7616,
Could I get the drawings for 3751? I'm going to do a comparison between the 3751's and the 2900's designs.
I don't think his method requires diagrams. So he probably doesn't have drawings.

Hi Guys, I'm looking to get some clear advice on the simplest and cheapest method, to take a map image from say, Google Earth and import it into TS12 or T:ANE.
I have already browsed through this thread and I see a number of people use different ways to achieve their goal. However, I'm not a computer 'Guru' in any way, so any complicated system is not going to help me.
I've seen prices for 3DsMax (which I understand is the latest program) but at $2,300 for a yearly sub, this is definitely out of the question!
Is there a basic step-by-step procedure available that I could use which would give good results? And what programs would I need?
OR,
Is there any source, who might prepare map files, which in turn, could be imported simply into Trainz?
These questions have probably been asked before, but I haven't been able to locate specific answers.
Cheers, Roy3b3
If you are not a "guru," then you are like me, trying to learn the ropes. It can be confusing, with all of the options, so I wanted to make sure that when you are saying "Map Image," you are not also including elevation data in your question.
I broke down and purchased TranzDEM, and am glad I did if for no other reason than this outstanding tool provides the capability of combining the elevation modeling (DEM) with raster and vector (think basic routes) translated directly to baseboards that can be loaded into the Surveyor. It also works with Google Earth as well. I find it useful to combine maps from both Google Earth and USGS. I think that it was well worth the price, but I am still in the learning process with it. It certainly looks like a tool that will save a lot of time and aggravation.
Blender, 3DSMax, and GMAX have nothing to do with making a Rout, they are for making a mesh as used in making a train car.
It reminds me of a LB&SCR L class 4-6-4 Baltic.The start of something new, any guesses what it is? Hint: there is a wheelset missing.
That would be an LB&SCR L Class tank engine. Ok, I can't remember whether or not they were the L Class, but I do remember that only the LB&SCR had 4-6-4 tank engines painted in that color.The start of something new, any guesses what it is? Hint: there is a wheelset missing.
