I noticed that there was snow missing at selected spots on the tracks at Plattling station, as per the screenshot below. I can understand that the bare spots on the straight track had rolling stock in that position when it snowed thus preventing the snow from falling on those pieces of...

Hi there, I thought I'd start this thread mainly as a personal diary to track my progress in creating a new route, my first serious attempt at route creation. The route is called Newtown and will initially have just two passenger stations and two industries, a coal mine/tipple to produce coal...

Not being up to speed on the technical aspects of running a railway, I was under the impression that most countries had some sort of standardised rail gauge that had been implemented over time. This article on Wikipedia, though, points out that Australia still faces some challenges in this...

Hi all, I just want to take a moment to thank Andi for his wonderful animated switches / turnouts / junctions. I am busy replacing all of my junctions with Andi's animated junctions because, in my opinion, it adds to the realism of the Trainz experience. Regards, Ian

Hi all, I need some assistance in finding a pavement (or sidewalk as some would call it) to match the one shown in these screenshots. The bakery comes with the pavement already attached and I would like to continue with a similar pavement in front of the other shops. Any...

I found this article rather amusing. It reminds me of the phrase "if you build it, they will come." http://www.iol.co.za/index.php?set_id=1&click_id=29&art_id=nw20100105222610425C136664 Regards, Ian

Hi all, Just thought I'd share this anomaly with you. I had a non-fatal crash of TS2009 which, while allowing me to continue using Trainz, removed certain vital portions of these locomotives. :p Kind regards, Ian

Passenger Enabled Invisible Platform (Contains 800 × 600 pictures) Hi all, I am trying to make a station passenger interactive by using 2009's builtin 50m invisible station. The problem, though, is that I have to lower the station building to -0.40 so that the height of the passengers...
