For some reason, the loads of locomotives and rolling stock have started popping up every once and a while for a few seconds in Drive mode. My first reaction was to see if there was a setting to disable showing loads in Surveyor, but there doesn't seem to be such an option. My copy of T:ANE...

The title should explain my predicament. I've searched on TKI and with a couple web browsers to no avail. The page for Tidewater Point gives no indication as to where these assets can be found. To clarify, I have not bought the content pack. I neither have the money, nor do I want to spend $40...

Doing a quick search on the DLS pops up a good selection of 3-part whistles, but not really the kind of whistles I'm looking for. Are there any websites about that feature some fairly good 3-part whistles outside of what's on the DLS? Thanks in advance!

My dad says he remembers standing under the Wabash Bridge in St. Charles, MO when he was a kid and hearing the chugging of a steam locomotive going across. He says it would have around 1975 through 1977-ish around the summer time. It has my curiosity peaked, and I'm trying to see if I can find...

I was just curious if there were any Trainz routes that were based in Arkansas. I've looked around, but I haven't really found any. It seems like I found one on the DLS one time a few years ago, but I've since been unable to find it. If there aren't any, that's fine. I was just wondering. Thanks!

So how did railroads coordinate double-heading steam locomotives? Not just how they communicated (which I am curious about), but what kind of system the engineers used to coordinate power output. With two locomotives of the same class, it seems like it would be easy; just set the throttle and...

I'm trying to find an equation that can give me the tonnage rating for a given locomotive, using the locomotive's traction effort/horsepower and the ruling grade of a route. I've searched on Google, and found some explanations as to how you would calculate the tonnage rating (including a couple...

I don't know if anyone else has discovered this, but you can edit your T:ANE screenshots using your favorite photo editing software, and then upload said screenshots... in-game. How might you be able to do this? Just like in some previous Trainz versions, your screenshots are saved a folder...

I got a new computer as a Christmas present a little before I bought T:ANE (in fact, I was wanting the computer specifically so I could run T:ANE). Long story short, I changed my mind a few times, and I finally decided on my current computer. It has 2 TB HDD, 16 GB of RAM, and an AMD FX-8800P...

The T:ANE CM says that the cab mechanism for the BW9 (the JRPX Club Car version) is faulty. After clicking "View Errors and Warnings", this is the error: "VE73 : Image file 'glass.tga' is incorrectly used as both a texture.txt source file and a raw image file." How should I go about fixing this?

So in the T:ANE CM, I clicked on the "Developer" tab and then clicked "New Content", expecting the T:ANE equivalent of TS12's Content Creator Plus, but all it did was create a new, blank, asset. Which doesn't do me much good, considering the fact that I have no idea how to create content...

I recently downloaded the NS SD60E (Horsehead), and there are a couple of the required assets that I can't change the build number from 3.7 to 3.6 without making them faulty: "SD60E cab mechanism" (<kuid2:45324:90002:1>) and "SD60E engine" (<kuid2:45324:6605:1>). From what I can see, I can't...

I can't seem to find this kuid anywhere: <kuid:37581:1184>. I've Googled it, I've searched for it on the Download Station (both on the website itself and via Content Manager), and the JR website. Nothing. According to the config file for the MQJR Baldwin S12, it's the kuid for the horn. Thanks!

So yesterday, I bought a new computer (which is a LOT better and faster than the old computer), and I'm busy transferring all my stuff to the new computer, including my Trainz data. So I'm trying to figure out how to transfer all of my Trainz 12 data to the new computer. How might I go about...

My first question is about ditchlight operation. As far as I can tell, they're activated by the horn and automatically turn off? Are they operated in any other fashion? My second question is, can ditchlights be added to payware locomotives that don't already have them, such as the SD70's and...
