It might not be Trainz, but I like this, it reminds me of chrisracer8903's old routes. The scenery isn’t insanely detailed by today's standards, but it's effective, and a reasonable compromise when depicting a giant urban setting.

I'm not aware of any Nippon-Sharyo Highliners in Trainz, but it appears that the user VVVFInverter just uploaded some of the original St. Louis Car Co. Highliners in their Metra livery to the DLS a few days ago: METRA Highliner <KUID:605184:100304> It's not exactly what you're looking for, but...

Try to find an employee track chart of the Marceline Sub. That should give you the locations of signals as well as other useful information such as the alignment, elevation and grade of the track.

On second thought, this 👆

I saw murmurs in another thread about revamped Geeps in the works, so I suppose I'll throw my hat in the ring and nominate this magnificent old 💩box: The "J" initially had five of these GP38-2s, but 703 was the last one remaining at the time of the CN purchase. Beloved by foamers and loathed by...

How do we feel about using AI audio separation to create engine and hornsounds? I've been playing around with isolating the sound of a motor from the track noise in some some vintage audio recordings, and while my success has been limited thus far, I do sense some potential here.

Getting this discussion back on topic, I'm on the fence as to what to do about this old thread. On the one hand, I get a kick out of the fact that it's still going after 15 years (I can even go back and edit my OP if I wanted to) but on the other, it seems as though there really isn't much...

That's presumably why you got a warning and not a ban.

Did the steep grades play any role in why a number of lines (e.g. BCR, MILW, VGN) were electrified, or was it exclusively concern over the smoke in tunnels?

I've been relying on some old American charts from the 1930s for my current project. While most curves are noted in degrees/minutes/seconds, there is at least one 90° curve (yes, really!) which instead has its radius noted in feet. This seems to be more-or-less exactly what I based my 100'...

So after several weeks of research, it seems that I may have been seriously overthinking this. Apparently, railroad curve measurements are (or at least were) based on 100' chords, and I think that the angles noted in these charts represent the angle of deflection. So... Using the track chart...

Thank you, John! Looks like I'm in business for real this time (y)

For the time being, I should be just fine manually raising the UTM tiles to their correct height, and as Michel pointed out, you can play around with the parameters in TransDEM itself. At this point, I'm just curious what might have changed, as the tiles were generated at the correct height...

No problem, I appreciate your help regardless! Thank you, John! It would seem that I had, in fact, forgotten to install the TransDEM textures when I migrated over to TRS19. After installing the .CDPs and importing a fresh export of my TransDEM data, I am now seeing the raster map textures...

To tell you the truth, Jon, I couldn't see your location or signature when browsing on my phone, and for some reason I had you clocked as hailing from the U.K. 🫣 I suppose the Zs should have been a clue that I was off-base here...
