I am putting this n general trains 'cause it doesn't make any difference what version you're using. This will work for everyone. I woke up with a nuclear explosion n my head about a route that should b a lot of fun. It's called "Shuffling the Deck" and I will b using the Mars equipment, the...

I just read the other poster's message about why his post was moved, so rechecked mine so I could post n the correct place. Well, fat chance of that happening. The list was, maintenance- support>ts12 then my post title. So where is it? Somewhere out in the South 40 of the universe? Listen...

Okay, let's c if I can explain this better. Let's start with the Tiberium vs Aerotrain. The Aerotrain (and all my other trains) I can adjust the speed to the mph. The Tiberium, move the speed dial just a hair, and it will eventually get up to 20-30 mph past where I want it to go. The HST is even...

Hi all, this is my first post on this forum, so for those who haven't heard of me, let me introduce myself. My name is Cactushead, and I am currently building a Mars layout, and having a ball with it. Anyway, I remembered a interesting factoid I got from Trains Magazine sometime back. (If u...

I've been thinking of this for years, since I got a used copy of UTC back n the day. So, today, I'm going to stick my head n the guillotine and ask a dumb question. Let's say I'm setting up Uncle Pete's "City of Portland", starting with an E-9 A and three E-9 B's. I save it off and enter...

Man, what have I gotten myself into here? I have become totally addicted to building a rail empire on Mars. Several people like ish6 and Butler 57 and others have done an excellent job creating futureistic trains, like the maglevs and buildings. I must have downloaded over six thousand items in...

ish6 & everybody else/Marsz route update Well, I can't believe all the stuff that's been created for Mars. My route is coming along fine. In fact, I have one session completed. I just need to decorate it. Ish, I'm having trouble going thru those six thousand + downloads to get the kuids you...

I don't know how many of you have tried to build a Mars layout, but the maglev's locomotives have a serious problem. The throttles r set way to sensitive. A good case n point is the HST engine. It's the worst one. Just barely moving the throttle dial a couple thousands of an inch, and in ten...

I'm building a Marsz layout using ish 6's and alien 3's creations. I just got a wild idea. Wouldn't it b fun to have a 5'10" statue of Marvin the Martian and K-9 to plant somewhere on the layout? Or several places. Maybe several in different poses? Anyone up for that? Just a thot. Waddaya...

:D And thank u for all the neat Mars stuff. Finally, I mite just b able to finish a layout. My biggest problem n building a layout is the scenery. I just don't have the flair for it. But for as long as I can remember, I have always had rather intense attraction to Mars. In fact, maybe I will be...

Hi there. Maybe you can help me with a problem with your Milwaukee Hiawatha cars. I was able to download the Skytop lounge ok, but the rest of them, in the "content manager" page I got a red bar, and when I moused over it, it said "asset not compatible with your program". That doesn't make sense...

I'm looking for two specific trainz, but the search comes up empty, and at 74 years old, I don't have a lot of time left to search thru 23,000 plus downloads. So, I hope somebody can point me n the rite direction. First, the Milwaukee Road Hiawatha, the one with the Skytop Lounge. I had it on my...

As far as I'm concerned, Microsoft should have stopped with XP. I've had nothing but trouble with 7, 8 & and forget 10. Biggest waste of pixels since Eniac. So, here's what I'm going to do. Get my XP fixed. I'm going to stick with what works. I designed and bought the parts for it and had a guy...

Well fiddle. It seems the more questions I ask, the more confused I get:D. Okay, in words of one syllable or less, how do I set this 'puter up as 'administrator, and how do I set it for 64 bit depth? TIA Cactushead.:confused:

First of all, will this work on Windows 7, 'cause 2012 absolutely will not. I lost use of my XP computer which ran 2012 perfectly, so I switched it to my Lenovo 'all in one', and lost half of my assets. Also, everything I download the CM shows all green arrows, but when I check the pick list...
