Is anyone else experiencing a "ghost layer" over any of their paint layers? For some reason, I have found several areas on a route I am building from scratch in TS22. It has appeared while painting ballast over some track. As I paint, the surface of the grid lowers slightly. When passing over...

When I place water in my layout there is a line where the water is transparent on the edge. That is fine when I model a beach or pond, but I am modeling a harbor with a dock and do not want to see under the surface next to the dock. Is there a fix for this or am I doing something wrong? thanks

Anyone have an opinion as to whether this laptop would run the latest Trainz version very well? 2021 Acer Nitro 5 AN515 15.6" FHD 144Hz IPS Premium Gaming Laptop, Intel Quad-Core i5-10300H, 16GB RAM, 512GB PCIe SSD, NVIDIA RTX 3050, Backlit KB, Windows 10 + W Hard Drive: 512GB PCIe SSD...

I have been away since late 2018 after selling most everything I owned and living full-time in a Travel Trailer, I own a copy of TANE (from back in the Kick Starter campaign days) having moved back into an apartment and am contemplating a desk top purchase. I am on a fixed income and had...

I am re-arranging a few rooms in my house and will not have my gaming desktop in the same room as my router and will NOT be able to use an ethernet cable to connect. I will need to buy a wireless adapter and need some input as to what to consider in choosing one. I see that a USB as opposed to...

Can someone advise what to look for in Performance Statistics in Surveyor/Driver that is dragging down frame rates? There is a LOT of info there and I am not quite sure what I am looking for and what to do when I find it ! Thanks.

I apologize if this is common knowledge to everyone else (except for me, apparently). When normally working in Wire Frame mode to tweak terrain height, I would click on the intersections of the WHITE grid to move them up or down as needed, constantly being frustrated when a quick click produced...

I am trying to learn how to program sessions and have been experimenting with all of it, but I have not been able to figure out "Play Sound". I am not sure how to get a sound to play when I want it to. There are not any clear instructions on that particular subject in the Edit Session menus...

Can someone tell me what the corresponding Safetran signal is for Signal USA 04; 02; and L02? How about the difference between Safetran NS Signal dwarf and Safetran NS Signal dwarf (siding). They both seem to operate the same at first glance, but there may be subtle differences? Thanks.

I am looking for any input as to how some of you add trees to your routes. I have a rather large (100+ baseboards) based in the Appalachian mountains and need A LOT of trees. Currently I am using Copy and Paste to do this, but because I am limited to the North-South and East-West nature of...

Is there a way to give the "Spline height'" tool an adjustment to slow down or limit the amount of movement? When using tools such as "Adjust height'" and "Rotate Object" I can hold the Shift or Ctrl key to slow down and move smaller increments. There seems to be none available for the "Spline...

I LOVE the new Wall and Roof splines from Dave Snow, but I want to know what the trick is to get them all lined up properly. When using TANE, I keep getting the warning that the splines are NOT COMPATIBLE and have to resort to placing the splines away from each other and then MOVING them into...

I am looking for High Quality passenger coaches along the lines of Amtrak modern era coaches. I have looked on the DLS to no avail. There are lots of coaches, but none of the high quality like you would find from RRMods or Jointed Rail. Anyone know where to find some?

Can one place too many Track Direction Markers? If I want to keep traffic flowing onto certain tracks through a yard in northerly and southerly directions, will I run into problems by placing too many markers on the tracks? I am attempting to "head off" problems with running AI trains though...

I have read the Wiki on how to create a session, but am more confused that when I started. Is there any way to view a session that already exists in order to see just how all of the rules and stuff are put together to make things work? I tried to create a session test by putting a trigger on a...
