l'm about ready to install Smooz's Blanks DEM routes for Trainz UTC in .cdp format. Three questions before I do! The routes are Fingerlakes West, Fingerlakes East and Fingerlakes South. Where will the layouts be found in Trainz UTC, Surveyor? Do these routes have to be merged together and...

I'm thinking about doing a set of four layouts using Trainz UTC. Two would be NG and two would be SG. Both sets would consist of a North-South route and a East-West route. My initial idea was to run dogbones from the temperate East to the Desert and from Sub-Tropical Florida up to a East Coast...

I've got some maps where there is 36" NG track on one end and Standard Gauge on the other end. Lacking some examples of three rail multi-guage tracks, is there a way to connect tracks of differing gauges in a prototypical manner? Thanks, Gang! ChristopherT

During a recent vacation back to Central New York, I had the opportunity to visit the Central Square Station Museum in Central Square NY. http://www.cnynrhs.org/CentralSq.html On a scale of 1 to 10, the staff and facility that greeted me and my family was a 20! The museum itself is packed...

I found the perfect United Aircraft Corporation TurboTrain for UTC. The problem is the pack only comes with one of the Headend unit and one of the passenger units. In Transport Tycoon Deluxe, hitting the CTRL key while adding an engine to a consist would make it a double header. Is there a...

It goes something like this... 1. Build a layout and save it. 2. Test layout in several Driver runs. 3. Download new scenery from DLS and install it. 4. Open Surveyor and open layout. 5. Attempt to place new objects in scenery, they don't appear on scenery - no picture in the Objects...

People looking for content for older versions like UTC or 2004 should consider narrow gauge trains as an option. I've located a LOT of UTC compatible locomotives and rolling stock as well as scenery for 3ft (36") gauge railroads. Search the DLS (or the Internet) for Denver and Rio Grande or...

Narrow Gauge Tracks for Trainz UTC by KIUD? I know, longshot!, but I just downloaded Whecsailor's excellent 36" Dunkirk Shay for UTC and I need some good track under it. :D I did try some other tracks from both the DLS and other sites but they wouldn't show up in the Surveyor when I layed them...

I just bought a copy of Trainz UTC for my son and installed it. He's having a blast driving the various trains and using the Surveyor layout editor. Both of us have had lots of experience with BVE 2.0 and BVE 4.0, none with MSTS. I downloaded a copy of the "Old Timer" 4-4-0 American and I was...
