Strange one, this! 6 identical consists [BR class 158 DMU's] on a loop circuit through 6 different late model stations. Simple track specs, all t:ane concrete, all default switch levers, basic signalling with identical signal US 2 04. circuit length around 36 miles, default signal block length 3...

Bought a rig in 2020,was supposedly future proof and optimised for TRS 19./ Windows 10. Have since upgraded to Windows 11 and Trainz 22. Experiencing game lockup or sometimes whole PC lockup when operating Chrome and Trainz at the same time, on 2 screens, and on one screen with Trainz in...

Hi, I'm trying my hand at merging a module into a route that I have built from scratch, have hit a small snag. I've merged my own route with a downloaded module, and copy /pasted a yard from the module into the desired space on my layout. Having difficulty connecting the two different track...

I'm currently building a layout for British HST's and fast freight, can anyone point me in the right direction for the right crossings/control system for level crossings? Thanks, CB.

After 5 years of running in low-res on a 20 inch screen powered by a laptop I decided that it was time to up the ante a bit. These are the specs for my new rig - Intel i7 3.8 Ghz 8 core 16 thread 16 Gb RAM 1Tb SSHD. nvidia rtx 2060 super 8Gb I've also added a second screen, 27"...

So I'm running a session with multiple AI consists, using several different loco/commodity combinations. One consist is having persistent issues with collisions. I'm double heading with DD40X'S on a 2200tonne coal train. Ruling gradient for the layout is 2%, which is used in significant...

Here we go again.....AI woes, 2019 edition.I'm beginning to think that making AI work correctly is some kind of arcade game that the developers have included as a massive inside joke. I've spent the last 4 days lovingly stocking my freshly-purchased copy of 2019 with goodies from the DLS, and...

I'm working on some route features based on a local line. How do I convert local gradient terminology [i.e. 1:50} into the scale used in surveyor?

Pretty much as per the title really. I've got quite a few industries set up, and getting the balances right between industry inputs and outputs can be quite tricky. For example, if I'm running a lumber mill, and set the logs consumption too high, I cannot manufacture enough lumber to supply the...

Can anyone point me to a high quality route that uses iron ore assets well? I'm trying to incorporate some into my current build, but there's a bit of a mixture of assets and there appear to be at least two different industry commodities listed as iron ore that are not interchangeable. Would...

Please see attached screen grab. Both trains are running on AI. Train on left has become inexplicably stranded on the junction, and was manually reversed to a point behind the signal. Both trains have been stopped. Junction lever closest to trains has disengaged from AI, next set of points...

i'm building a route around a Seaport, controlled by dwarf signals, and experiencing difficulties with AI trains delivering Crude Oil. After unloading,the command schedule advances, but these trains do not depart for their next destination,and cannot be restarted in AI mode. The work-around is...

I'm looking for crossings with barrier arms that deploy in a realistic timeframe to suit moderate to fast trains.Most of them don't seem to like trains travelling at much more than 20-30 mph, with the barriers often deploying after the loco has crossed the road....!. Any suggestions?

Hope someone can help me here, looking for recommendations on boxcars with high capacity for Flour. I really don't want to go tinkering in the config files, I'm just looking for 'click and play' solutions. Cheers!
