OK, so you know how when you stop at a station, you temporarily lose control of the locomotive while passengers are loading/unloading, and then control is returned and you can go again? Well, I've tested several combinations of passenger stations / coaches that use the "passengers western"...

I'm a little surprised there isn't already a thread about this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3N-cBSK-W8 Luckily there were no injuries or property damage. Some excellent drone footage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=famb0Znci1o&t=270s The bridge used to be double track, but the 2nd...

I've been experimenting with interactive industries (mostly the customizable multi-industry tracks) and I was wondering if it's possible in the config files to slow down the loading/unloading to be more realistic? The way it is now, let's say I have a log clinch that holds 10 longs. I pull the...

I've noticed that on some of the trains I run (steam locos) the wheels, piston rods, etc. are only animated if you zoom in close. A few notches on the mouse wheel out, and it looks like the loco is magically sliding down the tracks. I'm not even zoomed out that far -- I'm in "train following"...

I was driving on the Healesville route the other day, and when I got to the end of the line the instructions told me to run around to the other end of the train so I could go back the other way. Now, my understanding is that the Brake Van should always be at the end of a train, so that if a...

I was wondering if anyone has created any 36inch ng track that supports procedural junctions. I've looked around on the CM and searched the forums, but if such an asset exists I haven't been able to find it. I would prefer something that's visually similar to the built-in "1trk wood", but at...

The title and the following screenshot pretty much say it all: This is happening with every junction on the route. I tried a database repair, and it worked once but when I opened the route again the next time it was broken again. Has anyone else had this problem?

So I just downloaded the Blue Comet for TANE, and laid out a simple oval of track in Surveyor to test it out on. When I went into Driver, the first thing I noticed was that the Regulator on the HUD was blinking yellow, which I understand means the wheels are slipping. With the regulator closed...

I'm building a route, and I was testing it with a Big Boy hauling 60 empty flats (2,000 tons total). I was heading up a 0.5% grade at 40 kph (the speed limit on this winding mountain road) when I saw my boiler pressure climbing. I've read the manual and I know about adding water and coal to...

Hi everyone, Here's what I'm trying to do. I have a logging area with several Forestries. I want to put a fuel depot where you unload a car of Diesel Fuel, and it allows the Forestries to operate for 30 minutes. Easy, just use the Power Station rule, right? Wrong. After 2 days of...
