    Hi Annie - A bit of Route trivia for you. Plasmawr Road is in Cardiff, and I spent a year (1964!) there in a college on Plasmawr Road!

    UK Forests

    You could download my Tristyn District GWR Route (TRS19) and see how I utilize trees. My criteria was to establish a "main" tree, then a secondary tree and occasionally an accent tree. By mixing the main and secondary trees (i.e. only 2 trees), you are being nice to your PC which is likely...

    Trainz in two different computers?

    A bit late coming to this party, but running Trainz on multiple computers can cause a problem totally caused by the user (I know from experience)! In my scenario, I have all my Routes/Sessions on my latest PC, but the original/earlier copies remained on my "retired" PC however, its retirement...

    Good British routes

    You could try my (Driver_Col) Billinton Routes/Sessions, and also my Drummond Routes/Sessions. They were built in TANE but may well adapt to later versions of Trainz.

    program shuts down when train reaches a speed of 56 mph

    Perhaps try running a loco somewhere else on the Route. This will either confirm/refute that the speed is the issue. Perhaps location is the issue. It has been my experience that Windows updates do not necessarily include all drivers, especially my graphics! I went to Nvidia direct and found...

    Is it possible to make an AI train ignore a Track Direction Marker?

    I have had AI loco ignore a Direction Marker pointing against it, but have never been successful intentionally. Having said that, and in my experience with my Routes/Sessions, if an AI loco is expected to travel the wrong way over a specific piece of trackwork, then a trackwork revision solves...

    What's going on here then? - BR 9F Evening Star & Black Prince

    Well I can only assume that they never made it on the ECML from Peterborough to Kings X. It is also a bit of a puzzle understanding why a 9F rated locomotive would be allocated to a passenger haul? Perhaps scrapping of old steam was faster than the diesel introductions?

    What's going on here then? - BR 9F Evening Star & Black Prince

    When I was comparing Trainz with other sims quite a few years ago, Trainz had the advantage of an impressive selection of items available for download at no charge. Other sims were apparently better in quality/realism, but to expand ones collection of rolling stock generally involved payware. It...

    What's going on here then? - BR 9F Evening Star & Black Prince

    As a matter of academic interest, the "9F" was British Railways highest rating for a freight locomotive and would therefore never see service hauling passenger stock. The only use a 9F + coaches would serve is for a preservation company on their private trackwork, or if BR gave permission to...

    Help. I need a fix to stop trains backing out on "Drive To ..." AI/Driver commands.

    - So you have been in Trainz since 1.3? Pleased to hear it, and so have many of us so not sure what your point was. - No one commented on the contradiction of train instructions? Your original Post was asking for ideas on how to circumvent an issue. Telling you what you already knew served...

    Help. I need a fix to stop trains backing out on "Drive To ..." AI/Driver commands.

    Oh that sounds so familiar! I guess we've all done it at some point in time! :) Regards. Colin.

    Help. I need a fix to stop trains backing out on "Drive To ..." AI/Driver commands.

    You might find the direction markers useful to prevent (sometimes!) a train from reversing. You could also add an additional Trackmark just ahead of any problem intersections, and direct the trains to go "Via (the new Trackmark". i.e. it would serve no purpose for the train to reverse. Regards...

    Revised Tristyn District (GWR) Route/Session

    Many thanks Paul. It was a lot of work but well worth the effort. The problem now is for me to stop playing with it, and get working on another route! :) Regards. Colin.
