There is one available at a nominal cost at PaulzTrainz (link below): http://www.paulztrainz.myenet.info/inside/N_GWR72xx.htm However, whether you are happy with it or not becomes rather subjective. Regards. Colin.

Actually, "mindless entertainment" is a rather narrow view of Trainz. There are many who get nostalgic pleasure from following trains around. There are many who get great satisfaction out of replacing their model railway (along with the inherent space limitations) with layouts that are virtually...

Hmmmmmmmmmph! Youngster! :)

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!

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...

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...

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.

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...

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...

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?

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...

Totally agree with you.

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...

- 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...

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