G'day. I know it's a bit off topic but given Auran's Aussie heritage I can't believe that none of the Trainz whingers have taken the opportunity to draw parallels with the latest Ashes Series. Sledges such as: "Are Doherty and Bollinger behind the introduction of 'Speedtrees'?" "Does Ricky...

Hi any creators I've been searching the web for drawings of UK rolling stock and came upon this site: http://gallery6801.fotopic.net/ . It contains thousands of quality photographs collected over 35 years by a gentleman called Paul Bartlett. It's claimed to be the most extensive collection on...

For reasons other than Trainz I have been doing some research into remote server hosting. A story caught my eye this morning regarding Australia's future for the internet. In particular the proposed imposed filtering and the impact that will have on an already "not the fastest" service in the...

The title was inspired by the Hans Christian Anderson fairytale or was it Grimms? The subject is my continued frustration and irritation with not being able to induce a 5m grid in TR2010's Surveyor. To illustrate my point I have taken a screenshot to aid my explanation. See below: What I...

Although there is an excellent tutorial on "Block" signaling it didn't cover shunting or branch signals. I was confused and completely ignorant of their use and how to implement them in Trainz. A search of various sites didn't come up with any practical help or tutorials. Partly inspired by...

Hi I have just ordered 2010 and bought S & C. On installing S & C, integrating it into TR2009, I discovered that in Surveyor all my extensive list of filters have not been retained. I had some fifty filters to help selection of assets when route building. Before anybody asks I backed up onto...

Hi I run tr2009 & TC3 using mainly UK freight rolling stock. Most have the ability to have animated couplings but none show as connecting in Surveyor. I have spent a long time looking to see why without success. Any ideas to get them working would be much appreciated. Martin

Hi Notwithstanding the good database filters that can be applied in CM2 I am finding it increasingly difficult to find assets I want to use in Surveyor. This is heightened by the many assets that don't come with an accompanying screen-shot icon. Add to this the large number of assets that are...

Hi I recently submitted a suggestion to the "Suggestion Boxcar" (http://forums.auran.com/trainz/showthread.php?t=43419) of an idea I had for the ability to choose the baseboard colour. The idea was to save on the amount of texture one needs to apply in largely unseen areas thus saving on...

Hi About a week ago I posted a suggestion to "Suggestion Boxcar" and as of the time of writing it has not appeared on the forum. I appreciate that that forum is moderated and that the moderators have something better to do than instantly respond to a new post. However I would have thought a...

Hi I have successfully imported various assets into TRS2009 and although most report some form of error they all, in the most part, work and appear without problem. This is not the case with locomotives created by "lielestosbrat" and in particular "Evening Star" and "Black Prince". I have...

Hi The BBC has released some interesting old footage which some of you out there might find interesting. A start to the stories can be found here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/archive/steamtrains/7318.shtml?all=1&id=7318 I'm afraid that is about as "Woolly hat" as I get but some of the footage is an...

Hi I cannot run TRS2006. The error message I continually get is as follows: File: .\TrainzLog.cpp Line: 52 Classs: Trainz Error Reason: Main Task> Unable to open Interface dialog Version: Jet vRRRRR.RR Build 1234.5.QQQQQ No call stack available. I have uninstalled...

I would like to know if anybody has produced any assets based on the Rowland Emett "Punch cartoons" of the 1940's. His drawings were made into reality during the Festival of Britain in 1951. The "Far Twittering and Oyster Creek Railway" are a classic now and then and I believe some of his...
