I am creating a switch stand that has coronas on it. I want the lights to remain on constantly. However, currently they only "flash" on when the switch is toggled. Would anyone know why this is occurring? kuid <kuid:87135:146> username...

Thank you all for your help. I'm updating these and giving them 3.5 build numbers.

I have created a route that requires a number of assets that I have uploaded to the DLS. However, CM doesn't see them as existing on the DLS, even though you can find them through the web version. Here is one example KUID that is on the DLS but doesn't appear in CM: <kuid:87135:102470> Has...

I'm considering a train layout build that involves one of these: https://www.bouldercreekengineering.com/weighstation.php Has anyone implemented a script where a car can be weighed on a scale/trackmark/trigger and the weight of the car be provided?

In the latest episode of "What Makes This Layout Great": In January of 2019, I was invited to join the crew of Michael Hauk’s Susquehanna & New York Railroad. After spending a few hours running trains on his HO layout, I was so enamored with it that I decided I wanted to take it home with me...

When you think of a coal hauler, your first thought is likely of some six-axle units hauling huge cuts of hoppers across hundreds of miles. A twenty mile shortline using four-axle switchers is a bit of a stretch, but that’s how it was done on the LEFC. Can an obscure shortline primarily hauling...

In this new video series, we use Trainz 19 to answer a big question: what makes this layout great? The first layout we'll be looking at is the Reading Railroad-themed Merkiomen Branch. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

I'm trying to use Quick Portal Manager (kuid ending in 53) with CMTM4. Every train generated by the portal cannot seem to be controlled (if it has an engine, it keeps driving), and I cannot click on the consist that has been generated. I saw another thread that suggested using version 39 of...

I'm working on a layout where I'm realizing that the proximity of backdrops to the track and scenery causes them to cast unwanted shadows over everything. How have other people avoided this issue? Is it just a matter of disabling shadows entirely, or are there backdrop assets that do not cast...

I am trying to figure out the best method to execute this scenario with ATLS. See the map as a reference. Train 1 is Westbound (right-to-left on the map) and stops at the picnic grove on the main line (red). The railroad crossing is not activated. Train 2 is Eastbound (left-to-right on the...

The Susuquehanna & New York Railroad was a short-line railroad connecting the Lehigh Valley Railroad at Towanda, Pennsylvania with the Pennsylvania Railroad at Marsh Hill Junction. The railroad carried freight and passengers between Williamsport and Towanda. I was introduced to this railroad...

...most routes for train simulators are designed to replicate a real railroad. This is a route aimed at looking like a model railroad while functioning like the real thing. Can the Diamond River Mining route for Trainz 12 combine model and v-scale railroading? We'll find out in this...

Coal has always been an important resource, and the Reading and Northern is one railroad hauling it out of the mines of Eastern Pennsylvania. Does this route come to life in Trainz 12? We'll find out in this review...at the railyard! At The Railyard Website: http://attherailyard.com/...

...for 49 episodes, we've looked at routes and rolling stock for a variety of simulators. However, I often see questions about what simulator is the best overall. Is it possible to choose just one? We'll find out in this special episode featuring scenes from different simulators (including...

...in the last three years, we've looked at a variety of Microsoft Train Simulator add-ons "At The Railyard". Now, the time has come to look at another simulator and the content built for it - Trainz Railroad Simulator. We've seen how New Jersey looks in MSTS as part of the PRR Eastern Region...
