I am just starting on TransDem. I am interested in modeling a short stretch of sightseeing railroad in Western Maryland. Following the manual, I have gotten Dems from USGS NED and raster maps from MSR. From Gisa's excellent tutorial I have learned about CanVec which has vector maps for all of...

I would like to experiment with computer-generated terrain using DEM data. To get started I installed MicroDem and HOG and used an excellent but outdated (2003) tutorial to create the file 'Tutorial Layout.gnd' which is supposed to be moved into the folder \Auran ...\World\Custom\Maps. I found...

I would like to incorporate a working hump yard into my layout. By working I mean where the cars will automatically decouple as they pass the tower and can be programmed to divert into a particular siding. I am using TS20009 and have downloaded "Matlin Hump Yard", "Matlin Hump Yard Revised"...

I suddenly began getting a red error message signal in Driver which says: HoldPathRule: Thread Exception: ER_NullReference, line 271, file holdpathrule.gs(1) When I click on More I get function $void@HoldPathRule: HoldPath(), line-1 Does anyone have any idea what this means and/or what I can...

Can't Make Path Control Work in TS2009 I started looking into the js-TRF Path Control rule as a possible way to get around problems I was having in getting trains to reliably back into tracks on a yard ladder. I'm pretty sure I've set up the rule properly thanks to help and suggestions from...

I'm a relative newbie starting to program scenarios in my route. I have track marks near the end of each track in my 12-track yard but when I give a driver the command 'Navigate to Track Mark Yard 8', for example, the consist always goes to Yard 1 at the top. It then realizes it's in the wrong...

I just downloaded one of fishlipsatwork's terrain files and, separately, the Hog textures. My question is, what do I do with the Hog textures and/or where do I put them? I'm also curious as to what Hog stands for? Many thanks, Warren

Sometimes there is information in a cfg file that I would like to print, such as the description of a session or the details of using an animated object. The way the file opens in CMP, however, without word wrap, makes it too wide to print. I would appreciate any ideas on how to get around...

Hi All: I am running TS09 and trying to use the tutorial by Phil Skene to get familiar with LARS. I have downloaded and installed ProtoLARS Industrail 2:69871:10002:3 and LARS Industrail 2:69871:10001:3. Also LARS Aggregates and LARS2 Steel--Hot Metal. All except LARS2 Steel show either...

I have only been running TS2009 for a month and already I have nearly 2,000 files and over 5 gigs in my main TS2009 folder. What sub folders do you all recommend backing up in case of a crash? Many thanks in advance. Warren

Can someone please tell me what the bumpers at the ends of tracks in yards and sidings are called and where to find them? Many thanks, Warren

Could someone please tell me how to display frame rates in Driver mode? I'm running TRS09, build 40040. Thanks, Warren

As a newbie I'm still getting used to TRS and Surveyor so I have this stupid question: where do I find straight or curved road objects or how do I build them? I've found road intersections, road cul de sacs, roundabouts, etc. but can't figure out how to simply lay down a road. It must be...

Hi All, I'm a newbie, just starting out with TRS2009. I would like to animate loading logs from the Forestry object, unloading them at Lumber Mill and loading boards from Lumber Mill. My problem is I can't find rolling stock that works with these objects. Can anyone please point me in the...
