Every so often, I tinker in surveyor and make small new routes for myself (most never get finished, but I enjoy the process of creating a little "world"). I just downloaded the "Safetran Crossing" pack from Jointed Rail and I am confused about how these are supposed to work. Typically, I use...

Frankly, this is a minor nuisance, but if any of you know how to fix it (or tell me what I'm doing wrong), that would be great! Anytime I idle a locomotive, boiler pressure will drop drastically. I will run the locomotive, park it somewhere, turn on the blower (usually 2 clicks, though I've...

I like to do a lot of dabbling in the surveyor (nothing DLS worthy) and since I live in a mountainous area, I would like to make a route with some good hills and mountains to wind its way through and work its way up some decent grades. I know how to make hills, adjust the sensitivity and...

I'm trying to reskin Ben Neal's 4-6-0h as Texas & Pacific #316. I edited the .tga files how I wanted them (I used paint.net), committed the asset, and now I get this error: Error: The texture 'blw_tw_body/blw282.tga' failed to load. Error: The texture 'blw_tw_body/number.tga' failed to load...

I have downloaded srr89's Norfolk & Western 4-8-0s (all versions) and I keep having the same issues with all of them that I can't figure out how to fix. 1) The drivers spin as though the locomotive is being held up in the air. I'll be moving at 5mph and the wheels will be spinning like I'm...

Out of curiosity, does anyone know if there are any heavy 2-8-0's available for download anywhere? I'm looking for something along the lines of this: http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t66/BCR2014/USArmy2-8-0No612_21963-unknown.jpg Thank you in advance!

I've been dabbling in the land of reskinning for my own amusement. My latest effort has been an N&W G-1 (2-8-0), based on the one currently on display at the Virginia Museum of Transportation. The loco works fine, but I'm using Ben Neal's Class J 606 tender (the 4-4-2, not the streamlined...

I've been trying to drive Ben Neal's Light Baldwin 2-8-2 (reskinned as a VGN MA class by cincysouthernrwy, though I don't believe any of the dependencies were changed, so I wouldn't think that would matter) and I am having a miserable time keeping the boiler pressure up. I've had this issue...

I had never tried reskinning a loco before, so I decided to read the tutorial and give it a shot. I did a reskin of Ben Neal's USRA 0-8-0 as a Virginian SB Class. The tender came out fine. The locomotive...I don't know what happened. All I did was change the numbers and their colors, but...

I'm trying to find a decent cab for the M&Pa 2-8-0 made by Ted Thompson (which I believe is a reskin of some work by Ben Neal). It defaults to the Bigsteam Interior Mechanism, which seems too big for the locomotive. I would love to use Ben Neal's shortline cab, but the automatic fireman that...

I know I've already posted about this very recently and Kieran (captainkman) has been very helpful, but I'm afraid my problem remains unsolved [insert long string of expletives here]. I followed the tutorial on how to do this. I used a recording of a Virginian 3 chime on a Cass Shay (I forget...

I read the tutorial on how to make your own whistles in Trainz (I'm using 2010) and made one from a recording I took while at Cass. The whistle I created works fine if I'm in the cab of the loco I'm operating, but complete silence when I leave. Also, the bell does not work at all. The...

Boy, do I seem to have this problem a lot... I downloaded the Great Northern E-15 4-6-0 #477 and it is missing one dependency: 438995:1306. I know it is a horn sound since I looked it up in the editor. However, I have no idea how to replace it with a different one (I tried what I thought...

I've tried downloading a few locomotives from the Download Station. Some work great, others don't. Those that don't say there is a "Missing Dependency," which is always one item that is no longer available on the Download Station. I've tried googling the files to see if they were posted...

I own Trainz 2010: Engineer Edition and was driving the Great Northern 4-4-0 and I had the screen set to be inside the cab. I hit a button that had me looking out the fireman's window. I could not figure out how to exit this (let alone switch to the engineer's side). Every time I would hit...
