In the Covid ridden UK most if not all model railway exhibitions are cancelled this year for obvious reasons. Quite a few organisers have decided to stage 'virtual exhibitions' instead, using photos and videos of layouts that should have appeared in the real show(s). It occured to me that...

Some of you may find this link interesting... http://www.railway-technical.com/glossary/us-uk-terminology.html

What seems like a long long time ago I asked about the possibility of optional smaller baseboard sizes to facilitate (among other things) model railway style layouts. IIRC Chris B commented on the thread to say that there was no performance benefit in smaller baseboards and thus just use a...

I did of course mean "Switches" AKA "Points". Worth a look https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZuR5QTlfOzk

Mostly of interest to those who follow British Rail practice, if you have no idea what TOPS is then have a look at this old video (20mins): https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=MKRpC1lcoDk (Note: TOPS was originally developed by the Southern Pacific.)

A happy New Year to all Trainzers, and "lets be careful out there" (tonight) ! Brew crew, since you have already had your New Year at the time of posting, I hope you got home safe and the hangover is not too bad ! Cheers Chris

A joint thread by Klambert and Itareus. We have both been thinking about the idea of a UK themed iportal group for a while now, sort of a "virtual model railway club layout" where each participant has their own part of a route, receives and dispatches trains and does local work in his/her...

My current Trainz machine was originally bought for business use and as such it has a low spec graphics card (ATI Radeon 3450 256mb DDR2). Running TS2009 (Build 38411) I'm getting reasonable frame rates (15-25 fps) but would like to boost this a bit with a better graphics card. The trouble is...

Since the recent changes to the forum pages I have noticed that the bold font indicating new posts clears after about 30 minutes even though I am still logged in (prior to the changes the bold font persisted for a long time). Also selecting "New Posts" after looking through my "Subscribed...

Hi, I'm posting this information in the hope that it might save somebody else a problem in the future.... Last night I was working on building a route when Trainz suddenly shut down without warning and with no error. It transpired that Windows had downloaded an automatic update to the OS...
