When using helper engines farther back in the consist, do they need to have AI drivers to actually be functioning (helping), or are they just dead weight? And...can using helper engines cause strange behavior when using AI commands?

Just a quick question...when using the coupler strain HUD, what do the numbers represent? Also, what do the colors represent? (green, yellow, red). Is there any other HUD I should be using in conjunction with this one and what, if any, options are there other than to turn it on or off? I...

I let my FCT expire about 8 months ago. Now I just purchased one for 90 days again and have activated it...yet it does not show it in my CMP and the DL speeds are still slow. Is there anything else I need to do to make it work or does it take a day or so?

For those here that have already ordered and received their copy of 2009, how long did it take? I ordered mine about a month ago using paypal and the transaction went through fine. Where are they shipped from? I live in the Chicago area.

I have been away from the forum for a long time now so I basicly had to re-learn how to use it. Since I purchased TRS2006 about 3 yrs ago, I have had many difficulties with the program and the CM in particular. I must have erased and reinstalled TRS2006 over 20 times total and the CM has only...

Hello, my TRS2006 screwed up again (as it often does) and I feel I will be reinstalling it again. Not sure what causes the problem but the first screen pops up where you can select 1)Start 2)Manage Content 3)Options and so on. If I select Start it takes only a few seconds before my task...

Today I was looking through some of the routes on the DLS and came across one of my old home town area (Merrill, WI). In the description it says it was created using the Hog Utility. What is this and how does it work? It also states I will need Hog textures installed to see the lines in...

Just a few quick questions for anyone who may be bored. I have TRS2006 with the update. >As I download content I notice some buildings are offered "normal" and "low-res". If I place both on my route I cannot tell the difference at all. Are the low-resolution buildings and other content...

Hi, does anyone know where I could find some 24" NG logging skeleton cars (loadable). I have plenty of 36" and would hate to have to use them. I have looked over the DLS and couldn't find any and also visited SlugSmasher's site but nothing (unless I'm overlooking something) It does not matter...

Thanks to those who helped me remember how to renew my FCT. It seems everything is in full swing again...well almost. I have been trying for days to download from the DS using my content manager. Everytime I hit start it takes a few seconds then I get the buzzer and a message saying "Unable...

Hi everyone, I have been away for awhile and need to get re-oriented with the download station and content manager, so... I have a couple of questions for anyone with a couple of minutes. 1. I forgot where to go to get another first class ticket (mine expired I think, it was only for 90 days)...

Several questions I have about merging layouts perhaps some of you here could answer for me... - after merging a route I notice some of the ground textures have disappeared, not on the first route but the route that I added. anyone know why that is? - after merging a route all of the tracks...

All the links I click on from this forum are dead ends because it says I don't have access. Is there a specific site I can go to find it. Many post here talk about it but I have yet to actually see it. I have read about how important it is to install it correctly and and how it needs a fresh...

I have been having problems with my TRS2006. Even after completly reinstalling windows XP and starting totally freash the program begins to have problems running. The diagnostics program always finds nothing wrong. I only DL content from the download station. Problems are: - CMP freezes up and...
