All, Just curious if anyone has any TRS19 Environmental settings that you especially like, or that you think look dramatic / unique? I know they can make a world of difference, and it can take quite a bit of tweaking to get them right. Best, Ron

Hi, all. If I wanted to import / run a couple of my TANE routes in TRS19 - what tips and cautions can you experienced users give me? Both platforms are running SP4. Thanks much! Ron

Messed up TransDem UTM tiles - help? Hi, all. I went into TransDem tonight, and made a fairly small area of track and topography for the Reading and Northern RR - between where the current route stops on the southern end, down to the northern part of the city of Reading. This will allow...

All, This may be the wrong forum , but I'm wondering if it's possible to use locomotives as Stationary scenery objects? I've tried before, but they are all "live" and often start moving in Driver mode. There has to be a way, right? Thanks for any tips. Ron

All, Is anyone aware of instructions anywhere for creating changeable name signs? I'm thinking primarily for hanging / mounted station boards. I have downloaded a couple, and they would do in a pinch. But being a little OCD, I wanted to create my own. :-) Any tips are much appreciated. Ron

Hello. Long story short - I ended up in 2020 with two accounts / two ID numbers; and hence two different kuids assigned when I created content - some older, some newer. I asked the helpdesk to combine my email and Trainz version signatures into this user profile. (This was the older account...

Hi, all. It's a bit premature, but I was wondering if it possible to have an AI freight consist travel a closed loop, basically forever when in a driving session? I have a PennCentral mainline crossing over the Bethlehem Branch, and I'd like to set up a freight train to cross back and forth...

All, This may be the wrong forum, but can anyone point me to some instructions for creating a spline? I've done buildings, and I've reskinned a spline. But I'd like to make one from scratch, and my experiments have not worked so far. Thanks in advance! Ron

Hey, folks. I was using TransDEM to generate the southern and northern extensions of my Bethlehem Branch route, and I am baffled by something. The southern extension section is in TANE, and shows up fine. All good. I think I did the exact same procedure (I thought I did) for the northern...

This is an old block signal (at least, that's what I think it is) on a local Reading Company line. Can anyone verify it's technical type / name? I am trying to find one I can download, and so far the closest one is from the PRR. Thanks in advance! [/URL]Old RDG Signal by Ron Alderfer, on...

Hi. As most of you know, a very small creek or stream hardly ever has any visible water. It's usually just a line of mud and rocks with a lot of undergrowth and small trees, etc. That's what I would like to find in a spline form; so that I can mark the trails of these creeks and streams on the...

Hello Trainz fans. Well, I've done it now - I have started an ambitious (for me) custom route. I have decided to recreate the Reading Company's Bethlehem Branch, in southeastern PA; c 1972. I am starting with the central portion of the line - approx 20-25 miles from Gwynedd, PA to slightly...

Hello, all. I have just started modeling a defunct mainline in eastern PA. There are still a few old signals standing along the route, but before I can recreate this route as it was in its operating days, I need to understand blocks and signals, and whatever other things go along with them. (I...

Hi, all. I have a commuter mainline running through a portion of my layout. I have portals at each end to spawn and consume a consist every 15 mins. How much do I need to do as far as speed limits, signalling, or similar concerns? This is my first attempt at doing something like this. YouTube...

Just a quick question, which I'm sure affects most of us here - what suggestions does anyone have for keeping track of assets? (or organizing them) When you get a few thousand items, and many of them have weird names, a simple search doesn't always find them in game. I often have to jump out...
