I created the NC&StL 576 for Trainz a few years ago and wanted to update everyone on the prototype. I'm a member of the group restoring the locomotive and we've spent this past week getting it loaded up for relocation out of Centennial Park in Nashville. We have been working on it for two years...

Most of you are probably not aware of the 576 that I created for Trainz; however, just wanted to say that the 576 will be rolling again. It's currently located in Centennial Park in Nashville, Tn where it's been resting since 1953. It was only 11 years old when it was parked there. I have...

I haven't been around in awhile and I'm sure that most don't remember me, but just wanted to pop in and say hello to all of my ole buds. Hope that all is going well with everyone. Mike

Hi all It's been quite a while since I've posted here. The reasons aren't important. What is important is that I wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year and hope that 2015 will be good to all of you, especially to all of my old friends that might still be around. From your old steam builder...

We probably all have our first remembrances of trains. For me, it’s pretty easy since my grandparents lived next to Radnor Yard in Nashville. I was just a tyke in the 1950’s, but some of my fondest memories were visiting my grandparents every Sunday. Of course, all of the kids were outside...

Why do we do it? Why do we subject ourselves to the risk of critisism over our creations? After reading some of the critisism of some creations offered freely by some our our members, I wonder, why do we do it. We could, afterall, create for ourselves and never share with anyone, but there...

I've often wondered where my love of trains originated. Are we born with it or did some interaction when we were young and developing the mush in our heads create it. So, I'm going to ramble a little with no distinct answer to the question. When I was born, my maternal grandparents lived in a...

Looking at all of the nightmode buildings that Ed has put up on the DLS has inspired me once more. I'm planning on upgrading some of my existing content to include a nightmode and build some more stuff that strikes my fancy. Here's a couple of screenshots of my Starview Motel, one during...

AJ Fox started an interesting little thread asking about 'longest train trips'. I thought I'd start one on the number of different countries that you've experienced train travel. I'll start it out. United States Japan Taiwan Nicaraqua Hong Kong

If I've missed another thread regarding this subject, I apologize. It's no secret that I haven't been too pleased with the progress of Trainz lately, but I am really pleased with the new station list beside our usernames in posts that shows which versions of trainz that we have registered...

Maybe I've missed it somewhere in all of the discussions about the DLS and access to it without a supported version of Trainz or a FCT. I'm sorry if it's been discussed and I haven't seen it. Will access to the fourm be impacted if a member doesn't have a supported version? Mike

It appears that the new Auran servers have been a great success. At least they have where I'm concerned. I've been upgrading my content to build 2.9 and in the last 2 days, I've uploaded 300+ items to the DLS very and over 250 of them are already on the DLS. I've uploaded quite a bit today and...

Some of you have been waiting for my extension to the Cresent Mtn Division. I'm very close to uploading one of the extensions which will be called the AC - Spartan Division. It is a 27 mile extension at the east end of the Cresent Mtn Division and is mainly a mountain coal hauling route with...

Here's a screenshot of a new station that I'm working on. Any comments are appreciated. Mike
