Hello @ricomon35, I am making progress on my ITF facility and was looking again at your pics above. Hope you could point me to some assets. I have look high and low for these: 1) I have not been able to find empty container trailers and see from your pics you have them in multiple colors. Where...

Wow! What memories. Grew up in New Castle went to college in Youngstown. Relatives in Greenville, Meadville, & Sharon. Grandfather & Uncle worked for the P&LE RR. Did you include the Bessemer Yard in your route? Fantastic job! Thanks for sharing.

Welcome back John! How did your music interlude go? I voted and also suggested incorporating TransDem for those who model prototypical routes.

I recently went through this decision making process of where to store Trainz files. I have two M.2 slots on my mother board. Both contain 2TB SSDs. My C: drive is where Windows 11 and all other programs are stored including Trainz TANE, TRS19, and Trainz Plus. After installing to the C: drive...

What track and ballast are you using in your route? The ballast looks pink?

@Dinorius_Redundicus, thanks for the screen shots. I gave it a try and it works! I added some steps because the ground slopes in two directions. I first placed a track parallel to each fence and set the slope/grade. Then placed splines perpendicular to the grid every skipping one grid in...

Thanks for the reply. I tried using both. The lot or ground has a 2% slope. Here's what I have tried in TRS 19 to achieve the desired sloped ground area which is 3000 ft x 500 ft. The topo tool slope doesn't provide for a gradient. And it cant be rotated to be parallel to the lot edge. I...

Are there any tips or tools for creating a large flat area like a parking lot?

I am looking for a 66 ft wide straddle crane for a prototypical ITF in Barstow Ca. I look on the DLS and most straddle cranes are wide enough for one train track and one lane for the container semi-trailer. The ITF at Barstow, CA is double track with two tracks in the middle and one lane for...

Good luck with your project John. And thanks for all your support. You will be missed.

@ricomon35 Nice work! I can see you put a lot of thoughtful planning into the IFTs. What did you use as a go-by to create them?

My prototypical route has several ITFs. These are large facilities with multiple tracks that are just under a mile in length. The rolling stock at these facilities are well cars that are loaded and unloaded using straddle cranes. I am not sure how the operations work. I have see empty trailers...

Yes it does. Thanks

Thank you for your tutorial contributions. They help Trainzers get to the next level of Trainzing!

Due to a OS crash I had to reinstall all my Trainz executable files for TRS19 Platinum and Trains Plus. On the Product Downloads page this message appears for TRS19 Platinum: "DOWNLOAD TRS19 PLEASE NOTE These downloads are applicable to all regional versions of TRS19, including the TRS19 World...
