A couple of weeks ago I drove several times along US route 6 between Arapahoe and Cambridge, Nebraska. A BNSF line parallels the highway within a 100 ft or so for much of the 15-mile distance. I saw 2 BNSF trains with cabooses at the end of their consists. Both looked newly painted. One had...

What causes route files to be read only, and how do you unlock them? Working in TRS 2006 I've been trying to merge 3 routes. Merged the first 2 and all went well. Merged the third to the new map and the new 3-part map became a read-only file. Now, if I so much as change a trackmark, I have to...

Hi: How are these commands and rules best used? (TRS 2006, SP 1) The driver commands list contains 4 junction commands - Set, Release, Free, and ...? Can't remember. There are 2 junction rules - Set and Multiple Junction Check. None of the commands are described. Set Junction driver...

Hi all: Does anyone know what causes a Stop Train order to be issued by the simulator while an AI engineer is running his train? The situation: A long lead serves several industries, including a coal mine (1st turnout) and a refinery (2nd and 3rd turnouts). An incoming mixed consist is...

How to use helper (pusher) engines? In another thread, http://forums.auran.com/trainz/showthread.php?t=10683 , on AI Engineering, we have discussed adding a subconsist to the rear of a train. Basically, we figured out that either you have to uncouple and send the road engine off scene, or you...

I've put together a yard switching session for the Tidewater Point Rail map that comes with TRS 2006, SP 1. It works pretty well - one problem, though, and that will be another topic. The present problem is that when I change the length of a consist, an AI driver can't get the switches set...

TRS 2006, SP 1 -- Earlier today, I downloaded 2 or 3 rules, committed them, and they were immediately available in Surveyor. This evening, I downloaded 2 more rules from the DLS - InputTable and MoveTurntable. But they do not appear in Surveyor. I can search them out in CMP, and they appear...

I can't find any discussion on these session-writing issues. Am I the only one having problems? I'm using just 3 trains in a small layout that came with TRS 2006 - Industrial Wasteland. A single AI train runs fine. Two or more can interfere with each other, and I don't mean in conjunction with...
