    looking for steam engine class for trs19

    Haven't found models of the LBSC J locos, but there are quite a few LBSC locos and wagons at: https://jatws.org/gallery/lbscr/ I don't have any experience with this website.

    Can you convert height units to something usable?

    The 50 inches or 1.27 meters is a real world measurement. No need to convert it to 1/87 HO height. The fun starts when you calculate different heights on the layout. Say a hill is measured as 57" high from the floor. You can divide 57 by 39.37 to convert inches to meters. You end up just short...

    TRAIN 2022

    I remember asking the same question when I bought 19. Although I think I used a few more words to describe what I was asking about. I don't have 22, but in 19 when creating or editing a session, you need to add the "Startup Options" rule to your session rules to get the clock in the upper right...

    terrain smoothing tool

    Sometimes I'll use a 25m piece of fixed track at the top and bottom with regular track between them to try to fill between an upper track and a lower track. It's a little bit fussy, but makes nicer curves in the hillside.

    Keyboard function keys not working in Trainz

    Glad you discovered the problem. I frequently hit caps lock and make no progress until unlocking. 🙃

    terrain smoothing tool

    @wreeder Thanks for mentioning the slider and that you use larger files. I will say that it was much easier to drag the selection tool across multiple baseboards in 19 than it was in 06.

    terrain smoothing tool

    By default in-game terrain maps, do you mean displacement maps? I experimented with those after first reading this thread. I'm using TS19, not certain what you are using. I've never found the displacement maps very useful. Years ago a 256x256 image may have been an advancement, but it is...

    Can someone with TransDEM shift a DEM for me?

    Roland didn't remove anything from Transdem. N3V changed how routes are encoded into files in TANEsp2 and later versions. Roland does not have access to the new file format. (Transdem still exports in a format compatible to TANEsp1 and older versions, which are still readable by newer versions...

    debugging tracks in a new TransDEM route

    Ah Indeed. I did specify the wrong file. Sorry. The filename has been edited in my earlier post.

    debugging tracks in a new TransDEM route

    Edited to name the correct file. Sorry folks! Perhaps installation procedures have changed with the newest version? But in my version GDAL had to be installed to translate topo pdfs, trainz mesh importer, the Transdem map colors need to be installed inTrainz. It's in the Transdem for Trainz...

    debugging tracks in a new TransDEM route

    If anyone is setting up Transdem, be certain to use the provided Trainz version of the documentation. The other docs don't mention the other support programs that need to be installed, GDAL for instance and a few other steps.

    Can someone with TransDEM shift a DEM for me?

    I'm not certain that Transdem can read HOG files. Has anyone tried that?

    Indecision , indecision !

    It is frustrating when you can't get enough info or views to build a duplicate. I guess one could spend some time looking, but if nothing is found, then just guess about the other sides of a structure. You could even note in its config file that your sources did not include views of certain...

    Were older versions of Trainz better than the modern versions?

    If I need to hand build a yard, I prefer to use TS12 as it handles fixed track pieces better than any later version of Trainz. (The fixed track pieces get replaced with regular track when finished.) I also frequently get nostalgic about old routes and old content. If I want to run Canadian...
