Also, you can add more track choices to TransDem. Look up your favorite track in Content Manager. Write down the kuid and the track name. The next time you're exporting a route, use the dialog that asks you if you're exporting track, roads, water or auxiliary splines. Set it to track and add...

Thanks for the heads up. I see it was written by a Matthias Forney. Did he develop the Forney locos? I guess I ought to read it and ask later.

Looks to me like it's a Thomas the Tank Engine asset for some Sodor object. Those assets aren't on the Trainz download station. Don't know where you can find them other than from the original distributor. Good luck.

You can't download directly from a 3rd party website into Trainz. You have to download the CPD file from a website to a folder on your computer. Trainz does not care where that folder is located. Then run the Trainz launcher. Select the Manage Content button. When the content manager is...

I don't use Chrome, but just for grins, does your Windows operating system show a Downloads folder on your computer? if it is there, are the files you recently downloaded from websites in that folder? If not, you'll have to get Chrome to tell you where it is putting downloads. Maybe ctrl-j in...

I don't have that on my system either. I did visit the rrmods website and found the following notice at the bottom of that locomotive's page. Please ensure you install the latest RRMods script/sound library installed after purchase. Did you by any chance download that script/sound library?

I don't have TRS22, but in the cases where it only offers saving a session, I believe that all of your current alterations have happened in the session layer. You'll need to check which layer the changes you've made are in and use the "?" tool on track and turnouts to set them into the route...

I finally found the route I mentioned earlier. It wasn't on the DLS. It was a free download from socalwb909's (Joe Maguire's?) weebly website. The route is called "Cajon (SoCal) Subdivisions" and there are a couple of threads in the forum about it...

Using S1 I've seen the vertex circles, but nothing between them most often when the splines are below the terrain. This happens often to me when using JOSM with Transdem as a source for splines. Sometimes you can use the clear height tool to bring them to the surface. But clicking on the actual...

@davoss Thanks for the curved track spacing charts. I often wondered what spacing to use on curves.

See if your version of Trainz includes a tutorial on driving steam locomotives. That should help. As Peter says on steam locos that slider controls the rate that coal is added to the firebox. I'm terrible at driving steam locos, but have been trying to learn after buying K&L's 2-6-6-0 for Coal...

No real trick, except the trailers designed to load on the other end are specifically designed for that. Likewise for containers designed to load on top of lower containers. As far as I've seen such assets are usually included with the railcar as dependencies.

That's such sad news. My sincere condolences to his family and friends. I really enjoyed what he shared with us.

I was having trouble coming up with "spline" too. John's/Rob's method worked great for me when I finally got around to it. Thanks! Also, Transdem will let you add track assets to its list. Go into the Trainz Content Manager to get the name and kuid of the track you want to add. Then go back to...

pware is right. On the T:ANE launcher, select ... Trainz Settings > Internet That will display a dialog asking for your username and password.
