After two years of messing about with Rail Simulator I am toying with the idea of returning to Trainz. I have not been happy with the gameplay of RS and I missed the interaction that TRS provides. It seems to me that RS is just about trains while Trainz is about creating worlds. So I am going to...

Hello Michael, I downloaded your Blackpool 167 today and it really is a fantastic little tram. I also used the trolley pole with it, and spent ages re-aligning my overhead so that the pole runs along it neatly. The problem occurs when I drive the tram in Driver: after a few yards the pole...

No, it's not the name of a spy novel or a weekend TV show, it's my first ever attempt at building a route for upload to the DLS. Except this is not a route, it is a 4-board module. So if you ever needed a 4-board-shaped hole to fill in your route, Kelston Park could be just what you require...

Ever wanted to delete multiple files in Content Manager but are annoyed by the list shifting back to the top of the page everytime you delete an individual file? Here's a way round: 1. Create a new group and then assign the files you want deleted to it by right clicking on each file and...

Just thought I would let you guys know of the new comp down in the Aurania Thread in case you missed it: TRAINZ AND THE CITY Aurania Competition no. 2 In this competition, each entrant is required to build a one-board city complete with through station. Building even a one-board city can be...

I have been on the S.T.E.A.M site recently and found some excellent little locos which would be perfect for a route I am planning. The only problem is, I can't find the track for them to run on. Does anyone know where I can download 760mm track from? Thanks, Padster

Like most Trainzers, I have come to realise that I have downloaded far too much stuff and it is beginning to slow Trainz down. So, I am thinking of doing a complete re-install and starting all over again, because I am going to attempt my first ever route upload to the DLS (yes, I know its odd...

Can anyone point me in the right direction for window boxes and hanging baskets for Trainz? I am trying to pretty up one of my stations with flowers and stuff. Also, I kinda like aluminium-bodied railcars, such as the Budd railcar or those that can be seen in Portugal with those diagonal red...

Just to remind you guys one last time that there is now a screenshot competition open. We have one entrant at the moment, so, to give him a fight and stop him winning by default, post your entries ASAP. Check out the info: TRAINZ HAS TALENT!! Aurania Competition no. 1 Here's the story...

Just thought I would remind you guys in case anyone forgot that there is a competition now open on the Aurania Thread in the Screenshots forum. Winner gets a prize! Entries currently being accepted. Here are the rules: TRAINZ HAS TALENT!! Aurania Competition no. 1 In an attempt to make the...

TRAINZ HAS TALENT!! Aurania Competition no. 1 In an attempt to make the Aurania thread a little different, I am going to introduce competitions into the mix, with the added bonus of a prize! Here's the story: Auranian State Railways recently acquired two old F7 units from the United States...

For some unknown reason, the original Aurania thread has vanished (perhaps our great and beloved national anthem did not find favour with some). So, I will have another go at uploading some screenies. Here then are todays selection, which is a visit to Aurania's main locomotive shed at Pinao...

I had a thread in the Screenshots forum entitled 'The Aurania Thread'. It has completely disappeared and I would like to know what has happened to it as it takes quite a lot of work to upload screenies and quite a lot of my time too. Best wishes, Padster

The Aurania Thread Hello everyone. Aurania is my fictitious Trainz route. It has evolved from my earlier attempts at route building, and since I have a fertile imagination, here is a little 'gen' on the railway: The story so far... After years of civil unrest and governments in exile, the...
