I was reading some of the tutorials from Chuck Brite (2008) regarding the importance of track direction and AI trains. As a result I started to check and re-lay track for my (over-inspired) Miami FEC route to ensure the double track routes were all pointing in the correct direction. I noticed a...

Old newbie back, and still a newbie: I've got a through West bound trainz that cannot clear the signal at S 13S. It just keeps oscillating between S 13S and Revelstoke Yard. Is there a way to clear this signal? There are no other locos coming in on this track. Thanks in advance!

Hi All; Could someone help me out with vertical scale? Reading up on dubious sites I've discovered the required vertical clearance for railcar tracks is somewhere between 20-22 feet. So what I've been doing is getting the ground elevation and adding 20' to the clearance vertex elevation to net...

Hi All, I am attempting to lay track next to a water channel in a Miami Florida layout. There are sections where the rails parallel a 20' wide channel. Due to the close proximity of the rails to the channel whenever I attempt to lower the elevation to create the channel it screws up the track...

I came across ExTrainz V1 from a download of the Cattaugus Creek Lake Erie route, great script! Found it very useful (read that as fully functional) with in that route. I then attempted to add it to the Gloucester Terminal Railroad route and found some issues. Specifically, ExTrainz would...

I’ve been doing a lot of studying on signaling and have come across a number of very helpful pages. Chuck Brite’s tutorial at http://trains.0catch.com/Tut4-IntroToSignaling.htm has been very helpful. Also, While attempting to get information on the differences between 01 – 08 signals I came...

When running AI trains I am constantly getting trains that stop in the middle of the command line instructions and the driver is indicating an exclamation point. When I right-click on the loco or any other car there is no explanation on why the consist stopped, just the exclamation point on the...

Hi All; I am attempting to add a side track to an existing route and having difficulties I cannot find answers for in the documentation. The objective is to add a mining operation to the Gloucester Terminal Railroad route to feed the power plant. The challenge I have is I cannot get the consist...
