I'm a big admirer of the worn out track on the Fillmore County route by the switchback, and it appears they use a combination of TSM Ballast SK6 plus the track to get the correct "look", but I'm struggling to get the ballast (TSM Ballast SK6)'s height to be just below the height of the ties of...

That helped a great deal, thank you!!!

I installed a copy of the Needles layout off the DLS into my Trainz 22 PE and (hooray!) all the switches work, but I'm getting what I think is called Z-flashing as trains pass through the scenery - the scenery, trains, etc. flash little black triangles at times. This doesn't happen on other...

I was able to download some nice NYC trains including Budd cars from Trainz Forge - thanks! I really wish someone (even payware) would create a "jointed rail quality" Budd train for the various Zephyrs or other early (or even early Amtrak) Budd trains. Perhaps someday...

Really silly question about saving sessions in process - when I have to break from the action but want to save my progress on the route, switching moves completed so far, etc. it prompts me to save as the existing session or enter a new name to save. But even if I title it "2/22/26" or...

I'm on the hunt for very nice, high quality Budd stainless steel single level car assets? I have a magnificent set of Santa Fe bi-levels (freeware), but really looking for a full single level fluted stainless steel train. Any suggestions are appreciated.

I was able to fix my F40PH and GP7/9 issues on my own once I figured out I could list the dependencies out and focus on the faulty dependencies. In the case of the F40PHs, it was a DD40X cab that was faulty - I couldn't fix or find the faulty kuid, but was able to install a DD40X off the DLS...

Hello - my JR Amtrak and CSX Club Car F40PHs as well as my CNW GP9 low hood units are faulty and showing VE48 errors (I'm using Trainz 2022 PE) - any ideas on how to fix these? I do have the latest Jointed Rail Train Effects installed, but still get the error. Thanks!

Video should be up in a few minutes of a small representation of a modular HO layout I built in Trainz 2022 but would love to build in N scale one day. Milwaukee Road theme for the video, but I enjoy running various Midwest railroads on this (and just run on the opposite side for the CNW :) ).

Sorry Randall - apparently the video wasn't "live" on youtube quite yet, seems to be watchable now.

Here's a video tour of my virtual model train layout with a Midwestern theme - the track plan is Lance Mindheim's but I've added a large (and hidden) staging yard to my version. This is a Milwaukee Road session but I also run Soo Line, CNW, CB&Q, Burlington Northern, Rock Island, etc. My...

Thank you, @JCitron !!! That was the tip I was looking for, and I now have fully working TRC signals on my entire route :).

Hello - I'm using Surveyor 2.0 and Trainz 22, thank you!

I've successfully installed these in previous routes, but now every time I go to adjust one of the crossing signals, it somehow "grabs" and adjusts ALL of the asset (the crossing signal in this case) ALL over the train layout I'm working on. Which means the other crossings end up in the wrong...

I'm seeing a loss of FPS with this update, but in case it helps someone, using Lossless Scaling (cheap frame generation app off of steam) gives me a smooth 60 FPS. Sadly, none of my 86' auto boxcars work anymore - faulty, but can't figure out exactly why.
