This is a new one for me. All the folders (some 200,000) in the Download Station of my Manage Content section of Trainz are empty. I found this out by trying to download an asset from the Download Station and nothing happened. Tried it with another asset. Nothing happened. Decided to look...

I downloaded the newly repaired H9 only to find that one of the dependencies is giving me a problem. The dependency error is kuid:523:1972918 is unknown. As a test, I deleted the dependency from the config.txt file and the locomotive downloaded and runs beautifully, except, of course, I can't...

Hi All, I guess this is the best place to put this announcement. I have started a new website entitled: gandydancer.biz, devoted to virtual railroading using Trainz Simulator. It will eventually include many screenshots, Trainz tips primarily focusing on a project I have been working on for...

I recently repaired Ben Neal's locomotives found in his website (thanks for the helpful suggestions from everyone), but my favorite steam locomotive of all times, the PRR H9 Consolidation by Bill Klene, has me stumped. When I was model railroading back before the dawn of civilization, my first...

I am curious to know how many railroad buffs know what keeps the wheels of a train on the tracks. The first answer that comes to mind, which is wrong, are the flanges. The flanges on the wheels actually are not necessary, and are only there as an insurance policy for engineers who take corners...

Hi All, Has anyone found a fix for Ben Neal's narrow gauge locomotives from Subpar Productions. Practically every one of them has the same thing wrong: the ury21_b2, which is an invisible bogie, needs its mesh repaired. It appears that the engine_black texture is missing, which is...

I know I have done this before, but I can't seem to remember how. How do I download a locomotive from Ben Neal's "Subpar Productions" into my download folder? If I click on the locomotive, I simply get a nice picture of the locomotive. If I click on the name, I get a page of programming...

As promised, more screen shots of NYNH&H (ca. 1930s) from Waterbury, CT to Winsted, CT. [/URL][/IMG]

A couple of months ago I posted a thread describing my attempts to reproduce the Waterbury to Winsted Connecticut branch of the NYNH&H as it was in the 1930s (I grew up in Torrington back then). The right-of-way begins in Waterbury and follows the Naugatuck River north through Thomaston and...

I am modeling the old NYNH&H line from Waterbury, CT to Winsted, CT as it was in the late 1930s. When I started the project, I was new to Trainz, and simply estimated distances between points from Google. Not good! Now, putting in scenery details, I've noticed that some of these distances are...

Has anyone had any success replacing vehicles in Trainz Mac? I have been trying to replace modern autos (in USA region) with 1930s era autos. Simply replacing the KUID numbers in config.txt file for the region doesn't appear to work. The 1930s autos never show. You can add them as static...

A number of us new people have tried to download Ben Neal's Baldwins only to find that some have faulty assets. Since I couldn't find the fix, I decided to try one on my own. This fix should work with all the b2 assets: con b2, dec b2, tw b2, . . .. All of these appear faulty in the Content...

Are kuids like pieces of sheet music that we can trade around? Can we make copies of them to give to other individuals? I'm asking, because, like many of you, I'm looking for (you guessed it) kuid:96914:504872 and kuid:96914:504862 that are not faulty. Don't suggest Subpar Productions. As...

Does anyone out there know how to close the firebox doors after adding coal? The computer space bar neatly opens them and adds the coal, but once they are opened, they stay opened. I don't think that would be the case on a real steam locomotive. Would appreciate any ideas. Thanks. Jim
