I have not been very active in Trainz lately, but did install it on my new laptop recently. Being a bit of a perfectionist, the lack of proper terrain in TRS19 (and previous versions) is what made me lose interest in a created route very quickly. Now if this HD terrain works as good as it...

Hoboken Manufacturers Railroad locomotive No. 700, delivered in 1947, is the only surviving engine from the Hoboken rail line. It has been preserved and could be on public display this spring...

Clearfield County, PA - Circa 1910 Back in July 2013, I successfully created an 1800+ baseboard layout in TransDEM of parts of Clearfield County, Pennsylvania. It included a crude generic track line so I could orient myself once in Surveyor. My ancestors lived in that locality and I was...

Hi. Is there any way to deactivate the "walk camera" in Surveyor (TRS19)? I'm constantly zooming in too fast in Surveyor that this "walk camera" keeps being activated and I have to zoom out again fast to get out of it. :( Thanks. Andrew

I just snapped this pic today on the old Trenton Industrial Track, Ewing, New Jersey. There's quite a lot going on here. I apologize for the discarded WaWa coffee cup (in between the rails). It's not mine. The misspelling of the word "axle" on the sign. An "axel" is a figure skating move...

A fun short little minute and a half video on two European rail tidbits. From the description: "At Port Madoc in North Wales we see men riding down a hill on their way home from a quarry on little metal bars with three wheels. They sit on the bars that run over the inner quarry truck tracks...

:wave: Here's quick 4 minute video that I don't think has been posted here before. From Feb 2, 2017. The New York Jersey Rail Car Float Operation from NYC to New Jersey Enjoy!

In Flemington, New Jersey. (Video by Andre Malok | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com) It's been a few years since I've been there. I'll have to check it out again this year. :) Andrew

NJ.com seems to be favoring railroad related articles lately. Here's one on the abandoned Paulinskill Viaduct, Columbia, NJ, USA (use the bolded text for a Google Earth search). Article Here The article has a few nice photos both past and present.

Hi. I've just noticed that the ARN doesn't seem to be working on the <kuid:109664:100716> P&B 100 Ton Hopper: (Click to Enlarge) Every hopper I place has number 111111, but the surveyor properties say it should be different for each one. The screen shot is from driver. I have TRS2019 build...

In a Nutshell I'll explain the Searchlight Signal 06 LD. The 04 is probably very similar, but only used for protecting track blocks ahead with no diverging paths. The "LD" stands for left diverge. That means that there is a switch ahead that diverges to the left. In essence, the upper head of...

YouTube threw this video at me this morning and I thought it was appropriate for Trainz: It is by the Dutch band "Shocking Blue" from 1970. :) Enjoy! Andrew

TANE or TRS19? Tony, Just a minor quirk that may be confusing to some users: In the Windows Programs and Features list (Uninstall or change a program), it seems that TRS2019 is still labeled "TANE" in some obscure area of the code. Was that intentional? I'm using Windows 10 and TRS19 build...
