Got my new PC rig up and running for about 1 week now, despite still being busy with work, I've made some time to tinker with my settings on TRS22 I'm pleased to say I can run TRS22 at fairly high settings now on larger routes at a much smoother framerate than my laptop (yes, even dearnbyshire -...

Perhaps... I recall how Jeremy mentioned his dad built a house near the railway line to hear the trains go past, only for BR to shut the railway down shortly after it was finished. And because the irl Chipping Norton isn't near a railway line in at least a 5–10-mile radius, I thought I'd have a...

Some screenshots from the first few "Test Run" sessions around the first of 8 new stations on the Armadale Extension of my F&WVJR St.Ives Route: "Diddly Squat" (Later Diddly Road) a small halt station that was in operation between 1901-1935. Built on the cheap with the bare basics (wooden...

Testing out the tweaked evening lighting on Flockton Diorama.

Some screenshots while playtesting my Ellesville Junction route from last week. A H Class 4-4-4 passes through Ellesville South Signal Box adjacent to the FWVJR's main workshops at Ellesville on an up peak-hour suburban train. Ex-Met "A Tank" Number 55 seen shunting in the station yard now...

Now that most of the kinks have hopefully been ironed out on my latest version of F&WVJR - St.Ives, I decided to sit down the other night and run some trains down the line for a change, particularly to run in Barney's new Grouping era Flatbeds. The following screenshots show K tank No.617 on a...

Some screenshots from both my "F&WVJR Flockton Diorama V1.0" and "F&WVJR St.Ives V1.1.1" Routes during playtesting. I've managed to get Flockton up and running with the signal boxes rule, albeit a little bit complex with the two Signal boxes controlling Flockton Town terminus as FTA and FTB do...

Glad they're doing a working condition 9F, gives us a bit more room to work with on BR era routes. I do wonder whether they'll simply have that Jinty in LMS/BR Black or whether they'll include 16440 in MR Red as like a Preservation livery like the one made for TC3? I've got a real old Hornby...

Update: Good news and bad news: I'm very pleased to say that the turntables I had issues with in SP3 and SP4 are now mostly fixed! Bad news is just like everyone else, I've got the incompatible spline issue like others are experiencing apart from the built-in track assets... Yep, we're in for a...

Well, what an update! Seems like Trainz decided it was gonna do an update on steam in the background while I was off playing Farm Sim the other night, at least that's what my assumption is because yesterday upon hearing about the update I loaded up TRS22PE and found it had jumped from Build...

The past few weeks over Christmas saw me stepping up to the plate on a new challenge: I previously managed to get the PLL Gravity fed colliery screens working in the form of "Erinvale Colliery" on my long-term W.I.P Ellesville Junction route, so I thought I'd have a go at setting up some other...

Some screenshots from when I made a start on the next update of my (fictional) Flockton & Westbridge Valley Joint Railway St.Ives Route: One of the first things I wanted to do in this next update V1.2 was make the track work around the station area much easier operationally, this included...

Must be close to Ellesville Market Day on my fictional Flockton and Westbridge Valley St.Ives Route, as Ex-Met A Class tank No.11 takes some wagons to Danglish to be loaded with Wheat sacks, Wool and livestock. It's very rare that dedicated trains run to Danglish, as the only time a dedicated...

It's the same old Turntable Issue I've been experiencing for a while now. Happens to Canal Locks as well.

I have experienced this same issue, multiple times. It can get extremely annoying, especially when I just want to have an enjoyable evening shunting in a yard on one of my routes, expect for example, a down goods from the north portal to enter the yard, only to find a random assortment of...
