Has anyone using Trainz 06, 09, or 10 upgraded to Windows 10? If so, were there any problems running Trainz? Were there any problems. If you solved them, how did you do it? Thanks. Art

Hi, I've been away from TRS for a while, and I can't remember how to create a string of trackmarks, then name and save the list as a named route that can be loaded for any train. I've looked through the big stack of notes that I compiled when I was actively using TRS06, but didn't find...

There was an interesting item in Trains magazine, www.trainsmag.com, (last year, I think) describing how distributing locos throughout a long train results in better performance around turns than having all the power up front because it reduces friction between the flange of the wheel inside...

I signed up on the Trainz Pro Routes (TPR) website a few days agao, and started a thread, asking if there's a tutorial describing how to download routes from that site. Is anyone here downloading those routes? If so, is there a good tutorial that will answer the above question? In addition, I...

I read Model Railroader magazine every month (truthfully, I just look at the pictures). I'm always amazed at the craftsmanship shown in every photo. Particularly impressive is how real layouts look because their components have been "weathered" by applying rust, grease, and grime effects...

I installed TRS2010 a few days ago, and I have a question about Download Manager. When I use the Search section, there are no choices when I try to use the pull-down menus under the Categories, Region/Country, and Time Period headings. I've been running TRS2006 for years, and are numerous...

Has anyone come up with a rule that allows a trigger to position a switch? Thanks for your help. Art

Hello all, Some time ago, I added a passing siding to the Great Falls leg of my modified Marias Pass Approach route. By some dumb luck, given the problems I've read about in many threads about signalling passing sidings, mine works every time with 02 and L02 signals at the converging and...

Hello, Is there a way to apply speeds to a specific consist between, say, trackmarks, without affecting the speeds of other consists in TRS2006? Thanks for your help. Art

In TRS2006, I highlighted some new assets I downloaded, then hit Ctrl-M to commit them. But when I start Trainz, I get the "some assets have not be committed" message. How do I find out which assets have not been committed? Thanks for your help. Art

Is it possible to open an asset, such as a steam loco tender, in Photoshop Elements, paint over the current road name, and enter a new one? If so, I'd appreciate your guidance how. Thanks. Art

Did I refer to you as Bob a few days ago? If I did, I apologize. Art

Change Properties screens background and type color? In Surveyor in my TRS2009 system, when I open any of the Edit Session categories, the Properties screens have a dark blue background and thin black type, making them unreadable. How do I change the colors? Someone responded when I asked this...

In TRS 2006, is there a way to shut down individual diesel engines so there's no engine noise? If so, can that action be saved so the engines that have been shut down are still quiet when the program is reopened? Thanks for your help. Art
