Several years ago there was a message thread on how to use an image of a model railroad schematic to assist in laying track in Surveyor. As I remember, the image of the the layout was put into a an image file already used by Surveyor and the image was positioned just above the surface of the...

First, I may be just having a "senior moment", but I cannot find scenery items where two roads meet at right angles or where a single side road meets a a street in a "T". I've used these scenery items in the past. The only word that comes to mind now is "intersection", but I can't find them in...

I just had to rebuild my PC from scratch and in reloading TS 2010 I found that the "default" build level is 41491. The only patches and I can find in the Auran announcements group start at build 44088. Can anyone help or do I just give up on TS 2010? Thanks, Wes

I've just reloaded my computer hard disk after a failure and am about to reload TS12 (the build when it first came out several years ago). I've had difficulty in the past with updating this software and wonder if I were to re-purchase TS12, would it come with the (currently) latest service...

I'm looking for "smallish" 1940-1950 era small town US routes without the realistic gritty, graffiti-covered, slum-area scenery. What I have in mind is something like the idealized Bedford Falls in the movie "It's a Wonderful Life". Can anyone in this forum suggest any routes like this...

I'm a bit puzzled about how to go about updating my TS12 which currently is at version 47059. The patch for TS12 mentioned in the Auran sticky message patched TS12 from 48249 to 49922 and - as I read it - the patch won't work on my version. Thanks, Wes

Can anyone recommend any TS12-compatible US routes set in the 1930's or 1940's on the DLS or from thrid-parties? Thanks, Wes

How to control the "density" of an applied texture in TS2012? Is there a tutorial? I'd appreciate information (or a pointer to a tutorial) on how to control the density of an applied texture using TS2012. For some time I've been envious when I see someone else's screenshot and one or more of...

If this is the wrong forum for this question, please let me know. My question involves using Surveyor to create a new session for a payware route. I recently purchased the payware, Marias Pass Route X, and am very pleased with it. One of the sessions in the "stock" version of this route is the...

My interest is not so much in driving trains on long routes, but, rather, driving slowley along highly-detailed, small routes. I subscribe to Model Railroader magazine and find myself drawn to the highly detailed scenes shown in the photographs. I don't have the skill, the room, or the...

When - in Surveyor - I'm browsing through a route downloaded from the DLS, is there a way I can determine the kuid of a scenery object used in that route? Thanks, Wes

First, let me say this is not a complaint. I'm running TS2010 After downloading/installing the Miyabi route - but NOT YET downloading the missing assets as outlined in the message by Dave: "... Have you seen the original thread announcng the release of the routes? You may find your answers...

I've just installed TS 12 and registered the S/N with Auran. In using content manger 3.5 (came with TS 12) the Download Helper window - which on previous versions Trainz used to show the status of the download now seems to be "locked" with an overlaying window asking me to register my S/N...

I just downloaded "The Loops" route from the DLS and I got the error message in the title "Not authorised to commit change to asset <kuid:401543:1009> I'm not sure what to do. As far as I know, I didn't modify anything. All I wanted to do is download and then try this route. Has anyone...
