Mods, if this thread is not in the right section of the forums, please place it in the correct one! Thank you.
I am wondering if this kind of an idea would work and/or see how many people would be interested. I was having a discussion with a fellow trainzer who happens to be doing similar activities in trainz to what I am, and uses similar road power to what I do for it and he proposed the idea of having like an operators session. I think we are well aware of something similar to this known as Model RR clubs, but perhaps something similar could be done for a trainz operating session. I wouldn't use MP, as it is unreliable and takes away much of the freedom of trainzers doing what they do best.
The idea would look something like this:
The club/group leader would set forth what RR's would be seen:
As an example: I would say that CN, CP, UP, NS, BN, and CNW along with Pool power from other RR's and CCW or your own fictional shortline are all fair game in any operators session
Era is going to be the 90's to the present day.
Each member has their own route which handles different things and will be specified the member himself.
I would create a specific Trainz Chat channel directly related to our group.
The members would then put trains together with specific operations and destinations:
example: Member#XXX: CN Train XX is run-through with cars to be setout at Irish City yard for interchange at Irish City Co-Op railway.
The idea would be to connect the routes we're using with Iportals at which I have found to be the most reliable way to interact with other users.
There would be one specific time and day at least once a week (Don't worry, I know we all have jobs and lives. For example, I work nights which could conflict with other members schedules) that at least a decent amount of the members get together and have an operators session and screenshots from that section would go into a thread directly related to the group.
All members would be free to run trains in a session any time they wish with anybody.
I don't know, but I kinda like the idea. I'd like to see some other people's take on it as well. This could perhaps be something that could be a source of much fun for some members.
