I was trying to do some digging into some information for a video surrounding Trainz 2006, but come to find out, the site is now a 404. Same for a couple other pages of the old games. What is this for? None of these sites have been archived since Auran excludes their link from the Wayback Machine. Sad times, there was some good information on those pages about the teams brought in to make content for 06, it was all very useful.

I posted a link here to an "internet archived" manual and manual only for Trainz 2006 and it has been deleted and declared "pirated software". I caution anyone else from posting links to ANY Trainz manual, if it is not sanctioned by N3V.

Not sure what you are trying to achieve or who you are trying to piss off (or even if you are), but you seem to be overly enthusiastic to try and make a point without (in my opinion) actually making a point. I might be overlooking the obvious, but again I don't see it (or don't want to see it for the sake of "peace").
TRS2006 has been out of support for about 5 million years and you can even get a more recent version of Trainz for free.
The way the game works has not drastically changed between the initial version and TANE (I can't judge for versions after that). That goes for both content creation and running trains (but that again might be just my opinion). Since in that range a free version is available and the only thing you might be missing from 2006 is the routes (though aren't they also in a version on the DLS by now; not sure) I am failing to see the point of this topic and/or pointing to 3rd party websites for age old content (that likely is there illegal as it is not distributed there or hosted by N3V).
To the OP:
Maybe if you ask Zec nicely or contact support they are willing to dig up some information. Or maybe contact (people like) JCitron or PCAS1986 they can just supply you some information from their private archives.

Maybe I can help to make sense of this issue. TRS2006 was packaged with 10 routes and their sessions that were created by 10 different groups of Trainzers. They actually used TRS2004 SP4 to build the routes since TRS2006 was under development. Auran was a bit more conscious of the hard work put into Trainz by members of the community and created a section on the old website to highlight each team and their members as a thank you for their hard work. That is the information that the OP is looking for. Based upon my past experience, the old website might still be there but it is difficult to pull up with modern browsers due to it being written in a really early version of HTML which uses tags that modern browsers don't understand any more. My only advice would be to try older browsers. I don't know if it is still in Win 11 but Win 10 did include Internet Explorer for just such uses under "program files\internet explorer\iexplore.exe". Be very careful and only attempt to go to the auran site. It is not safe to use for general web browsing.
What video are you looking for? The only one I can remember shows the UP Bigboy driving on the Toronto Trainz route and illustrating wheel slip and I don't have a copy of that, as far as I know.
As Oknotsen says, the overall operation isn't much different from TRS2004 through TS12.

I'm kinda speechless at this response. What have I done or said to try to anger anyone? I just wanted to know what happened to the old sites, as the old screenshot competition site from 2002 is still there.Not sure what you are trying to achieve or who you are trying to piss off (or even if you are), but you seem to be overly enthusiastic to try and make a point without (in my opinion) actually making a point.

My point of making this post was to ask a question...

The video I believe you're referring to for my post is one that I have been writing and planning to make with another fellow Youtuber, not released yet. The information I've been using for this video was there on the site, as well as some interviews I was able to lookup. It was all mainly stuff about the devs, who they were and what they'd done before or after the game released. There was also some good screenshots on the page that are gone from the internet now, I was planning on using them for some parts.What video are you looking for?

What is the URL? I seem to be able to open those page and no one else can. The problem is the old Auran site was built with framesets and frames. Modern browsers have no idea how to render framesets any more because they were obsoleted about 15 years ago. For some reason, my firefox will open the larger of the three frames after failing to open the frameset. I don't get the nav bar or the header so I have to guess on the links to other pages if it is more that one page but the designer used a simple system for numbering pages.I tried to open the site on an old browser that I have, but no luck.

http://www.auran.com/TRS2006/ was the link. I attempted it on an old version of Firefox for Windows XP, but it showed the same error as what I see on my main computer.What is the URL?

First part of my reply was to Sultan. Since I didn't quote him, I can see how you took that differently and thought it was all aimed at you. I thought the "To the OP:" part made that clear enough, but clearly it didn't. Sorry for that.I'm kinda speechless at this response.

I’d seriously reconsider your attitude if this is the way you post. You represent Trainz as a moderator, rightly or wrongly, and this is a terrible look.
That just opened right up for me in Edge.http://www.auran.com/TRS2006/ was the link.
Oh my god, that worked. Thank you very much! I wonder why it doesn't work on Firefox anymore at all, even the old versions that I assume aren't supported.That just opened right up for me in Edge.
Well if you're talking about me, I do indeed have two discs of 2006 (one from the Trainz Collection with '04 and the map pack addons), a disc of Driver Edition, and a copy of Protrainz Perfect I ordered from Germany.I wish we still had the track map showing what versions members had registered. I used that to gauge if someone should get an answer or not - no versions registered, you're probably a pirate.
Not you specifically, no.
As far as browsers go, seems like every year or so I switch browsers because some update starts making too many websites break. However none of them are M$ products - they can't shake off the stank of Internet Exploiter for me just by changing the name.
But anyway, some other browser is a good step one if any site starts acting wonky or doesn't seem to respond.
