DesirableDesiro and HudsonTour - two sessions for RiversideRailroadCo

Well-known member
As promised, I have just uploaded two sessions for the RiversideRailroadCo.

In part they are meant to familiarize locomotive engineers with the route; in part to serve as a template for other sessions (the AI trainz are configured to run southbound in Desiro and northbound in Hudson, and all the locomotive facilities are configured to provide coal and water).

And of course I hope they entertain the user.

DesirableDesiro places the user in the cab of a two unit Desiro railcar. It's an all stops passenger service from one extremity of the route to the other:

"Chuck, Joe, Dispatcher here. Welcome to your first day with our new Company.
You can treat this as an introductory tour, but remember our passengers are also depending on you to maintain schedule. You will be driving our new two unit Desiro railcar.
You start at the Minerals Loader, then pick up at Conoco, the Teamsters Yard, the Container Terminal and then to the Caboose Spur at Loco. Head north, stopping at Lys Harbor Station, Fingers Foundry and all stops to Diaspar. Terminate at Anderson Milling before stabling at the Diaspar bay platform.
Then report for further instructions."

HudsonTour makes you take charge of a steam hauled tour train, with a Milwaukee Hudson southbound and a Victorian Railways Hudson northbound:

"Chuck, Joe - our fame has travelled far and wide. Tour train operators want to run passenger trains over our scenic riverside section using our collection of historic steam locomotives that we use in everyday service.
In the bay platform at Diaspar you will find three panoramic passenger cars. Coal and water your Milwaukee Hudson and then position the passenger cars at the main platform. Departure is scheduled for 0700.
Run through to Lys with a stop at Armour, and take the Milwaukee Hudson to Loco. Coal and water the VR Hudson and return with the tour train to Diaspar, with a stop at Riverside. Position the cars in the bay platform, return to Loco and contact me for your next duties."

Desiro uses all built-in content. Hudson requires a passenger car from:

Scroll down to SBB Apm, kuid 143205:15144, download the file and install it by double clicking on the .cdp file.

Please don't be deterred by the need to go to an external site to download this asset - this passenger car is absolutely outstanding.

It is also possible that Download Helper may not capture the loco crew, kuid 44090:57003, for the VR Hudson steam locomotive and you may have to download this manually from the Download Station.

As with all my sessions, part of the challenge is interacting with the AI trainz. Do give way to them - they will not give way to you. Using the map view (M-key) helps to locate the AI trainz.

Maps and a readme are included in the folder containing the sessions. The maps and readme for the route can also be found at:

For those attempting the challenge of driving the steamers in cab mode (is there any other way?) for the first time, this thread may also help:

For those interested, the route is:

Hi Nix --

I could fudge and say that "Desiro uses all built-in content" means content in TRS2004/06 or on the Download Station.

But I'll have to 'fess up and say I used the wrong words. Totally.

The Desiro railcar is not built-in; itcomes from the Download Station, kuids 9999:150 and 9999:151

SoC97 --

As does the Milwaukee Hudson. Look for kuids:
193148:1348
193148:1349
193148:1399
193148:1400

Better still, download the session!

Sorry to drag up such an old tread, But I would like to run this session.
Only problem is that the Hudsontour sesion uses the non dls car.
The link above gives an error 404. Would anybody know where to find this car?
Thanks for your help.

Lucky you :) ... have fun with the content and make sure you have it backed-up somewhere safe you might not get it back again if you lose it.
 
Error 1045

I am trying to install Trainz Collection, and I am getting Error 1045 "File Execution Failed, Elevation Required." I have tried installing on both computers, and I get the same issue.
 
Error 1045

I figured out the issue, you need to right on the setup icon in the CD, and select Run as Administrator. This only applies to Windows Vista.
 
Hats off!!

It may not be a rocket science, but the error displayed could have been more sensible. I am quite good with computers, but when one of my firend who is not so geek, actually elevated his laptop...:hehe:

There are two passenger cars and I don't know which exact one it uses (I am just downloading both as I type).

I look forward to running this later. :)

ugh... the site is in italian, and I can't seem to locate the asset, even after registering...

Is it available anywhere else?
