For TMR, all downloadable content is invalid?!

I have TMR17 and a download ticked. I search on content using only the TMR17 filter. Items comes up and I select some, but in the download cart, every item is marked as invalid content.

Searching for TMR17 content will return content that ONLY works in TMR (version 4.4). At this stage, no-one has uploaded anything.

All version slower than 4.4 will work in TMR17, so there is no need to filter that content out.

Also, using Content Manager is way easier to find and download items than the website. Search, filter, download, and all the dependencies are downloaded for you.
 
Hi Tony --

"At this stage, no-one has uploaded anything."

That's not quite true. I'm hoping that I'm just the first of many to upload TMR17 content - search the DLS with "shortz" and "zyd" and you will find sessions for the layouts that came built-in with TMR17.

Search for the following on the Download Station (aka DLS) with the category 'Layouts' selected:
model
trainz
railroadz

I would also suggest searching for the following:
railroad
railway
scale

You should search for each of these with 'title' selected then search each of these again, only with it in the 'description'.
Also, try searching using the name of a model railroad magazine, the publisher of the magazine, and the name of a manufacturer of model trains, as some manufacturers also make their own track plan books.
It's also best that you search for routes/layouts with 'TS2009', 'TS2009SP4/TS2010', 'TS12', 'T:ANE', and 'TMR17' selected. However, there have been model railroadz made in previous editions of Trainz, but the specific pieces needed to make a route look like a model railroadz included in T:ANE and up were not available at the time, so the creators had to come up with other ways to create a model railroadz. The pieces needed to make model railroadz like those included in TMR17 and T:ANE weren't available until as early as TS2009 edition.

EDIT:
If you want some info on how to make model railroadz and some of the pieces needed to make it look like a model railroadz, check out this thread:
