Free Programs

Sorry if I've misled anyone with that title but are there any free software programs similar to TransDem? I would hate to purchase TransDem and find out that I wouldn't use it much. Thanks.

There's no need to Google. There's a a special directory just for Trainz and all the free dem stuff is listed. It's called the Trainz Resources Directory (Click Link or the sig below) and it's been around for almost a year. Take a peak. it may just surprise you. If you don't like using search boxes, DEM and HOG are both listed under Software in the menu on the left.

Johnk, thanks for reminding me. I have your site in my favorites but didn't think to go there. A senior moment. I downloaded both programs but I'm not having any luck with the DEM. I keep getting error messages and I'm not sure how to go about using a DEM. All I want is a DEM of the Tillamook Bay Railroad located in Oregon but I'm getting frustrated trying to get one. I was hoping someone would be kind enough to send me one but I'm assuming that it's a lot of work because no one has responded. I'll keep trying, that is a very interesting railroad. Take a look.
