Hello all, I am a new member to the Trainz forum, and the simulator entirely, and I could use some guidance from the Veterans of this community. I am an avid Mac user but I am torn between purchasing Trainz Simulator 2 or Trainz: A New Era. I am mainly leaning towards T:ANE. What would be your best suggestions for a final purchase?
I understand the basic concept that you download content that you want into the simulator via the Download Station. If I were to download T:ANE, would I be able to access content within the station from years such as 2006, 2009, etc? I have noticed that much of the content I want to download is from older editions of Trainz.
What other advice can anyone pass on to a new member? Any help into having a good start into this community would be most helpful.
If this helps any, my main focus interest in railroads and trains are Post War Streamliners (FEC, Santa Fe, Union Pacific, NY Central specifically), Thomas and Friends, and Steam Locomotives from the 1930s to the 1950s. Post War diesels are more of my favored choices rather than more modern diesels of today. I also enjoy the narrow gauge lines of the Durango and Silverton, and the Cumbers and Toltec.
I look forward to meeting those who read this post and reply.
