Let me first state that english isn't my first language so try to look "behind" my bad spelling...
What I want to say is that there is a serious shortage of trees that work in native mode for Trainz 2010 and 12 that is on the DLS and thus possible to use for multiplayer. When it comes to SpeedTrees there isn't so much as shortage as a lack off. The only European SpeedTree for the boreal region I have found that exist i the "Norweigan spruce" and that one looks strange. It is possibly that McGuirel have uploaded some tree that I have missed perhaps. There is also a built in "birch" but that doesn't look like any birch I know off - it looks like a cultivated domesticated park birch - not a forest type.
There is some good looking JVC trees that isn't SpeedTree. However, it looks strange if you mix SpeedTrees with stationary trees since SpeedTrees moves and the ordinary tree next to it doesn't.
What I am trying to say is that it is necessary for N3V to release more standard trees if we want to have any use for the multiplayer feature of Trainz that forces us to use only DLS assets. Making trees is hard work and the software to make SpeedTrees is both expensive and hard to use - we can't expect people to pay for that to upload the for free on the DLS.
I think N3V should step up and deliver some more SpeedTrees if they belive them to be the future. Or in the worst case sell a SpeedTree tree pack but that does work with multiplayer...
