New User/A Few Questions

[AirCoaster]

Hi Gang,
Well, I am not necessarily new to Trainz, and I am certainly not a stranger to 3D content creation. I created in Flight Sim for many years. Now I want to be creative in Trainz.

I was wondering if there are content creation groups out there dedicated to Trainz content, and if so, which ones would you suggest to join? I would like to join a group that is not centered around one person, and isn't afraid to share their knowledge with others. I want to create my own content, and share that content with the community.

Speaking of content creation, at one time I remember seeing a download link to some files about the limitations and specs involved in the creation of content for Trainz, where did it go?

My usual hangout is The Old Hangar Forums, which has a forum on railroading for those enjoy it. http://mainescenery.proboards.com/index.cgi . Also, my personal website is http://adventureasylum.com/ .




Ok, enough gab, awaiting your replies,
John

There are many groups that would welcome your services. Trainz Pro Routes is one that I would recommend, as it seems to fit your requirements.

What is your area of interest in Railroading? Modern? Historic? 1874? Amtrak? Cali HSR? There are alot of different content creation groups out there, I would suggest popping by their websites & looking around. Here are a few:
www.uslw.net
www.rrmods.com
www.trainzproroutes.org
www.trainzcommuterrail.co.cc
www.amtraktrainz.co.cc

Thanks for the responses guys. I haven't decided on what particulars I want to model yet. I want to gain some knowledge before I delve into content creation in a specific area. I have always had a love for the Pennsy. I think my favorite loco of the road is the E6s 4-4-2 Atlantic.

anyway, I will look into these groups you have mentioned. Thanks a bunch for the input.
