Liam that is only modern plates ie the last 2 years and not all plates carry this.

Tad more than 2 years, I have seen R reg + with the GB tag.
I dare say!
It definitely has been common practice on more plates than not since September 2001 (51 reg), although obviously, some new cars do not have tags, mine doesn't for example (02)
Both of our cars have eurobands. One was made in 2004 and one was 2002, so they date back quite far..
In most European countries it's required to have them, like The Netherlands, Spain, Portugal ect. But we're independant..we don't

Great feedback tmz and ex-railwayman thanks!
Very interesting and I shall do that so the trains don't look out of place, just one thing though and excuse this probably very newbie question, but how do I number the trains? Also I notice that some of trains have a place for numbers to go on the front , like the train here:
But how do put my own numbers on my trains? All I see is 0000.
Thanks

On Surveyor, go in the Locos menu and click the "?" button, then click the loco in surveyor. A window will pop up. Click the underlined number next to "running number" and change the value. The nameplate will change!
But on my Class 37s the number plate doesn't change?!

Not all of them do Gnasher, in fact, to be honest, very few of the old stuff does. It's only this new batch of Class 47's that has been recently released really. May I ask which Trainz version you have at the moment ???

You already have TC3, well, that's marvellous....It was made for us Brits....
Nothing wrong with getting any other versions of Trainz either (depends how much pocket money you have left after Christmas) and having them installed on different drives is a bit of a hoot. I now have TRS2004, TC3 and TRS2007 all installed on my PC and it's wicked.....:hehe:
Now, if you have TC3, then things are slightly different from Liam's advice, he was advising you of how to change the headcodes for the recent Class 47's that are on the DLS, now, in TC3 all the built-in locomotives were purpose made for this version, Rob Hill created some fabulous Class 40's and to change the headcodes on the diesels that have headcodes currently deployed at OOOO, Class 24 / 37 / 40, etc, you need to go into surveyor and place the loco on the track and go onto the top of the screen where it says Surveyor menu and there is a little button on the left hand side that says Edit Session Rules, click on that and a box appears called edit session. Go into the section called Startup Options there are 3 grey buttons click on the one that says edit, go into Driver Command and scroll down until you see Train Reporting Numbers and click on the little box you'll see a green tick appear, then click on the big green tick ( accept ) at the bottom and also on the other box as well and come out of surveyor. When you go into Driver, click your cursor on the tiny little green arrow on the space bar at the bottom and go into Train Reporting and a long list will appear giving you the types of freight class speeds and the years they were introduced, just click on whatever applies really, these were done primarily for the die hard fanatics that had to have everything exact when running their passenger and freight trains. Whatever you click on, the headcode box numbers will then automatically appear, for the steam locomotives you have lamps in various configurations, click on what type of train it is and away you go.......Blimey, that was a bit long winded, but, at least everyone now knows how it's done.....

Ah but the joy of TC3 headcode commands is you can stick them in a list of driver orders. As such your train can head of depot under a light engine code, couple up to an express passenger change code again to an express code, driver somewhere uncouple, light engine code, couple upto a class 7, then class 7 code and so on

Yes, thanks Rob, I forgot to mention that you can change your headcodes each time for all your AI movements for the same loco.
@ Gnasher, if you are a bit of a Trainz nut, you might like to have a look at this website that explains a bit about headcodes and reporting numbers, it's very informative - http://www.2d53.co.uk/Headcode/headcode.htm

P.S. @ Stationbeem, I cannot lie down and drink, I'll make myself sick.....:hehe:

Some of them are just fixed textures so they don't change. A good thing to look out for is the NumberIt Library in its dependancies. If it has this the train's headcode/5-digit code most likely can be changed e.g. on Eldavos Class 67.

Put that way, it is a desirable feature.
Headcodes
Truely excellent advice ex-railwayman your knowledge in this field is unparralleled.
Success!
And that site you posted is fantastic, veru informative, maybe after reading through it I will put the proper headcodes on the locos as opposed to the one below which I am sure will be wrong lol
