Virtual Railroads using Trainz?

[Giggsy1961]

Hi,
Only just got myself this sim after a few years away from the "hobby" The last sim i had was MSTS and i joined a virtual railroad called NERR which used MSTS as a platform. You did various jobs with various requirements and gradually went up through the ranks.
So far i think Trainz 2009 is a better sim, but i am wondering if anyone can tell me if there are any VR's out there which use this game as a base.
I hope this hasnt been asked before elsewhere, i did a search but couldnt find anything.
Anyway...as i said all new to me at the mo...so back to those tutorials.
Thanks in advance...

I too was a member of the NERR, which i think was the best MSTS VR.

I don't know of anything similar for Trainz, except the Razorback Railway..............

We used to have a system called The Living Railway which recorded each user's progress through our activities but that is no longer in operation. We've never created anything involving train operations with online communication between users, but the concept has always interested us. We're currently investigating TS2010 so maybe one day, who knows?

Thanks IKB and John.
I will check out the Razorback Railway anyway.
I enjoyed working my way through various situations, and there seems to be plenty here to keep me busy.

Right.
With a username like Giggsy I am going to guess that you're either Welsh or from the red side of Manchester or a Man Utd fan from elsewhere.

Or I could be completely wrong.

Welcome anyway.

You are correct..it is the latter of your guesses..I am an Ex Pat (From Cornwall) now living in Australia.
Giggsy is an absolute legend!..So many years with one club, such loyalty is rare in the modern game.
Getting slightly off track here.
Back to the Razorback Railway....i am trying to find some tasks/activities/scenarios for the pre installed route on TS09 WBE with little luck. I have tried downloading one or two from their website, but get a message when i run it saying TS2006 is not installed.
Are there any within in the content manager that i can download?

Back to the Razorback Railway....

Larry has posted his latest plans for making RBR material available for TS2010 here and those items, when they are released, might also work in TS2009.

Again..many thanks John, I will wait awhile and hope some 2010 stuff eventually works for me.
