What does everyone use for handling and keeping track of all of your trains and their status and location and their signals ahead? I am using Marzitrains Display rule. I really couldn't function without it. Is there something you are using that's better or do you have a completely different method?
What does everyone do?

@pware - Display Train List,<kuid2:57145:80104:1> by marzipan. Had to Google to find the forum page it was on. Very old rule from 2007-ish
He has 3 rules on the DLS:
<kuid2:57145:80101:2> Display Industry Status
<kuid2:57145:80104:1> Display Train List
<kuid2:57145:80105:2> Train Dispatch Display

Oddly enough, searching here returned nothing, but I found this thread with Google search: Posts number 9 and 11 are the ones https://forums.auran.com/threads/a-new-driver-utility-distance-counter.17437/post-183551
EDIT: Oops, Ricomon35 beat me to the post button.
I don't do anything special to keep track of them. If I'm running a train, I'm the engineer... I don't know what other trains are out there. If I'm setting things, I just use the built-in tools.

In the older days of Trainz when I played TRS2006, TS2010, and a bit of TS12, I would use the Display Custom HUD v2 rule (<kuid2:61392:1070:1> mc Display Custom HUD V2). It was a builtin rule at the time and it has a nice GUI for the grades, speeds, signal, junction directional status, and total distance. It was a nice little rule when I was driving my trains.
TS12 and TANE I would use the builtin (and still builtin according to TRS22) the Display Custom HUD (<kuid:-3:10206> Display Custom HUD) until it was fully replaced with the new TRS19 HUD. Now I use the new GUI that's shown by default.
cheers

Please remove that link. You can't link to that website in this forum.

I just set it and forget it. If I am the engineer, then I just keep track of the consists using the car tagger rule and library from CDE. No color coding, but that's fine. If I set up AI trains I just set their commands (again set it and forget it). Since we have the ability to click on the driver icon, pull up the master list, click the eyeball and boom goes the dynamite. I don't trust older rules anyway due to the potential scripting or lag issues they can cause. I try to follow the KISS rule. Overthinking makes me stress and I already suffer from hyper tension, and I don't need a second heart attack. LOL
I do a combination of checking in on the AI drivers and driving my own train. My large route will run for quite a while before the AI start to play up and when they do, they'll wreak havoc requiring me to stop what I'm doing to untangle the mess in Surveyor before continuing.
I am mainly using it to see where trains are at so I can know if I have to wait with the one I'm driving at a junction until a AI passes, etc.
