I purchased trs12 without knowing anything of this program for my 6yo autistic son. He showed me some videos on YouTube of Thomas and Friends recreations of the show... I know he plays ROBLOX and can do some driving and crashing in that game. But, he is often upset after a few moments of play because some of the other players often take the vehicle or they boot him from the room because he doesn't interact with them. I just want to see my son laugh and have a great time the YouTube post make him. So, I did make a promise that I would figure out this Program. The problem is; I have no idea what else I need to get in order to begin this venture. Which member level, what base program is better for Trainz (Thomas). do I need to build my own route, or can he play on others?

Thank you

Welcome to the forums, Eddie.

You first need to register your program so that it appears on your timeline, otherwise, your posts will be ignored. If you have difficulties registering, you can contact the helpdesk here: http://support.trainzportal.com/ This is true for Steam purchases as well due to an issue with Steam not always communicating with the registration servers.

To answer your question. There are some prebuilt routes in TS12 that may suffice for him. The content, however, has to be installed separately since TTTE is not built-in. There is some content located on the Download Station or DLS for short, but not all TTTE assets are there. Your best bet is to go to the Sodor Workshops website:

https://www.sodorworkshops.com/index.htm

You will need to download and install individual packages that include the locomotives and wagons as well as the individual dependencies. Be warned the content packages are quite large and take a very long time to install.

You might like to start him on Middleton for laptops. It has a Tram engine that looks a bit like Toby. Pick up this content first:

https://www.jatws.org/johnw/middleton.zip

Then pick up Middleton for laptops from the DLS.

If you are running TS12 and not TANE or TS19 you'll need this version. https://www.jatws.org/johnw/MiddletonforLaptopsTS12.7z

The other advantage is it doesn't need a high end computer to run on.

He may find Middleton with canal - Session KUID2:117948:100274:1 interesting as well. Watching the barges go through the locks.

Best of luck.

Cheerio John
