New to Trainz. Any recommendations?

Hi, everyone. I just picked up TS2009 the other day, and I'm loving it so far. With the download system as vast as it is, I was wondering if anyone could recommend some of the better locos or routes, so that I can expand.

Also, does anyone have any tips for getting the most enjoyment out of the game?

Welcome to Trainz and enjoy your ride, like a lot of us it will be a long one full of excitement.

I would start off with these following freeware/payware sites for quality content to download.

http://www.rrmods.com/
Awesome freeware locomotives and other items, large selection of payware

http://www.jointedrail.com/
Amazing payware and must needed freeware, download as much as possible.

Great download site, all freeware, registration required (free)

http://www.uslw.net/
High quality freeware content

http://www.guarc.us/
Freeware content, registration required (free)

Best trees out there for TS2009/10 - all payware, you can find other things by jankvis on DLS for free, just search JVC

For routes on DLS look up the UMR. HUGE route.
Also look up gfisher on DLS and if your computer can handle it download all of his routes - some of the best in Trainz in my opinion. Some of his other creations can be found on USLW and DLS.

That should get you started, if you need any assistance feel free to ask!
Enjoy!

Cheers,
Adam

EDIT: Check out Dermmy's routes; Clovis 1 &2 and East Kentucky found here: http://www.checkrail.com/

Thank you very much! Greatly appreciated! I'll check out those sites, and see what turns up.

Which area of the world and which time period are you interested in?

Thanks John
