Alan Locojoe.

Can you help me please.
does anyone out there know anything about TRAINZ simulator as I have
got one and I am making the TYNE VALLEY line on the surveyor part of
trainz and I am at a loss as to how you get the engines and coaches and
wagons onto the line you are making. There is nothing in the large
manual that gives every thing but putting train consists onto a knew map
Scenario.
So anyone who has any knowledge on TRAINZ can you help a poor old man
get trains running on his new map???????????

Ah, your not alone, I had this problem when I first used TRAINZ. Ive got TRAINZ: the unltimate collection, so it might be different on newer versions.
Anyway. Go onto the track feature box on the surveyor (where you can select track, signals e.t.c) there are 3 menus:

Tracks
Signlas
Tracker

Go to the tracker menu where there is a choice of a red triangle or a green cross shaped box (its called the trigger but I don't know what that does), but select the red triangle and click on a part of the track, where the triangle will appear on the track. Then save it, and when you load up the map on driver mode then you will see that triangle on the map, you can select a train on that triangle. Then load up the game and see your train on the map .

I would get Trainz 2006, it's better for building route and driving trains

Also don't forget that Trainz you are supposed to be able to be the 'routemaster' so it is necessary to have a free roaming view.

Is worth the download though

I tried BVE but it doesn't work with windows7.
