For those of you into the Trainz Sim, TS12, my GTW Flint Subdivision route is available for download on the Auran DLS (GTW Flint Sub for asset name). This route covers around 65 Miles of GTW mainline between MP272 to 334 and then into Sarnia via the tunnel. http://hostthenpost.org/uploads/9f307dc4d2...

For those looking for updated content for TS12, I have redone several of my routes https://sites.google.com/site/michigantrainzroutes/ on my site. They also have been uploaded to the DLS and are awaiting approval for those who use TS12. You will need content from Pofig (all trees), SARXT (all scener...

Chris, I'll be doing a route for MP on the Flint Sub route and possibly the Mt. Clemens Sub routes in the works. I think I can remove the non-DLS content from the PH&D route and create that one for MP too. These will take some time and probably be after the New Year. The MTC Sub Route will have a MP...

Today I spent about 2 hours or more making things a little more accessible on the trail and the old ROW. It is about a 10 minute walk for me to the water station. I trimmed brush, briars, pickers, thorns, and other things that scratch so one can navigate a little more safely and see. I have lots of ...

Some of the foam board does have aluminum on it on one side. If it is pink or blue then it is probably good for layout use. The white stuff sometimes has the aluminum on it and it is not suitable for sanding and sculpting like the pink or blue stuff is. Wear a mask when working with this stuff and m...

Some content that works in TS2010 will not work in TS 2012 if you have that sim. It will need modifications too. It's a pain, but there is some good older content worth fixing to get into TS12.

For your model from Digitrax: http://www.digitrax.com/products/command-stations-boosters/dcs100/ Note: Accepts either 50/60 Hz AC or DC input from power supply (sold separately). Recommended power supply: Digitrax PS514 or equivalent. Maximum input 22 volts AC or 28 volts DC Minimum input 12 volts A...

I use laptop power supplies myself and have had no problems. Just be sure you dcc booster's input voltage and amps are not over what it is rated for. Laptop ac adapters produce a nice filtered DC which works well for the DCC system. I use one for my Digitrax booster and command module and another fo...

Who says an oval layout is not real... Carter, MT.

A 33x18' room can model it to scale. Must be the best way to load the grain trains when needed.

The next Trainz Route I am working on is C&O Bad Axe.

Just south of Port Austin with the Port Austin AFS in the distance.

I'll keep you TS12 / 10 junkies informed.

I will let you all know that the content will be loaded this week to the Auran Download Station http://www.auran.com/TRS2004/DLS.php for the PH&D route. Log in with your Trainz login info and search for my profile, dericm and any of my content will show up once approved. As of today, nothing is up y...

After a long and detail build, I am going to release the Port Huron and Detroit route for Trainz 2012 (2010) Simulator probably this week. This has been a long build, longer with many life events slowing work, but the entire 19 mile route of the PH&D will be done to scale with about 98% accuracy for...

Well, that all depends on what you are looking for. DCC- http://www.tonystrains.com/ - they have good pricing and sometimes some real steals on clearance items. Lots of good info. http://www.internethobbies.com/inmodtrain.html- large selections, pricing was lower than most others, but now about the ...

http://railroadfan.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10046/6x10a.jpg The radius is in red on the curves. Most are 22" some 20 or 21" Also all are #4 frogs except where you see the #5 on the layout. It is small, compact, but has room to build a small town or scenery on this layout. If you don't know, the ...

Fairly simple. Can be operated as a point to point or just let them run...

Room for switching, and other track. Have fun building!

The Selfridge connection is probably gone for good. I know the MTM complemented the Selfridge Air Museum and that reciprocated back to MTM. The base in its security wisdom decided to cancel the MTM's operations a few years after 9/11. Currently the base has cut and removed rails from many road way c...

Try this site. http://www.multimodalways.org/archives/rrs/rrs.html It has quite the coverage of maps you may like to check out. I have had some download issues here, but was able to copy and paste the link address in another window and get the pdf to download. I am currently creating the TS 12 Mt. C...

Wrapping them in paper towels are a must if storing in a cardboard box. Placing tissue between cars is a must as well. I just opened up all my boxes of cars from when I packed them away over four years ago. I was amazed at the amount of couplers broken from NOT cushioning the couplers with something...
