Trainz Model Railroad #2 - Needles District

[@marcel3156]

Every route-creation story in Trainz is a story full of compromises, i.e. people and stuff... Keep up the good work! :)

[@pleasant_asymmetry]

I know what you mean... It's annoying to want to build routes that need the type of buildings that aren't in Trainz.

[@ApproachMedium]

Totally. We can only work with what we've got. Unless you're an asset creator in which case you can build whatever you want to fit whatever space you have ;-) Hoping to get to that stage myself at some point in the future.

[@kodi1415]

All of those are actual trucking companies. Definately not fictional. Great videos!.

[@ApproachMedium]

I recognized a few names but there were some I never heard of before. Good to know there's an actual prototype out there. Thanks for watching!

[@kodi1415]

maybe once you get this awesome layout done, you can do my Florida East Coast..LOL. Thanks for the awesome videos.

[@ApproachMedium]

+Curtis Taylor 😉 I'll see what I can do in the future. There's a lot of potential routes I'd love to build but the adult life makes it difficult to find the time. Ugh. Hopefully you'll stick around till then tho 😊

[@jacobfrei3037]

Another awesome video! Thanks for all the effort you put into these!

[@ApproachMedium]

Thanks! And thanks for watching!

[@huntington_productions1716]

I absolutely love your videos! I have to always make time as soon as you upload them to watch them!

[@ApproachMedium]

Woooo! Thanks!!! :-)

[@splodium]

0:35 who laughed when he put like 5000 splines in 😂👌

[@ApproachMedium]

Yeah that was a pain to fix....lol

[@shawnmetzdorf4678]

Great Job

[@ApproachMedium]

Thanks :-D

[@mikepericolosi9386]

Great Job AP! Cannot wait dor the next episode!

[@ApproachMedium]

Awesome, thank you! :-D

[@derykrenaln9220]

That's awesome! Looking good. Sorry I haven't looked at any desert-themed backdrops. Hopefully you'll find a good one! Keep up the great work!

[@ApproachMedium]

Thanks buddy. I'm still looking for some good backdrops so let me know if you find any

[@ironfarmer7169]

Hey Bud All the trailers are good I was a Truck Driver for 35+ year and yes iv been to Needles and Barstole You may need some yuca and or catti awsome build love it ho i found bnsf50 stuff :)

[@ApproachMedium]

Rockin! Thanks, yeah I'll be adding some cactus and the like for the next episode.

[@MichiganRailProductions]

Trainz Model Railroad looks fun. Nice video! BTW some of the tracks have a pinkish ballast out that way. IDK if this asset is in TMR, but in the 'paint' area search "JR" (Jointed Rail) and there should be ballast that is colored gray, dark gray, pink, and a few others. Hope it helps!

[@ApproachMedium]

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll have to check that out tonight

[@charlest9387]

It's lookin good! Great Video

[@ApproachMedium]

Thanks dude!

[@jclassproductions8079]

Wow it's coming together really good, I'm thinking about making bnsf themed California route and this is ideal for a start 🛤🚂

[@ApproachMedium]

Thanks buddy! I'd say this is a good map to start with if you want to build along and try some techniques. It's small enough to manage but is pretty action packed.

[@jclassproductions8079]

Approach Medium ok thanks pal! 🛤

[@nicolemonroe2871]

I have a new era and you got it

[@billdeloach5868]

Sweet, know what I'm doing in the morning. BTW, got TransDEM awesome app. 'morning, just finished watching, outstanding job!!! Now I'm gonna give it a go. I do have one request, it'd be cool if you could do a pull back, top down shot of the entire layout, with the staging area. It moved so fast, it was hard to pause the video to see how you connected. I guess I could just fly by the seat of my pants and come up with something... LOL

[@ApproachMedium]

Glad you enjoyed! I might be able to send you a top-down screen shot this evening. Awesome that you gout TransDEM. I used it a few years back and found it very useful. Good luck with it!

[@billdeloach5868]

cool, thanks. BTW, I'm working on some backdrops from the Needles and Barstow area. Got some images just need to work them up in 3DS. Will ping you when I have something decent. And you did say Barstow correctly!

[@mrelvispresley6977]

Geat video as always AP! To be honest the backdrop I find it's not very good, because the theme of the layout it's the desert, not a full of mountains! Maybe you could extend the exteriors parts of the layouts with a little bit of sand and then put the backdrop with a sky. I don't know to be honest haha. But great video, waiting for next one, see you mate. PD: trying to find some people on the DLS, but anything convince me, a lot of stuff from older versions which doesn't look too good.

[@ApproachMedium]

Thanks buddy :-) Yeah I'm not very happy with the backdrop either. I'm going to have to dig around for something else. I just couldn't find much on the DLS. Might have to stick with the solid sky blue one. Same with the people! Not a whole lot of good ones on there.

[@greglamothe8902]

Awesome! Im Hoping To Get TMR17 Soon and Make My Own Model Railroads! This Inspired me To Make A Model Railroad In TANE :)

[@greglamothe8902]

aaww thanks for the heart!

[@arierx1824]

good job

[@ApproachMedium]

Thanks buddy! :-D

[@CentralIndianaRailfan]

Love the vid!!! I would suggest you put in some rail greasers here and there every railway uses them for some purpose or another would defanly like to see them!!

[@ApproachMedium]

Good idea! I'll add that to my list of details to add.

[@joshbnsf]

when will the next video be out. I've been trying to copy the P&B and the route for model trains. the PMB is the heart is because I'm following the route to early out and it's hard to figure out which way the tracks go in the details and things like that

[@joshbnsf]

I'm just copying your two words that you're doing the p&bis the hordes what I meant

[@ApproachMedium]

+josh bnsf Next P&B should be next week. Aiming for Wednesday.

[@joshbnsf]

OK man

[@JessicaKasumi1990]

As a native of Southern California, desert shrubs are common in the desert. The closer you get to the cities like LA (my area), palm trees become more frequent.

[@ApproachMedium]

Thanks for the tip! I'll keep that in mind as I build around.

[@localizer4418]

This is a great channel! I know that your time is limited but it would be great if you were able to upload multiple vids a week. I really think you would attract a large following. Great job!!!

[@ApproachMedium]

Thank you! I would love to get more videos out but it's not just my lack of time. It's where I live. My recording space is basically in the middle of everything in my apartment. I live in a 500 square foot box with my wife right across the street from a hospital and subway so it's constantly noisy. Factor that with the simple fact that if my wife is home doing anything at all it'll be picked up by my mic. So it kind of sucks right now. I'll hopefully be moving into a bigger space in a few months which will allow me a little more freedom to film. So stay tuned because I'll be making videos as long as I'm able to ;-)

[@joshbnsf]

when is a new video going to come out

[@henrykraichely6882]

I made a typo in my first note. I wanted to ask "have you used the latest release from Trainz? At $239.00 it seems very expensive. Thanks, Hank

[@joshbnsf]

I'm copying all your roots but I don't know how to download the trains in the download station can you make a video about that please

[@ApproachMedium]

Open up Content Manager and select Download Station from the dropdown box and you'll be able to download assets

[@joshbnsf]

it working Harley get my BNSF and CSX engine thanks man

[@anthonyd1421]

How do you use the Picklist in trainz?

[@alfiomarino5524]

where you've got the two trucks? (Red and gray)

[@analogsynthmuseum784]

hello could we make the creation windows with train choice BIGGER because my eyes fight to see the small pictures, thanks and nice videos always from france.

[@BrettCulley]

hi i own all the trainz versions all the way up to the newest one, my question is, do you think trainz 17 is worth the upgrade from tane, i havent played any of them in a couple years. i have always been more into model railroading than what train simulator 2017 had to offer. i own a ton of locos from jointed rails as well. i seem to bounce from flight sim back to train sim every couple years or so.

[@ApproachMedium]

+Brett Culley (Patriot304) If you don't own T:ane it's a good stand alone game but I'm not sure I'd consider it an upgrade. I think once SP2 is released for T:ane you'll be able to download all the routes and assets included in TMR so maybe just wait for that.

[@capefeartrainsandsirens]

Where did you get the station from?

[@frankedwards5715]

Great work where do you find the backdrops to installthanks

[@ApproachMedium]

Everything is off of the Download Station

[@kodi1415]

Date palms are very common around the city areas

[@ApproachMedium]

Thanks for the tip! I'll see if I can find a good asset.

[@groggers]

You could have put bent rusty rails in the extra bays maybe. I know you've finished but I'm just saying my thoughts...

[@alexatron5963]

where did you get the UP SD70M's? :/

[@caleb5823]

I cant find the PVR Engine shed, can you give me the link directly to it, please? And nice video! You really are good at creating routes!

[@billdeloach5868]

I'm pretty sure this is it: JR PVR Engine & Car shop

[@ApproachMedium]

Yeah it's right on Jointed Rails website under freeware

[@RatorLP]

Where do you have the locos from?

[@lorenzoruizrubio9006]

RatorLP Trainz stock?

[@lorenzoruizrubio9006]

RatorLP trainz a new era

[@henrykraichely6882]

I enjoy your segments but I have not purchased the game as yet. I plan to run the game on a Win 10 Pro and someone sent me a note saying the 2010 game is not compatible with Win-10 Pro, is this true? Have used the new Trainz New Era it seems very expensive Amazon has it for $239.00. Any info or advise you can offer would be apprieciated! Where do I look for your response, I am watching on one of those boxes that pop up on the right side of the screen.

[@ApproachMedium]

DO NOT SPEND $239 ON THIS GAME! Idk where that price is from but it's not that much money. Use this link, store.trainzportal.com/?aff=36 You can get Trainz A New Era for $29.99 or the newest iteration, Trainz 19 for $69.99. Trainz 2010 and 2012 are waaaay out of date so don't bother with them.

[@Skiesaremine]

I have a couple questions(new player here) In free drive, can you spawn a single locomotive rather than an entire train? Also, I found that there are a lot of trains in my rail yard, but I can't spawn them in quick drive. Could you tell me how to spawn as them? Thanks

[@pleasant_asymmetry]

Create a new session, then you can use all the trains that you can use in Railyard.

[@Skiesaremine]

I tapped create session button, but it brought me to a thing like a world editor, what should I do next? I found that I have a lot of locomotives are in my rail yard but the game don't let me add them to maps, could you tell me why?

[@pleasant_asymmetry]

You can now place cars and locomotives on the tracks.

[@Skiesaremine]

I know I can put some trains on track, but I found that I have some locomotives I have in my rail yard which I can't put them on track. How do I put those single locomotives on track? That is my question

[@Skiesaremine]

I know I can put some locomotives on the track, but it always ask me to put the entire train(12 cars or above). I wonder if I can put just the cars or just the locomotives.

[@pleasant_asymmetry]

Sorry to comment so soon again, I thought maybe you should flip-flop the way the fuel cranes are facing. For a engine to use the first one coming into the engine facility, it has to be fouling a switch. The second fuel crane won't work with longer engines since it's near the end of a stub track.

[@ApproachMedium]

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll take a look at that tonight.

[@northwesternohiorailfan5622]

HEY I HAVE TRAINZ SIMULATOR CAN YOU PUT IT A FREE DOWNLOAD I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE ELETRONIC CROSSINGS WITH ACTUAL FLASHING LIGHTS AND BELL SOUNDS AND SANTA FE DASH 9S AND AMTRAK TRAINS
