Trainz DAR/CNR Halifax Sub Project ongoing

If it's smaller than a bread box then it belongs in here. Post comments, stories, photos and whatever else seems appropriate for a model railway forum.

Very ambitious! Are you planning to share it at some point? There are a few Trainz operators here who would probably enjoy the ride.

Sorry your post got waylaid in the moderator's cue for a few weeks. That was my fault.

The screen shots are very great. I went to your web site again today, noticed you moved to another site too. Tried the video and I have a question to ask and it's actually for anyone who uses Trainz - Is the frame rate always that choppy in Trainz?

The reason I ask is because it's that choppy on my computer too and I thought with an I7 processor and an NVidia card that it really shouldn't be choppy at all. It certainly isn't choppy on OpenRails and most of the time on MSTS.

The WHRC RS23 is taking shape Trainz don't have DAR models so I have to custom build them in Gmax This unit was never done for trainz and being something close to home it brings on a real touch to the model. For me making a rail car is easier then making a building or tree.

This model will have:
Fuel use, Amit Fans, lights, Night mod, Running numbers, custom Cab, Smoke, Custom Motor.


Here The Trainz Screen shot Rail yard for all other screens of this ongoing project.

Here The Demo Beta Test Maps ( uncompleted )

Map & Assists Downloads

I can give out missing Kuids in privet but can't reless them.

Please Note
The Eastern Canadian Cordor DAR Is Just Windsor Junction To Mount Uniack It dose Not Extend into to Truro, Halifax or Dartmouth, The other Dose be don't have the DAR added yet You can how ever marge the maps you will have to make adjustments first.
In time I'll make them margeable.
Thank you for testing this project if you wish to help out please pm me.

I would love to help road test this route but I honestly don't hardly have the time lately to properly care for the site!

I know there's some Trainz fans here. Any takers?

I'd be interested in it though I forget where I saw Trainz at, might had been Value Village for like 3$ But I'm sure I can find someway to test it out.

You also going to do up one of the RS-23 in WHRC colours (engine 8046)?
