Trainz Theory: Route Building
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лип 2024
- Welcome to a new mini-series called "Trainz Theory". In this series, I'll be going over my general thought processes and theories behind creating things in Trainz Simulator. In this first episode, I focus on route building from scratch from the initial idea, to final testing stage. I showcase a look into my workflow in Trainz along with giving some general tips along the way. Route building can be a daunting task sometimes so hopefully this video will help give you some new ideas, or a new way to look at Trainz route building!

The two people who said yes are the two coolest fans.
Hey, as Grandfather W would have said, "That's two more yesses than it would have been had it been two less yesses than it was."

This is very helpful, I've been having trouble with filling in empty spaces.
This was super helpful, until now all I had to help me was those old Infraredbob routes and vids.
Glad to see I wasn’t the only one! lol

Trainz 2022 has left the chat
Something I do with forested areas is use a browner hue of ground cover within the forest to reflect having less light hit the forest floor and a ground covering of decaying leaves. For those forested areas I usually use splines instead of individual trees. Oh, and currently use TANE. Previously had 2006 then 2009.
I used to put clumps of grass round the bottom of telegraph poles but it got tiring after a hundred of them. I use Ger Forest texture in forests.
As someone new to the whole Trainz experience, I found this extremely helpful. I have my own ideas and want to do my own series. Granted this will take a lot of time and patience, but I'm confident I can do this. Thanks for the tips and advice. Look forward to seeing more in this series. Keep up the excellent work.
Nice vid! I especially enjoyed seeing the growth of your skills over time in the concluding montage. Lovely stuff!
You have truly come a long way. Awesome work
Very nice video! Thank you for posting this video! I'm always building routes in Trainz both American and British routes, and this video helps give me some tips and ideas. I look forward to seeing more Trainz videos in the future!
Great Video, nice to see how someone else gets there ideas into trainz. I did pick up a few new ideas as well, hope to see more.
I appreciate this video greatly! The railroad tracks along my line are extremely remote or on the back roads and old by ways deep in the Appalachian Mountains. alot of the track is hard to view unless you walk on them so this gave me a little inspiration.
Man, this is a video that I didn’t know I needed!
I love this series please do more!
Thanks mate! I constantly build trainz routes so this helped alot
We should get more of this series, I love this
I have been a route builder for years and still never finished, nicely put video to help the new fooks! A little tip adding grades to tracks gives realsom to a route
This actually helped a lot!!
Ngl I could've sworn I replied "Yes" when I first saw it but this is unbelievably helpful!
Yooooooo great series, hope we get an episode 2 soon
Your video was posted some time ago but I just came across this, thank you for the tips & tricks here (just getting into Trainz). I bought 2019 version but hardly did anything with it & now just bought a 1yr subscription 2022 version so I need all the help I can get. Half of the battle for myself is just navigating around in Trainz, but it's coming along. Gotta start somewhere LOL. Thanks again!
Jared, despite how much you've grown at building routes and modules, my favorites of yours are still the Cass City Branch line modules (particularly the GTW Buffalo Yard) and your Marysville Railroad Stories modules
I’d love to see more of these
Thanks man this acc gave me a whole lot of inspiration!
super helpful thanks for making this
Amazing video!
Speaking of railway routes, I think I have a few railway routes you could design in the future specifically around a Virginia theme.
Some of the crossings we have are… rather unique compared to some other regions of the country.

great video!
I Love It!
Your videos are the best
Nice and thats cool
Look mom
I made a cameo in a video
Jokes aside
This is a really good video about route making
This really helped me with my route making!
This was a great video and I'll definitely be using the tips and tricks that you showed in the video. Although, do you know a good place to get desert-ish like shrubs and bushes? And maybe cacti? Thanks and again, great video!
Interesting to know these facts
I use SAM VS Grass 2 as my default grass texture and SAM VS embankments because they have the most realistic grass texture and in the case of the ground texture the grass no repeating pattern. Since the embankments and grounds match you don't get an ugly outline at the bottom of the embankment. I have only built 3 routes and someone on a modelling forum commented on the signalling on one of my videos "You need more signalling and your distant signals aren't right". I replied that the signalling was 100% accurate to the actual real life signalling and was measured from OS 25" to the mile maps so every signal was exactly where it was in reality. He never admitted he was wrong but gave me a like !
I enjoy this
I might unironically use these tips for my Roblox train games. Thanks for the tips
Would love to know where you get your high quality models or even learn how to make them

I CAN NEVER ESCAPE HIM
To be real tho that's what I'm gonna be using this video for lol
i have trainz 2009 world builder edition and i learned so much from this video thanks😃
Am liking that 2019 scene with Chessie System. :)
That you so much!
Me, who has Trainz 2009:World Builder Edition:
Wait, you guys have layers, 3D trees, good quality lighting, etc?
I have Train Simulator 2015, this is very helpful thanks a lot.
This is the most helpfull video for modelling i have ever come across with no segways or distractions in the message.
That pattern you get in soil tectures has always annoyed me. Thats there is Gold to me, great stuff.
But...lol....i Quote:" ...even the flattest of locations have some kind of hills or dips...." i call bullshit. Ride the Indian Pacific (trans Continental Railway) across the Nullabor Plain in Australia 1108 Miles(1783 km) with a 297mile (480km)section that is dead straight.
I bought my first version of Trainz in 2015. And its taken until now to start to be able to say im pretty mediocre at things like terrain work and detailing. Im going all out with a massive urban scene currently as I continue to experiment with my skills and such. Its fun but trainz is very tedious is all I'll say. Good to have a video to throw some basic tips out for how to just get started.
what version was it?
@@SuperSudrian you mean my first version? TANE when it was first released. I hadn’t had a train sim before that point
5:27
thats the Potomac River where i occasionally fish for Catfish and sometimes Bass..
MORE LIKE THIS!
Informative video.
I have a question about longer routes;
Is it acceptable to create a route nearly accurate measurement between major cities to the real life or make the route shorter for gameplay purposes?
After watching this video I was looking on google map and found a crossing in Pennsylvania and when I was making it in trainz 2019 it came out well :D
It's 12:00 AM and it's a Midnight lol
the only tip i have is only use the PBR textures in areas like ballast or concrete, it looks alot better then the 2D ballast imo
please make some more of these video's they are very educational?.
You can still see a lot of interurban infrastructure in Jackson,Parma,Albion,Marshall and Battle Creek Michigan still left.
Another thing you forgot was the custom traffic on the DLS, IE right hand drive DLS, trust me it makes the road traffic way better for background activity.
8:49 this may sound dumb but where did you get that road spline and intersection I’m asking because I would like to add them to my custom route.
Btw this video has really helped me make my custom route look way more detailed and realistic
Nice
…
I am building a New Route for TANE. It is called BNSF Stockton sub. I started it last night.
Never knew the 5m grid trick, and I've been playing since the 2004 version. ha!
2 questions.
1: Do you know how to change day to night in trainz?
2: In engines of nyc, where did the empire state express engine come from?
I ironically want to see actual classes in regards to trainz route theory
Where (if their is any) can we download you maps cuz I would love the play on some of them that are so good
Heres a challenge, near Wisconsin Dells the track ballast is purple due to this type of rock that is mined there heavily, i want you to try and find Purple Ballast track
POGCHAMP
hey jared. where can i get those CMQ SD40-2Fs at?
yes
As someone whos made extensive use of the TS2~ world editor, (chech out my Lackawanna Mainline in the Steam workshop), its amazing to see how much easier the Trainz world editor looks to use. TS is really not a productive way to build routes.
Wow
If you make another one of these videos, please, PLEASE do one on how to kitbash, if you know how.
I'm new to Trainz and this video was a great help. I have heard of 2 third content sources K&L and jointed rail, are they both compatible with Trainz 2019?
yes they are
someday I would like to make a mordern day version of the MoPac or MKT
I'm hoping to recreate John Allen's Gorre and Defeated model railroad.
One of the troubles I have with route building is finding usable scenery assets. A lot of DLS assets I have or find are crusty TS2009 Textured Low Lod Buildings
This video is very helpful but for my trainz 2 I only have that
Can you do The branch line at Las Vegas
Time stamp 5:27 Nebasco Creek along the RF&P?
But thats just another theory,
A TRAINZ THEORY
Let's be honest James and Henry had something going when they had that something with the trees
Does the massive amount of ram help for trainz? I only have 16GB of ram but a 8Gb GTX 1070 founders Edition and a Ryzen 5 3600
where do u get most of ur rolling stock?
There's no need to use billboard trees as backline, if SpeedTreez You're using have a proper made LODs. Every SpeedTree asset has the last LOD made as a billboard, so your forest will be full-detailed at closer look and plain and fast billboarded at distant ranges. I advanced games SpeedTrees even has more than one billboard for many directions (up to 16 in UE 5).
Im realyl struggling trying to recreate the NYC system route and i just bought trains yesterday
How Do you Make Trees a certain season in trainz 2019?
I want another one 😈
ST trees are speed trees. ST stands for speed tree. They are clearly from the speed tree program
What's the route at 5:26? That looks so cool lol
One of the two votes for this video's existance was this talented young man. Here's his channel. Give it a look. He makes awesome Thomas videos - ua-cam.com/users/TheIndonesianIndividual
Amtrakguy writes the theory and we do the praxis
AmtrakGuy, your next episode should be how to make a “talking Trainz series” (i.e voice actors).
Hey amtrak365, you ever heard of lupin the 3rd? its very cool
I'm waiting on mobile to add surveyor.
Really excited.
I don't own a computer.
Least I have the Google play...
Hehehe
POWER
But hey, that's just a theory. A TrainZ theory.
The 2013 routes i wouldnt even think off bc if i did any bridges that hight idd require 2 base bords lol
Plz do more
What does the hole punch do?
How do I add base bord to make my world bigger
7:24 where did you get the LMX GE locomotive
Control point simulation
What grass splines do you use?
4:25 Me having TS2022 in the nutshell
this is literally how i make my layouts in rolling line lol
