Trainz Simmers... ALERT!

Unread post by Dan M »

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 tracks, industry and yards. This initial version will have almost all track work from the 1940s on to present day (St. Clair Yard). Also in this build is the entire Tunnel Yard, Tappan, Pere Marquette / C&O trackage, GTW trackage, and of course the PH&D. Also the lines to the PM Boat Yard, GTW Papermills, and lines to Saginaw, Flint, and Mt. Clemens are represented. Bonus line of the Almont Branch (represented as the Almont Sub to Lansing / Plymouth) is in this sim as well.

For those with TS 2012 I'll post an update when it is uploaded and done.

Yay! I've been looking forward to this announcement for a long time, Dan. I can't wait to be able to use it on my own computer.


For those of you who might not see anything special here or aren't familiar with the PH&D, Dan's release is something quite special. I was privileged to see a preview of it several months ago, but even at that point it was very impressive. Personally, I haven't had much interest in the train simulation computer programs, but I will be purchasing a copy of the program just for this release!

Looks good Dan! I'm gonna have to put trainz 2010 on the computer. I've developed an interest in the PH&D ever since I worked at RailMark and helped with that caboose that was sent up there.

Hi Dan, A question if I may I have this game but I am having trouble updating/uploading content. My game says files need to be updated but the link it gives to update is a blank screen. Can you share a link on where I can go to update and load in your build it looks awesome as this game plays well already I can only imagine what it would be if it was working 100% without missing objects. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

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 yet. I have finished these two locos for the PH&D Route:

Hopefully I can get a lot done this week to finish the route and get everything uploaded by the weekend. For those interested in the PH&D, the 15th of Sept. is our Hobo Fest out there at the wye from 10a to 5 p. I'll be there with this sim on my laptop!
