Trainz: Build Challenge #1 - Union Terminal
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 ก.ย. 2024
- This is Build Challenge! A new series where I attempt different mini builds in Trainz within a set of criteria.
In the first few episodes of this series we'll be working on a transition era passenger terminal model railroad. The challenge for this build is simply to accurately model the location and era.
Let me know in the comment section what other challenges you would like to see me take on. Anything from a diorama to your favorite industry or even timed challenges, if it's reasonable and I think I can build it within 1-4 episodes give it a try. All suggested builds must be considered small (think 1-4 baseboards)!

The Norfolk Southern Indian River Secondary! Would LOVE that! (Based in Delaware)
The Virginian Mainline would be very cool to see and would have plenty of mountain grades, branch lines, tunnels, large spans over towns and rivers and a electric/diesel locomotive repair facility as well as a couple of yards. It would cover steam, electric, and diesels (something for everyone), as well as the Virginian, N&W, NS, and WATCO Kanawha River Railroad companies.
Fantastic!! Chicago, St. Louis and NYC come to mind when it comes to Union Stations and urban scenes. THERE are SO MANY RURAL scenes in railroading in North America. I love that you are doing Transition Era Station! Contrary-- many of the European and Japanese and Indonesia routes have PEOPLE and buildings! I would like to see more steam and/or transition era -able routes in general, and I love great rural routes like what Jointed Rail (Coal Country and Legacies BN) has done, but want something with at least one great urban terminal...... Your work is GREAT and enjoy it all, whatever you do.........
Those New York Central diesels look very good!
I would love to see you do something from the UK back when British Rail was at its peak, but looking at some of the other peoples ideas this seem pretty boring. Loved this video, cant wait for more build challenges!
A coastal route would be nice, with track going close to the ocean and serving small-scale docks, fishing ports, fish plants, canneries, etc.
A small tourist railroad set in a generic northeast autumn would be cool, you could also run trains of cabooses.
Please do a build of the San Diego station! i lived near there when i was young, and it is a place very dear to my heart, i always loved seeing the super Chief locomotives passing through and stopped at that station. it is also a beautiful station from its architecture and such
You should try and create a short version of one of the ore hauling great lake routes in Minnesota. A good example is the lake superior and ishpeming which ran Alco power until fairly recently.
You should do a Sacramento Northern Street Running route,1940s style. Electric Boxcabs and Interurban Passenger trains!
Nice build! Very inspirational. To determine the angle of your switches you can use the rulers. They tell you the degree of the angle also. When I do large yards that's the way I do it. Maybe it helps :)
The Chicago Loop, I would use that as the start of my Chicago L route.
Try to build Selkirk yard in Selkirk ny it would be so cool! Because my dad drives CSX trains to there but if can't that's ok. Like this series all ready! Keep up the good work!!!:)
AM looking great so far. Can't wait to see the next episode of this series!
Your almost to 7K now! Congrats!
Hello approach medium, what a great start to this new series, as you know i am from the UK and i though you could build a tramway through a small town also with a depot for the trams. The trams could meet next to a small branch line station where people can get from the train to a tram.
The outro reminds me.of Doctor Who. One thing I'd really love to see is a build of a small town with a street running train in modern era US. Hope that wouldn't take too much time off your hands. Great episode :-)
About the tangents and long switches, they can be small in the yards where stuff isn’t moving at high speed. However on the mainlines, then you want to have larger junctions so that passengers can stay at speed and on time. (It’s also considerably more comfortable.)
Model Railroader Magazine’s Winter Hill layout.
I think it'd be really cool for you to attempt Taylor yard in Scranton, PA. It's a small yard that you could easily fit on a couple baseboards, but a lot is going on there. The NS interchanges with the Reading & Northern and there is a small intermodal terminal there as well. I believe CP used to interchange there, but no longer does if I remember correctly.
Great idea!
Fairfield Works. US STEEL or the BSRR Birmingham Southern Birmingport route
A model railroad recreation from a popular real life model railroad.
How about building the Tennessee Valley RailRoad Museum's missionary ridge local route. Along with the Soule shops and the storage and display tracks in front of the station.
I would love to see you build a Australian layout. Loved this video please do more
May I suggest a challenge, do something either off the Southern's Murphy branch, or off saluda (maybe Melrose)
Nice new series! can you try CSX Rougemere yard off the Plymouth Sub?
Can you do a Australian HO model railroad if you do then I would be really happy 🇦🇺😄 PS can it be New South Wales
I'd love to see something related to the Strasburg Railroad, like East Strasburg Station/Yard or the entire route from East Strasburg Station to the mainline connection. Or maybe the Walt Disney World Railroad/Monorail.
I have a build challenge. Build Horse Shoe Curve (Just the curve and some track leading up to it) but afterwards there is the Tehachipi Loop but Conrail or NS units run it
Not sure if youre still taking suggestions but a new england logging railroad would be cool.
I bet this will be a hell of a route(im refering that this will be a good route.
Awesome!
Some type of urban, industrial layout would be cool.
Love the idea man and what about a DT& I style of layout
I live in Florida, and I agree, there is not enough British and German locos,we need a better British route,like the west coast main line.there are dozens of British routes that could be done.as far as my home country, why not the North Jersey coast line or the horse shoe curve in pa,there are no good routes that I have found outside of what you have created,jointed rails for sure,and Roy joostens Canadian Rocky mountain.i am 40 years old and if I could wiz through laying track like you do,I would be happy to donate my time.i would like to know how you choose your track,the download station is just loaded with outdated content.if people don't start developing more for tane,trainz is simply gonna fade away.i am willing to learn.start with some tips and tricks without moving 100 miles an hour.great video.one last comment about British content, jointed rails could create a ton of British locos such as the class 57,66,67, 150,158,some of the German DB locos,Amtrak baggage and coach cars,I would buy this content if someone would create it,hell I would donate a hefty sum if someone would please create more content.all the current stations and buildings are so outdated all the way back to trains 2004.shew I am done now.
Hey you should model a tourist railroad like the great smokey mountain railroad or even a route somewhat based off the route the steam trains at Disney run
Yes!!! I cannot wait to see how this turns out! Who did you get the idea from?
Hmmm. You basically read my mind at what I wanted you to do, but no more suggestions. Just is nice to see a channel and content creator who does both Diesel and Steam. Try some electric :)
Also, you should get the NYC steamers from K&L. Very excellent engines
Build challenge... Nittany & Bald Eagle Railroad, Bellefonte, PA, for TRS19
Do an abandoned industrial port or industrial park or oil refinery!
Do a war scene with tanks, jets and trenches. Search "army", "military", "naval", "gun" and solider" on the DLS for awesome assets!
Cheyenne yard in 1950's with steam maybe some articulated locomotives like the challengers and big boy's
I challenge you to build the route that NS goes on through Carlisle PA
For a build challenge can you do Chama New Mexico on the Cumbres and Toltec scenic railroad? Also, where did you get the NYC 0-8-0s?
How about an steel mill in Central PA during the 60's.
I would love it if you did the Pacific Northwest in HO scale the Astoria Line or A-Line from Astoria to Wauna.
Either that or Saint Helens to Scappoose or just saint Helen's in the late 90's
Either that or Saint Helens to Scappoose OR in the late 2000's
Chicago Union Station ;)
Cool series! Maybe Tacoma Yard up here in soggyville USA? It's a interesting, not too big yard, and it even has a functional turntable! Google Maps has a pretty good view of it. Punch these into the search engine: 47.241718, -122.428901
Maybe somewhere in Canada?
ONE tile routes ....
Seems to work out the Best....
Something southeast based North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia etc...
Saluda would be awesome, running Southern coal trains over the mountain would be a fun challenge
you can trying do Chicago union station yard it might be hard but if can do it let me know
Make a part of the CSX s-line
BTW, that passenger terminal is supposed to be a British prototype.
it would be great if u do something like lner or lms
Northwestern region based like Washington state,idaho
Where did you get the steam train at? I’ve got all that I can get without getting an unknown asset error because I can’t use the kuidindex because I can’t pay to use it.
How did you get the JR 40' boxcars to work? On mine, the script library is faulty.

prr ku I would like to see anything besides the United States as far as routes go,the few routes out for Europe are dull,if tane doesn't get a move on,train sim world is going to leave trainz behind,I have had trainz since 2001 when it first came out.trainz could be so much better if n3v would start creating more routes and content.jointed rail is top notch but we should have a first person view like train sim world, jointed rails locos look good darn real,we need better building roads, splines ect... So many people shy away from tane because so much out dated content,the buildings today look just like 2004,it's a huge shame,I want so much more for this amazing simulator.
join jew im sorry but i not pay 25$ or 20$ for single locomotive wtf i play trainz because i don't have money for models. i'm not from usa i don't pay in dollars i pay in PLN zlote 20$ = 70pln that lots of money for my. i don't pay for virtual loko wtf join jew don't make best conntent best conntent make by russians . russian make there locomotivs so realistic for free and usa don't make realistic that make locos to look good like models but i wants a realistic starts up full cab and enginer room trainz simulator SIMULATOR wtf i happenig to virtual rail comiuniti just pay for 1 loco witout cab just to look at the loco msts open rail run 8
tane and ts2017 plis that gonna by 1000000$ for virtual locootivs and routs
nothing wrong with run 8 if it's for you, i bought it awhile back and didn't care for it. train and plane sims are expensive hobbies.
in poland you have free train simlator maszyna
eu07.pl/?setlang=en
prr ku ,you can get a. Nice loco from jointed rails for 6-10 bucks and I spent hours when I started using jointed rails products,they also have a ton of freeware locos and rolling stock.tane is always on sale for half or even a quarter of what it's worth.i have spent hundrens of hours over the past 5 years playing with the route builder.the route builder is an incredible tool once you learn it,the only problems I have sometimes is with the track,this guy in this video could make some money as quick as he builds routes.i go slow, which is ok as we'll.
First! Cool video!
Would be lovely if you were to try doing something european
A route that uses electric trains ( overhead, third rail)
They started removing the ice plants in the 50’s and 60’s
