3DZUGs brand new route "Brocken Railway" takes you to one of the most famous touristic routes in Germany. The 'Brockenbahn' takes you up to the top of Mt. Brocken with a historic steam train. Created with the latest technology, the route comes with a never seen before quality on your smartphone or tablet and later on for PC and Mac too.

The route will be released for Trainz Simulator 3 in November and for TRS 22 in December with even more details! New rolling stock and sessions included.

Ever since I took over TrainzDepot, copyright has been a topic that couldn't be avoided.

Some people simply don't care, others don't realize that a violation of it can have serious consequences.

A conversation with a (former) site owner colleague, who had to be liable because of a corresponding violation by a user - and as a consequence had to close the site completely - now makes me address this topic again.

Please make sure to upload only your own content or content that you have explicit…

After 3DZUG already released three routes for Trainz Simulator 3 (Mobile), the work on the first desktop track for Trainz 2022 is almost finished.

As soon as the PZB90 is programmed and the beta test is finished, the route with sessions and brand new vehicles can be purchased in the N3V store or on the 3DZUG website.

A release is planned for the 4th quarter of 2022.

which can now be purchased via the content store integrated in Trainz Simulator 3.

As already mentioned elsewhere, we are currently looking for reinforcement for the Trainz.de team.

You might have noticed that the actuality and range of news on the homepage is rather limited, although there would be enough to report.

The reason is that some team members are no longer active, others are currently very busy due to work, school, family or similar.

For this reason we would be grateful if you would support us as a team member especially in the following areas:

Writing or proofreading…

In the topic "Adventskalender entfällt / Verstärkung gesucht" I have already written,

that there will be no regular advent calendar this year.



Because we were quite late with the planning and there were not enough messages to fill the advent calendar, we have decided not to use the advent calendar plugin this year, empty doors are not nice.



To give content creators the possibility to offer content in advent calendar style, I created a forum thread that can help out a bit:

Improvisierter…

Hello everyone,

after long preparations I finally managed to import the forum content of the TrainzDepot and the TrainzDepot archive to Trainz.de.

So we now have a database regarding the forum that goes back to the year 2008.

This would also explain the somewhat longer maintenance break.

Due to the takeover, some (sub-)forums have been added, but there will certainly be adjustments to this in the future.

Old user accounts were not transferred (privacy!), all old posts are not linked to a user…

Dear Trainz.de visitors,

almost unnoticed I have bought and installed an update of the forum software in the last few days. New features are mainly in detail and in the background, for some of the new features you have to make some adjustments.

Visible or relevant changes:

• We will replace the currently used "news system" with the integrated article function in the future, so it should be possible in the future for users to submit news, which will be checked and activated by the moderation.

…

a warm welcome to Trainz.DE, the new main page of the german Trainz community!

As the Trainz.DE- (and former TrainzDepot-) team we look back onto a long time in the Trainz community.

Most people here (hopefully) still remember the TrainzDepot. The TrainzDepot has changed faces quite a few times in its 16 years of existance but in the middle of january... suddenly all the lights turned off.

We had planned to introduce new things to TrainzDepot for a while, for example we wanted to become more…

Dear users of the TrainzDepot,


after our data loss last week we as the TrainzDepot-Team had to ask outselfes the question, how we’re going to continue from now on. A full restore of the TrainzDepot as it was is unfortunately not possible, at least not one we can use in production again.


In the past we had already planned some changes and improvements, amongst other things we wanted to bring you news from the world of Trainz much quicker than before. Some of that was still in preperation when…

Often I've read about N3V not listening to the requests of german or european Trainz users.

I just talked to Tony Hilliam (CEO of N3V) about what we could do to create a better experience for german/european users.

As a result, i'd like to collect information about how to improve Trainz.

We've choosen a multi-step process:

A) Collecting information (via the attached forum topic, there are three questioned topics:

• 1.) What improvements do you wish for Trainz in general?
• 2.) What

In this place, i would like to let you know about the last day of registration for the TrainzDepot-Meeting 2018.

After the 20th of July, no registration is possible anymore.

All information about the meeting and the registration could be found here: TD-Treffen Hamburg 2018 (or in the Box on the right).

Wie ihr bestimmt schon mitbekommen habt, wurdet ihr (ggf. erneut) zur Zustimmung zu den Nutzungsbedingungen aufgefordert.
Dies liegt zu einem am gegebenen Anlass, aber auch darin, dass diese wohl bei einer vergangenen Aktualisierung der Foren-Software nicht mit-übernommen wurden, bei der Gelegenheit haben wir die Nutzungsbedingungen auch auf den aktuellen Stand gebracht. Wer die Nutzungsbedingungen nicht akzeptieren möchte, kann das TrainzDepot nicht mehr interaktiv nutzen. Ich stehe bei…

Es ist soweit, ein Großteil des Programms für das TrainzDepot-Treffen 2018 stehen fest, Hotelzimmer sind geblockt und das Treffen (31.08.-02.09.2018) kommt so langsam näher,

es ist nun Zeit, die Informationsseite und das Anmeldeformular zu aktivieren.

Zusammen mit Sachsenbahner habe ich eine Informationsseite erstellt, wo die Eckpunkte des Treffens zusammengefasst sind und auch die Anmeldung verlinkt ist:

http://hamburg.trainzdepot.net

Ein paar Punkte sind noch zu klären und werden in den…

Nachdem nur einige Zeit ins Land ging und ein Großteil der Downloads des vorherigen TrainzDepots immer noch nicht in diese Version übernommen wurde,

habe ich zum Glück einen Weg gefunden, alle Downloads zu importieren.

Ein paar Downloads wurden nun bereits zuvor manuell übertragen, hier bitte ich insbesondere die Autoren darum, die alten Varianten zu melden bzw. zu löschen.


Viele Grüße

Sebastian

Schon am Freitag gab es von N3V Neuigkeiten zur kommenden " Service Pack 2"-Aktualisierung für Trainz: A new era.

Während der erste Teil wohl eher Beta-Tester betrifft, ist die Liste der Änderungen wohl für alle Freunde von Trainz relevant.

Der Kreis der Beta-Tester wurde nun erweitert, alle diejenigen, die bereits am Test des SP1 teilgenommen haben, können nun auch SP2 testen.

Anlaufstelle wäre hier das Beta Test Center (Option A lesen, dann zur Option B wechseln für das komplette…
