Nevertheless, some Trainz users have embarked on what they call Model Railroadz, choosing a model scale, say HO, them making assets 87 times larger to be used to construct a train room, these include walls, doors, ceilings floors, and other items. In recent editions of the simulator, Trainz has introduced a 5 metre grid, but the tunnel limitations remain. the dighole created at the tunnel portals, and the fact that the tunnel entrance can be only be aligned at 90 or 45 degrees to the grid are severe limitations.Īt the time, I lost interest in overcoming the “challenges”.

the 10 metre grid made it very difficult to create steep cliffs, especially where adjacent tracks were on different elevations.there were no fixed radius curves available, though most models would use transitions for the curves anyway – it is not difficult to make the flexitrack conform to a curved shape, and transitions are automatic.By its nature, a model railroad is limited in the available space and is usually quite crowded with track and uses sharply curved track. While I believe Trainz can be useful in planning a model railroad, in converting my track layout to Trainz, there were some limitations in doing a correctly scaled layout:
