    I'll join in with an enthusiastic yes! Love the idea very much and I'll watch the videos of things I already know how to do too. Always interested in how someone creates things to pick up more efficient ideas or methods. Go for it!

      I think it would be awesome, especially if you could maybe point people back here for the TSRE download and more detailed assistance...
      If you like what you see here at Trainsim.com, be it the discussions and knowledge in the forums, or items available in our library, I hope you'll consider a paid membership to help support keeping the site operating.... Thanks!

        I would suggest that rather then creating yet another tutorial from scratch, that an existing one be improved.

        I had created a “starting” tutorial ( https://www.coalstonewcastle.com.au/...uild-tutorial/ ). It was designed to allow the user to create a small route (around 10km) so that they would be encouraged to develop their skills before taking on more ambitious projects, also it is hopefully a project that can be done in a short enough time before they loose interest. It came with all the necessary components required to get started, easy peasy for the new route builder.

        So perhaps it would be good to focus your videos on it to make it as simple as possible for a new route builder, so that would support building of this small route so that they can achieve a sense of achievement.

        I would also suggest that it be done in a couple of levels, ie initially enough of the basics to allow them to complete the route. Then more complex tasks and activities once they are “hooked”.

        Contact me if you are interested.

        PS: it is already referenced from the OR web site.

          Yes, I would GREATLY welcome this, and I feel a lot of others would too.

            I, for one, would really appreciate a video tutorial. I have tried to follow a couple of written tutorials but with those, it is really hard to know if you have the right TSRE tool (of which there are many) selected, or turned off. A video would show which tools need to be loaded for each step of the process.

            I'm really interested in trying to do a local route but I just can't seem to get the first few steps going.

            Thanks

              Bert, this "not knowing status" was a complaint voiced many times to the original author. It wasn't until Eric started doing updates that we now have some status indicators, since knowing what you are doing and what mode you are in is rather important to a lot of folks. Not sure if you are using a newer version of the program, https://www.trainsim.com/forums/file...leid?fid=90489

                Pete,

                Thanks for the Link above. Every time I download the latest version of TSRE5 I always have the same question. How do you get the Up and Down arrow to zoom in or out. I've asked the question many times before, but I forgot the answer. At my age I don't even remember what I had for breakfast this morning. 👴
