Hi everyone, It's me again, looking for advice before I mess up (again)! My son is really wanting to have Thomas & Friends trains and the Island of Sodor to drive around. Ideally, I'd happily pay some money, and have a hassle free experience - but I don't think this is going to happen.

I've been searching the forums to try and find out how to do what I need to do, and have been directed to Sodor Island 3D si3d.jimbo.com However, I can't search the forum until I get approved (pending) and my son is keen for me to start downloading now. So I have found where the downloads are, but I don't really know what I'm doing. Any offers of assistance would be most gratefully received. Many thanks, jo. There is a file for Trainz known as a CDP file. (Content Dispatcher Pack). This is the file format where Trainz Content is stored.

Source, Trainz Download Station. Screenshot, Trainz 2006. Si3D's 2012 Era Thomas the Tank Engine - created by Skarloey123/ 5.5. After the success of the first. Design and Build your own railroads with Trainz Surveyor and access hundreds of thousands of assets from the Trainz Download Station Share your enthusiasm with other rail fans as your combine your efforts to operate a working rail line in the new Trainz Multiplayer.

These can be imported with the program Content Manager Plus once downloaded via File>Import CDP, then select the CDP file you downloaded. Alternatively, you can make a folder and put a number of CDP files in there and go File>Import Content. Then select the File you put all the CDPs in. I know this is brief, but it's all I have time for. Make a folder for your Trainz downloads so they don't get mixed up.

Thanks Jake and Robin, But I'm really needing some sort of tutorial. In the past, anything that can go wrong, has gone wrong. Trainz is the one thing that can (and does) really mess my life up, big time. I have very little knowledge of what I'm doing computer wise. I think that one of the things that is a problem for me around here is that (most) people who are interested in Train sims, have got an inbuilt understanding of computers that accompanies their journey. I'm hopelessly out of my depth.

What I really need is some place within the forum that is identified for (poor sods) like myself that are here because it's the only way to get out of a mess with our kids. Specifically kids who have a special interest in trains, but who perhaps can not yet read and write. And haven't mastered the art of visually memorising from you tube what needs to be done! So, if anyone has a tutorial they could guide me towards (Ive tried you tube, but the one I found was dreadful and the camera went everywhere until I felt sick!) I'd be really grateful. Thanks again, jo.

Well, I've had a go at it. And I have managed to get Thomas to appear in the list of trains, but when you click on it, nothing happens. So I've gone to the download place and it has missing dependencies and when I look at the list of errors this is what is shows.

But quite what all this means is a totally mystery to me. Anyone got any ideas? Error: Dependency is unknown.

I just extracted Thomas into TS09 I only have one item missing and it is on the D/S. Well when I first started using a PC all I previously knew was how to use an Amega A500 (nothing like using a PC) Over time and use I now can use it well and the same apples to Trainz I knew nothing and started with the original Trainz 1.3 Its just time practice and gained knowledge so dont sell your self short.

If you need specific advice I can probibly help you, it is better to start with the earlier Trainz editions like TRS2004 and since you dont have TRS2006 - TS09Hi Robin.Im not sure how to update the list of trainz simulator programmes that we have here. But, you name it, and we've got it. They just don't all show up. Some of them are on the laptop (barely running these days, but operates on windows 7) and on the new windows 8 computer we have 2012, 2009 and 2010 (except the 2010 one wont run. I had a nasty lot of troubles a couple of weeks back, which the forum crew kindly assisted with, but ultimately, it won't run and I can't in truth, cope with even thinking about that right now!) But unfortunately for me.:-/ my son has been kicking around with Trainz and Railworks since he was about 3 years old.
