NN&U RR Beta 2.0 Instructions and Custom Items List
If you've had fun with Beta 1.0 of the NN&U RR, get ready for a whole new experience. I've substantially expanded and improved the original yard at Bodine and made some minor but important improvements to existing trackage. More importantly, I've added sixteen new baseboards. These feature a new town with a passenger station, new industry and farm spurs, and a whole new passenger terminal and expansive yard. Additionally, through a tunnel on one of the new baseboards, you'll find a "hidden" staging yard. It's left bare for a reason: you're not supposed to drive there directly, but rather use it to represent traffic to and from a distant locale, another mainline, or a branchline. Simply send AI trains in and out of the staging yard by throwing the proper switches. The NN&U RR features a number of custom items. You can find them at the following sites. It may seem like a hassle to download these, but you'll find it well worth it because many other layouts feature these, and you can really spice up your own layouts with them. Many thanks to all the folks who developed and released these items. Thanks, too, to David Tweddle for his "Successful Signaling for Trainz" tutorial. Please note the alterations from the custom item list of the NNURR Beta 1.0 release, described below. This layout was tested for compatibility with Trainz Service Pack 2.From Content produced by outside parties at Trainz Luvr: ADDED-Stockman Feed Mill Greensburg Indiana (updated version) Waterfall Textures Forklift Twin Billboards Road Divider Anette Theresa ships Excavator
From Content produced by Trainz Luvr's own developers: ADDED: Transit Bus Reskins UPDATED: Docks (latest version) ADDED: 2-Stall Engine Shed ADDED: Cheap Dirty Container Crane ADDED: British Suburban Station ADDED: Kraft Mill ADDED: Suburban Shop 1 ADDED: Suburban Shop 4 ADDED: McDonalds Restaurant Johnson Industries (all files) Electric Substation Roadside Billboards (Tall) Wall Splines Stackable Containers (all) Piperack Switch Tower Streetlights (and patch) Levers (Invisible) Wooden Pallets Watertower Metal Drum Road w/ Sidewalk splines REMOVED: Residential Construction Items (construction materials file). These are great items, but I just used one little tiny piece of them in one location and didn't think it worth asking people to download it for the purposes of this layout. You should still check them out for use in your own layouts.
From the "Trainz Downloads" forum of Magic's Trainz Fan-Forum (note new URL): Bushaltestelle REMOVED: Animierter Kran. Found a more appropriate one. Parkplatz Parkplatz (not sure which is in the layout, frankly) REMOVED: Baustellenschilder. (Accidentally omitted from the original list, though present in Beta 1.0 of the layout. Item omitted from Beta 2.0. Again, a nice item, but too small to notice since it was used in only one place on the layout.) REMOVED--Bodentexturen (Should be part of the complete Johnson Industries package from Trainz Luvr.)
