Hello all. I'm a new TranzDEM user. The program has many options and features. It will take me quite a while to learn how to best use them, even after experiencing the tutorials.

I agree. Once I was able to
run a Trainz route depicting a local railroad on local TranzDEM assembled terrain, it was much too enticing to start expanding by adding more raster maps and routes to a one degree microDEM map!
I really need to practice using TranzDEM options on just one or two 7.5 minute raster maps just to learn the best ways to use TranzDEM. It is just so enticing to have a Trainz route on terrain near where I live that I have difficulty resisting the desire to fill a one degree microDEM map!
Sadly but fortunately, TranzDEM 2.6 works quite well on an older 32-bit laptop running Windows Vista on 3GB RAM with the memory allocation mod applied. My old version of Trainz (TRS2006) also works well enough also. (I have several versions of Trainz - 2004, 2006, TC1 and 2009 - but 2006 runs best on my hardware.)
Thanks to geophil for creating TranzDEM and the users of this forum for sharing their advice and experiences. My experiments are rather timid by comparison.
Edit: Please be patient with my responses, unless I login with my smartphone, it is not unusual for me to be offline for several weeks at a time. The same restrictions apply with emails.
