The information in this Wiki Page applies to TANE, TRS19 and Trainz Plus.

This page is always under construction. As new driver commands appear and are tested they will be added to this list. Current Command Count: 58

Only driver commands supplied with Trainz or on the DLS are covered in this document.

The driver commands listed in this page are all accessible in the WikiLink.PNG Surveyor Session Editor using the WikiLink.PNG Driver Setup Rule.

Those commands that are identified as a DLS Command must be downloaded and installed from the Trainz DLS first.

Description Key:

  • <kuid number> is for the command version at the time of writing. This number will change if the command is updated.
  • DLS Command must be downloaded and installed from the DLS.
  • Base Command and Built-in Command are installed with Trainz.
  • Obsolete Command is no longer required (explanation given).
  • Legacy Command has been replaced by another command (new command will be identified).
  • SP2 and later means TANE SP2 and later versions including TRS19 and Trainz Plus.
