==Getting Started with TRS19==
Trainz Railroad Simulator 2019 (TRS2019), due to be released in Q4 2018, builds upon the Trainz A New Era (TANE) version released in May 2015 (and regularly updated since then).

TRS2019 introduces many new features, and retains much of the features familiar from TANE and it's predecessors. If you are familiar with TANE, then you will be familiar with much of TRS2019, and we would suggest continuing to the [[#New in TRS2019|New in TRS2019]] section.
