This page lists available "How To" Guides which describe how to achieve certain tasks in Trainz. HowTo pages provide much detail on specific actions, whereas Help pages are intended to respond to in-game needs for help or as quick guides to specific actions. Help pages specifically for Trainz Railroad Simulator 2019 or TRS19 can be found at Help:TRS19
Users are encouraged to add their own guides to this page in a similar fashion, or expand on existing guides. Please keep in mind that this site is dedicated to the current version of Trainz and that techniques used should relate to this version. Editors note: all pages here should fit the pattern "How to X", as in "How to place signals". Pages and topics which cannot be phrased in this manner do not belong on this page.
