Trainz Railroad Simulator 2019 Introduction

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 section.

Getting Started With TRS2019

After you have installed TRS2019, you will see a shortcut for TRS2019 appear on your desktop. Double click this to open the launcher screen.

TRS2019 Launcher Screen

The initial launch screen is your start point for Trainz, providing access to Trainz itself, as well as Trainz Content (content manager), Trainz Settings, and more. See TRS19 Launcher for more information on the launcher screen.

Before you can start Trainz, you will need to enter your login details into Trainz. To do this, click on 'Trainz Settings', then click on the 'Internet' tab. Now enter your username and password, then press enter. Please Note: Your username and password are case sensitive.

See Trainz Settings for further information on the Trainz Settings window.

Now close the Trainz Settings, and click on Start Trainz.

TRS2019 Main Menu

You will now see Trainz itself load into the Main Menu. This menu provides access to Driver/Surveyor, and the Tutorials in Trainz. To get started, we recommend first playing through the tutorials; click on 'Learn To Drive' to access these.

See the Using the Main Menu page for further information on how to load Driver and Surveyor modes, as well as the other options on the Main Menu!
