Older Content Creation Guides
The "Content Creation Guide" was originally provided by N3V as an infrequently updated PDF document. It aimed to explain the configuration of each content type. It is superseded by the information on this site, however until such time as all documentation from the CCG have been migrated to this wiki it is still made available for reference purposes.
The Trainz Classics Content Creation Guide is available here (13.26MB) in PDF format.
A third-party effort at transcribing the monolithic form of the CCG is available here: Content Creator's Guide
