Multiplayer Surveyor (MPS) is a new Trainz Feature for TRS2019, TrainzPlus and Gold Class members. Introduced in November 2020 (see Tony Hilliam on "Now Enjoy Trainz With Friends"), MPS allows multiple players to collaborate on building a route stored on a cloud server. In short, users can edit a route and operate trains on that route together in real time. Detailed information on this new Trainz feature can be found at Multiplayer Surveyor.

The MPS experience differs from standard (on your computer) trainz in several important ways. Available routes are shown on the bottom menu bar with purple titles. Selecting and clicking "EDIT ROUTE" will log you onto the cloud server and the selected route will slowly develop on your screen in surveyor mode. There are no sessions; changes you (or others) make occur in real time. You can switch to driver mode (TOOLS MENU).

Access to assets to develop the route is limited to a fixed list, which is periodically expanded.
