[TS] Scenic Item Creation
Everyone should have a go at this, creating a bit of basic scenery is really quite easy and certainly within the grasp of anyone - find some tutorials, ask questions, and keep it simple to start with (a simple box!) and get that buzz when it shows up in the sim as your very own object! Then upload it to UKTS and share it with others!

Safety first here folks! Signalling is very important but very tricky and a detailed bit of knowledge to understand. This is a great place to pick the brains of some amazing folk that understand old and modern signalling systems very well, and also to see what's being done to improve the Train Simulator signalling system by the community.
