Mainly route builder and scenario creator although I do drive free-roam sessions etc in my spare time. Usually only drive for testing and screenshots.

I'm all three, I guess, but my main foray these days is a routebuilder, as I get enjoyment out of this side of railworks!

I enjoy driving, especially new stock.

I also dabble with scenarios in the main too.

I must say im also a producer of railworks videos too... which involves driving, routebuilding and scenarios!

Driver and soon to be builder. Just started learning 3d modelling. Hats off to all the developers. I just tried to make dice and even that was a pain! :oops:

I'm definitely a driver...

I'd love to get into development & scenario creation but it seems so darned difficult... I can't even swap a loco over in a scenario... :cry: I've got a 58 that I'm dying to drive but dunno how to put it into a scenario... :roll:

I'm just a driver who enjoys every minute in the cab. Even more enjoyable having got RWTools. Variety is the spice of life. :o

You can drive these trains? :p

I don't drive very much; unless it's a steam powered pickup goods or a HST run ( don't ask me why those are different, I don't know! ) I end up alt-tabbing and listening for AWS warnings...
My posts are my opinion, and should be read as such.

Don't make excuses Eric. :D

There are manuals provided with Railworks as well as guides available in the file library here. Once you get over the initial hurdles, it all becomes clear.

Mostly driving, but I've been playing around with the scenario creation side of things. Nothing major, but when I get the hang of it properly I might be brave enough to release one or two.

Darpor,

I've looked but am unsure where to find the required info... If you'd be as so kind to change the points for me or point me in the right direction then I'll trundle off in my shunter and see what I can do... (PS: sorry about the pun!!!) :P

To go back on my critical post earlier on...

RW shines when it comes to the fact I can edit my own copy of Wales & Borders to have a Power Station complete with balloon loop and now I am creating a full import shipping terminal, a la Immingham. Very very good.

Scenarios, route building and driving. Scenarios most of the time, however.
Behind a camera most of the time. Results in the link. Lucky to call snapping a job & hobby
