The Trainz community has been growing rapidly over the past few months in the wake
of the Trainz retail release and we can no doubt anticipate many new visitors with
the European release now in full swing.
This growth has been accompanied by an outburst of creativity that has resulted in
a flood of new content for Trainz made by the many talented members of the Trainz
community --- from lots of layouts to new locomotive models, many great skins and
numerous other trackside objects, structures and accessories. See what I'm talking
about for yourself and visit Download Station,
you will no doubt find a few downloads that will liven up your layout :)

Talking about additional content, you should also take the time to check out some of
the excellent Trainz fan sites that have emerged to support the growing hobby of all thingz
Trainz. For even more additional content stop by Trainz Luvr and say hi to Amigo
(http://trainz.luvr.net). On the site
route don't forget to load up on all the latest Train Sim news from the fat controller himself,
Barney, at CroTrainz (http://www.crotrainz.com).
One of my personal favorite stop-offs is Rebe's Trainz Humor
(http://trainz.dfx.org); as he puts it, "if it's
funny, and it's about Trainz, it's here! There are many other great sites to visit that I have not
mentioned, for the full list please see the Links page. Some
of the more recent additions include Matt's Trainz page
(http://www.geocities.com/mcjaco23/),
a German site specializing in all things Trainz and Gmax
(http://www.buddelkiste.de/), and Gary's Trainz page
(http://www.bluefinmicro.com/~garyp/trainz/index.htm)
that includes details about his first layout, California Dreamin and promises some future gmax tutorials.
If you have any announcements that you would like me to include about updates, features or
events on your Trainz site please let me know and I will include the details in a future edition of
the Trainz Community Express.
In support of our multi-national Trainz Community and accompanying the European retail release
of Trainz we have now opened new French, German and Spanish language forum areas. These new language
areas are currently unmoderated as unfortunately I'm only an English speaker (I know that is slack).
Finally, my Trainz forum waffle thread of the week. Some of the master wafflers are in fine
form in the following thread:
