16th December 2021

Today marks the release of a cheeky little Trainz 19 update to my RWS Kirk Ronan route. Hope you enjoy, but don't take this as a definitive sign of a return to regular releases.

Hello there,

Nathan and Matt have now moved on to a new site.

It is called TheRailwayWorks3D, and this is where it can be found: https://ttteseasonsus323.wixsite.com/therailwayworks3d

That is where their future content will be hosted. I wish them luck with their future endeavours on what's hopefully a less restrictive site, and I hope you all will, too. 

This leaves Hilltrack's Trainz Routes with a single (and the original) content creator, that being myself.

As I don't see myself producing any new content in the near future, the site will be inactive indefinitely from now on. 

In other words, new content will not be released in the foreseeable future, but the site will remain open with my already released content still available to download. 

I hope you enjoyed our content while it lasted.

"A light that burns twice as bright burns half as long, and you have burned so very brightly." - Eldon Tyrell, Blade Runner (That is a movie you should all definitely check out!) 

Goodbye everyone!

Hello Everyone, It seems we've been inactive for a little while so I thought i might be a good time for a release. Recently i've been working on figuring out how to make hornsounds in trainz and I'm happy to say i think i've done it. So today, I'm releasing my first whistle sound, a CGI Flying Scotsman whistle. It's over on the Buildings and add ons page for you all to get. As always, I hope you enjoy and look out for new releases coming soon.
